Climate change mitigation requires a fast and efficient transition to clean and sustainable energy production.Enhanced Geothermal Systems (EGS) play a key Climate change mitigation requires a fast and efficient transition to clean and sustainable energy production. In this context, Enhanced Geothermal Systems (EGS) can play a key role in facing this challenge since, with this technology, clean energy production from the Earth's heat is no longer confined to volcanic or hydrothermal regions. Despite this potential, EGS presents society and economy-related problems that need to be solved to ensure operational safety, continuity, and public acceptance of such industrial projects. Induced seismicity is the major obstacle to the development and social acceptance of EGS projects. In the last years, several damaging earthquakes have been associated with EGS, leading to the definitive closure of the involved projects and raising social concerns against this form of energy production. With DERISK we aim to develop new paradigms for induced seismicity analysis, combining the latest available data acquisition technologies, such as distributed acoustic sensing (DAS), with innovative deep-learning techniques. To characterize induced seismicity with unprecedented resolution and accuracy, we want to develop a next-generation data analysis framework combining deep-learning and waveform-based seismic imaging techniques. Our final goal is to produce deep-learning-based enhanced microseismicity catalogs that will be used to test the performance of new induced seismicity forecasting models exploiting the recent research advances in the field of physics-informed machine learning. The techniques developed within DERISK will be tested and validated with high-quality induced seismicity datasets collected at different EGS sites. If successful, DERISK will open the way to a safer and more widespread development of EGS projects, contributing to the transition to sustainable energy production.

Artificial cells can mimic several basic cellular and physiological functions. The main goal of the SynEry project is to build a synthetic erythrocyte from the bottom up. SynEry has three well-defined scientific gaps and four specific objectives put together to overcome those gaps. The inclusion of Instituto de Medicina Molecular (iMM, Lisbon, Portugal) as a new SynEry partner, benefiting from iMM’s team long-term expertise with erythrocytes and membrane model systems, will help to achieve the biophysical characterization of GUVs with erythrocyte-like mechanical properties and on the evaluation of the synthetic erythrocyte prolonged circulation and in vivo functionality. Thus, the main goal of the inclusion of this new project partner is to assess the biophysical and biomechanical properties and cell-cell interactions before and after in vivo administration of the biomimetic erythrocytes. To achieve this goal, the new SynEry project partner will characterize the overall membrane biophysical properties of biconcave GUVs and the biomechanical properties of the synthetic erythrocyte. The assessment of how this synthetic erythrocyte behaves under flow conditions and performs cell-cell adhesion before and after in vivo tests will be performed. Finally, the stability and longevity of the synthetic erythrocytes after its administration on murine models will be evaluated. We believe the integration of this new partner in the Consortium will be extremely fruitful to achieve the main goals of SynEry. By employing these biophysical and nanotechnology analysis techniques, it is possible to gain valuable insights into the physicochemical properties, functionality, stability, and performance of synthetic erythrocytes, both before and after in vivo administration. This information is crucial for optimizing the design, production, and application of synthetic erythrocytes in different biomedical and therapeutic contexts, such as blood transfusion.

Quantum computing can be thought of in multiple ways. Among those ways, it can be seen as a computational model of quantum mechanics. Studying this model may have implications for our understanding of physics. It can also be seen as a new computational paradigm, with implications for computation, algorithms, and logic. Additionally, it can be viewed as a computational device that requires programming. Therefore, it is necessary to design and study programming languages for this purpose. The study of the foundations of quantum programming languages, type theory, and logic through the Curry-Howard correspondence may shed light on our understanding of quantum mechanics. Furthermore, it may lead to the development of new logics or the understanding of new structures in classical logic. Lastly, implementing these languages will enhance the way we program the new computers when they become widely used. In this project, we propose to study these various aspects of quantum computing, specifically focusing on the foundations of programming languages.

The artificial intelligence community, inspired by the tremendous progress made in neuroscience, has recently proposed powerful algorithms to enable effective real-time decision making based on a limited volume of noisy sensory data. However, implementing such algorithms in low-power devices remains a challenge due to the energy inefficiency that comes from separating logic and memory in current electronic systems. For the past 10 years, research groups have been developing alternative electronic components and systems, such as brain inspired computing architectures and novel resistive memory technologies to address this design bottleneck. The critical feature for these new technologies to perform at their best is a very high-density, reliable, non-volatile memory with infinite endurance. This ideal memory does not exist today, and it is unlikely it will ever exist. This project takes inspiration from the insect’s nervous system. The general aim of DIVERSE is to enable learning from a very limited volume of noisy data based on imperfect, limited density, low endurance, resistive memories. Unlike digital systems, insects are not very good at performing precise calculations, but they excel at making extremely energy-efficient real time decisions by combining sensory data recorded in noisy environments. I thus propose to take inspiration from the well-studied cricket’s nervous system and to use my experience and skills in resistive memories to develop a new technology that expresses robust cognitive behaviour while interacting with the environment. This cross-disciplinary work will lead to the fabrication of an innovative hardware/software platform with extremely high power efficiency and robust cognitive computing capabilities. This new technology will open new perspectives in dynamically developing areas including service and consumer robotics, implantable medical diagnostic microchips and wearable electronics.
