The Ultra Performance Wing project will validate, down select, mature and demonstrate key technologies and provide the architectural integration of “ultra-performance wing” concepts for targeted ultra-efficient Short/Medium Range aircraft (SMR), i.e. 150-250 PAX and 1000-2000nm range. The project directly addresses the Clean Aviation objectives: fuel burn reduction of minimum 30% aircraft level, compared to the state-of-the-art reference Aircraft A321neo. UP Wing will consider 2 aircraft configurations, covering both exploitation horizons outlined in Clean Aviation impact objectives: a high aspect ratio SAF wing with turbofan engine targeting 10-13% and a dry high aspect ratio wing with open rotor up to 17% energy efficiency efficiency increase on wing level. UP Wing will develop the integrated high aspect ratio SAF wing up to TRL4 until the end of this project and will provide concepts studies for several dry wing configurations. The interdisciplinary European consortium, consisting of airframe integrators, industry, research establishments and academia will develop the related enabling technologies covering all relevant engineering disciplines. Performance monitoring considering Impact Monitoring in close collaboration with the architecture project will be done. For all technologies, the project objectives are broken down to individual targets to be monitored. Ground, wind tunnel and virtual testing are foreseen. Thanks to multidisciplinary optimisation the overall wing design for Configuration 1 will ensure the proper integration of all technologies up to TRL4. These results will be picked up in a second Clean Aviation phase achieving TRL6 until the end of the Clean Aviation programme. These Clean Aviation objectives are well aligned to the development plans of future aircrafts entering into service in 2035 (SAF SMR & H2 Regional), with 75% market penetration until 2050. Academia involved will ensure proper scientific exploitations via lectures, conference contributions, journal proceedings whereas the industrial partners will mature specific technology bricks to TRL4 and higher.

DEATHRIT aims to examine how language and imagery, borrowed from Norse tradition, contributed to shaping the concept of 'Britishness' in the eighteenth century. This was a period when the British Isles were establishing emergent ideas of national identity and independent cultural artefacts by seeking vernacular literary traditions. Through a historical-contextual analysis of British texts, DEATHRIT examines how British nations used ideas of historical and ethnic heritage—specifically that of Scandinavia and Iceland—to affirm or transform their own cultural identity during the eighteenth century. The project objectives are as follows: 1. To situate eighteenth-century texts about Britain’s perceived heritage in Norse culture in relation to ongoing conversations concerning Britain’s relationship with Europe. 2. To demonstrate that the appropriation and mediation of ancient Scandinavian death imagery was an important vehicle for conceptualising British identity during the eighteenth century. 3. To establish a new approach to the body politic metaphor, one that accounts for death and death rituals as part of the function or dysfunction of a nation state. With these objectives, DEATHRIT aims to build on existing work within the fields of Eighteenth Century Studies and Norse Reception Studies. In doing so, it will establish the role of cross-historical and cross-cultural exchange, specifically with Scandinavia, within Britain's identity and nation-building process. It will draw on the theoretical fields of Disability Studies and Death Studies to provide an innovative framework to view the body politic metaphor. By reviewing select eighteenth-century British antiquarian poetry, essays, plays, travel literature, and periodical reviews concerning Scandinavian-inspired death and ritual, DEATHRIT will establish Scandinavia's role in developing Britain's body politic on a local and European stage.

The AMMoRFISM (Additive Manufacturing Modeling Research Fostering Innovation in Soft Magnets) project seeks to address the critical need for high-performance soft magnetic materials in the transition toward greater electrification, a key aspect of the EU’s 2050 climate neutrality goals. Energy production and use account for over 75% of the EU’s greenhouse gas emissions, and the development of next-generation power electronics and electric motors/generators is essential to reduce these emissions. Amorphous and nanocrystalline metals, known for their superior soft magnetic properties, hold great potential in this regard. However, these materials face limitations due to their low glass-forming ability, which restricts their production to a narrow range of manufacturing techniques. This project aims to leverage additive manufacturing (AM) technologies, particularly laser powder-bed fusion (LPBF), to overcome these limitations. LPBF offers rapid cooling rates that allow the production of bulk metallic glasses (BMGs) from alloys with low glass-forming ability, such as Fe-based soft magnetic alloys. Recent breakthroughs have demonstrated the potential of LPBF to print complex 3D geometries with excellent mechanical and magnetic properties, but advances still rely primarily on inefficient experimental trial-and-error methods. AMMoRFISM will develop an advanced computational framework to predict amorphous and crystalline phase formation during LPBF of soft magnetic alloys, focusing on the Kuamet6B2 alloy. The research objectives include developing a multiphysics thermomechanical model, a phase transformation kinetics model, and predictive tools for print quality and phase fractions. These tools will guide alloy design and process optimization, validated through experimental data from the ongoing AM2SoftMag project. This project is highly relevant to the work program as it aims to advance energy-efficient manufacturing and the electrification of the EU’s energy systems.

Embedding reproducibility in the strategy and design of research should be regarded as a key precondition to research quality. Unfortunately, only a fraction of published studies can be reproduced due to e.g, science’s need to be continuously innovative, pressure to publish, a lack of transparent reporting, and career assessments based on quantity rather than quality. While over the past decade many interventions to improve reproducibility have been introduced, targeted at funders, publishers, or individual researchers, only few of them have been empirically tested. This has resulted in a waste of time, effort, and resources invested in ineffective or even harmful interventions. We need a paradigm and culture shift to reform the R&I system both from the top down and the bottom up to regain overall trust in science. Open Science to Increase Reproducibility In Science (OSIRIS) aims to facilitate this shift by systematically gathering knowledge on the underlying drivers, testing effective evidence-based solutions, identifying incentives for reproducibility by stakeholders, and embedding reproducibility in research design. We set out to develop and test new solutions, while also testing existing solutions in order to provide guidance on what does and does not work. These aims will be realised by a unique, interdisciplinary team of scientists with hands-on expertise in Open Science (OS), reproducibility, implementation, and data sharing, along with a range of committed stakeholders, including early career researchers, publishers and funders, that are closely involved in the project through dedicated co-creation activities and as part of our advisory board. By the end of the project, OSIRIS will deliver and disseminate guidance about evidence based interventions that will improve the reproducibility of science.

Former U.S. Army analyst Chelsea Manning became notorious after releasing classified information to WikiLeaks in 2010. Manning’s 35-year prison sentence, commuted in 2017, provoked acrimonious debate not just about American military operations overseas, but about the extent to which values of transparency and accountability apply in the defence sector. Manning is the famous face of a larger trend, as new social media have enabled soldiers to publicize their experiences of combat environments through blogs, video clips, and leaks to the press. Soldiers’ revelations have elicited public and academic debate, but their impact remains unclear. My research provides a historical perspective to this question by refocusing attention on a period of global war and imperial expansion when modern ideals of open government first took shape. In the late eighteenth and early nineteenth century, against the backdrop of an expanding print industry and growing demands for government accountability, the East India Company (EIC) became the dominant imperial power in the Indian Ocean world. EIC soldiers acted as vital witnesses to these events, writing letters to newspapers, authoring books and pamphlets, and providing testimony in parliament. By comparing soldiers’ statements with official narratives, and by tracing how soldiers’ statements were received by parliament, the public, and the EIC, this research will determine what impact soldiers had on contemporary debates about imperial operations. Fulfilling this research objective will enhance our understanding of public attitudes to empire as well as illuminating the changing relationship between military, government, and the public. Through this research I will achieve technical competence in computational methods and narrative analysis techniques as well as training in grant-writing and team management, thereby positioning me to secure an ERC Starting Grant and become a leading voice in the field of British imperial history.
