TheSPIS MSCA DN training research program proposal focuses on the ancient Greco-Roman theatres and sanctuaries under the prism of both material remains and performances/rituals. It revolves around the idea that this topic offers a unique opportunity to connect present and past Mediterranean societies through different types of academic and non-academic engagement such as reception, fruition, patrimonialisation, modern spectacles, and research. The DN aims to drive new steps in research on Theatre/theatres as elements of cultural religious and social discourse, underlining their close relationship to sanctuaries and ancient religion. This can be grasped through archaeological evidence, and the interaction of their architectural, textual, and iconographical components. Following an interdisciplinary, multi-disciplinary approach fostered by intersectoral collaborations, our goal will be achieved through TheSPIS’ network, aimed at high quality research training of 12 researchers. Holding different skills and coming from different backgrounds, they will work on interrelated projects so to propose an innovative research approach which outbreaks traditional methods by connecting several disciplines and adding intersectoral and technological contribution. Cooperation between international partners from central-north and south European countries will allow to share scientific approaches and sensibilities towards cultural heritage which spring from different local stories, locations, and research traditions. This will stimulate research environment and contribute to develop sustainable and knowledge-grounded models of preservation/enhancement of the ancient heritage, to be shared among scientists, policy makers, and the wider public. This exercise of interactive and interconnected research will provide a key steppingstone in the appropriation and preservation of theatrical heritage by current societies, driven by knowledge produced by young researchers in the ERA.

Multiphase flow (MF) is the simultaneous flow of materials with two or more thermodynamic phases. MF occurs in numerous settings: bioengineering, conventional and nuclear power plants, oil and gas production and transport, pharmaceutical industry, combustion engines, chemical industry, flows inside the human body, biological industry, and process technology, to name a few. Researchers use experimental and theoretical techniques to study MF. Experimental techniques are usually restricted to smaller domains or laboratory scales due to very high costs; in addition, experiments in realistic conditions are very difficult to manage. On the other hand, theory usually requires numerical computation, which is very time-consuming for realistic MF problems. The objective of this study is to develop a novel machine learning (ML)-based hidden fluid dynamics approach for MF. This innovative method combines ML and fluid dynamics by means of information accessible from photographs of flow visualizations and governing equations. The developed approach will considerably reduce the cost and time required to analyse MF systems. It will unlock many opportunities to improve the design and efficiency of existing and future MF systems, thus lowering design/operational costs. This will be the first study to develop a ML-based model for MF. The novelty of the proposal is that it will open the opportunity to explore, via a relatively cheap and fast computation method, the vast number of design parameter variations normally needed for the optimisation of MF systems (e.g. efficiency, pressure drop, etc.). This contrasts with expensive and time-consuming experiments and time-inefficient parameter studies involving traditional computational fluid dynamics. The proposal will be carried out in three stages: 1) To develop a ML-based model for MF. 2) To test the model with several benchmark MF problems. 3) To use the model to improve design and reduce cost in an actual practical environment.

Ferroelectric materials have been known, and their fascinating properties exploited for more than 100 years. Still, in recent years, exotic polar textures resembling those found in magnetic materials have been unraveled in nanoscale ferroelectric perovskite oxides, such as flux closure domains, curling polarization, vortices, and the groundbreaking discoveries of polar skyrmions and merons in 2019/2020. Polar textures hold huge promise for novel robust topological electronic devices such as ultra-compact (> Tbit/in2) memories. However, so far, nanoscale polar domains have only been studied on special oxide substrates (e.g. SrTiO3), which precludes practical applications. I propose to take a revolutionary approach to the field of topological polar textures by bringing them to the realm of the Si platform. Not only is this necessary to implement energy-efficient nanodevices, but Si material and advanced CMOS semiconductor technologies offer multiple unexplored ways to engineer mechanical and electrical boundary conditions in ultrathin films and nanostructures of transition metal oxides. With LUCIOLE, I will push the limits in the exploration and future harnessing of emergent states in ferroics with the following objectives: - Create monolithically-integrated topological polar textures on silicon by molecular beam epitaxy and atomic layer deposition of epitaxial and glass-composite nanoscale ferroelectrics using strain, confinement and frustration engineering. - Understand the polar textures created on silicon by combining advanced state-of-the-art correlative microscopies and spectroscopies at the nanoscale, including operando time-resolved methods. - Integrate ferroelectrics at the nanoscale at the front-end- and back-end-of-line of Si chips in sub-500 nm two- and three-terminal devices with tunable stress and study their manipulation under electric field by statistically screening their properties at the wafer scale to unveil potentially rich behavioral patterns.

Flexible electronics have been around for several decades and are the basis for electronic devices in applications that require bending, rolling, folding, and stretching, properties that cannot be fulfilled by conventional electronics. However, their emitted power levels are only in the range of up to 500mW and there is no current flexible technology that can satisfy upcoming needs like conformal antenna for avionic radars and light weight flexible antenna for satellite IoT that require power levels approaching or exceeding 10W. NANOMAT comes to fill in this emerging technological gap through the inauguration of the new domain of “Flexible power RF nanoelectronics”. An innovative heterogeneous technological platform comprising material and fabrication novelties in carbon-based electronics and thermoelectrics, wide band gap semiconductor based MMICs, RF MEMS and acoustic sensors will deliver flexible components and circuits. The concept will be demonstrated through two prototypes of escalating innovation and complexity, starting from a flexible hybrid proof of concept for satellite IoT at Ka-band and climaxing with a fully monolithic flexible power RF transceiver for next generation avionic radars at X-band. The NANOMAT consortium is made up from 12 partners from 9 European countries with a wide geographical spread. Half of the consortium are industrial entities, one a major global player and the rest dynamic upcoming or established SMEs thus it is an industrially driven proposition. It has strong interdisciplinary character from semiconducting material growth to technology and component fabrication and from electromagnetic and multi-scale physics simulation to system engineering and from machine learning to circularity and sustainability. The challenges posed, demand that the consortium works with state-of-the-art characterization methods but also improves them and create new ones when the need arises in this project. Starting TRL 3 and commencing TRL5.

The objective of HiPEAC is to stimulate and reinforce the development of the dynamic European computing ecosystem that supports the digital transformation of Europe. It does so by guiding the future research and innovation of key digital, enabling, and emerging technologies, sectors, and value chains. The longer term goal is to strengthen European leadership in the global data economy and to accelerate and steer the digital and green transitions through human-centred technologies and innovations. This will be achieved via mobilising and connecting European partnerships and stakeholders to be involved in the research, innovation and development of computing and systems technologies. They will provide roadmaps supporting the creation of next-generation computing technologies, infrastructures, and service platforms. The key aim is to support and contribute to rapid technological development, market uptake and digital autonomy for Europe in advanced digital technology (hardware and software) and applications across the whole European digital value chain. HiPEAC will do this by connecting and upscaling existing initiatives and efforts, by involving the key stakeholders, and by improving the conditions for large-scale market deployment. The next-generation computing and systems technologies and applications developed will increase European autonomy in the data economy. This is required to support future hyper-distributed applications and provide new opportunities for further disruptive digital transformation of the economy and society, new business models, economic growth, and job creation. The HiPEAC CSA proposal directly addresses the research, innovation, and development of next generation computing and systems technologies and applications. The overall goal is to support the European value chains and value networks in computing and systems technologies across the computing continuum from cloud to edge computing to the Internet of Things (IoT).

Reading is the single most transferable skill taught in the elementary school years; it is the foundation for academic learning, economic contribution, and societal participation. Decades of research shows that efficient reading relies on precise mental spelling representations of individual words. These orthographic representations enable children to recognize words by sight, releasing cognitive resources for understanding what they read. Orthographic Learning (OL) is widely considered the mechanism through which readers build orthographic representations and develop efficient reading. And yet its foundational skills have not been established, a gap in knowledge that severely limits our ability to teach children the skills they need to achieve efficient reading. LEXIS will identify the foundational skills of OL and, in turn, efficient reading, so that we can develop effective instruction. LEXIS is a large-scale cross-language longitudinal study, following children from preschool through grade 2. Through LEXIS, I will establish the foundational skills of OL for both typical and dyslexic readers; results for typical readers can be applied to whole classrooms and results for children with dyslexia will be the basis for effective teaching for children with the most intractable reading difficulties. I will conduct this study with two distinctive languages: English and Greek; their similarities and differences will ensure that results can be applied across the diversity of European languages. LEXIS takes an interdisciplinary approach, bringing together educational psychology, special education, and psycholinguistics. Data will be analysed with cutting-edge statistical and computational modeling approaches. Through LEXIS, I will identify which foundational skills most strongly predict OL and word reading development. These identified skills will guide the foci of effective instruction, ensuring that all children achieve the strongest possible reading outcomes.

The SUPCAP project aims to develop a new 2D heterostructure electrode material that embeds metal phosphides between graphene oxide sheets for enhanced energy storage applications. This method will address the difficulty of developing conductive, high-capacitive, and stable charge storage materials by combining battery-type and capacitive materials in a layered configuration. We will use a "Nano-to-Nano" approach to make all-solid-state symmetric devices using electrophoretic and electrochemical deposition (EPD/ECD) techniques. This will eliminate the need for binders, making the process cheaper and more useful in industry. The research will use in-situ Raman spectroscopy to monitor electrode structural changes in real time throughout charge and discharge cycles. Furthermore, scanning electrochemical microscopy (SECM) will allow for localized deposition of 2D materials by varying local pH and ionic strength. Our goal is to reach a specific capacity of more than 1000 mAhg-1 and a power density of more than 100 kWkg-1. We intend to employ these materials to create 3D-printed micro-supercapacitors for wearable devices, biomedical applications, and airplane backup power systems. This work aims to significantly advance flexible energy storage technology by integrating synthesis, density functional theory (DFT) analysis, and deposition technique optimization to bridge the gap between batteries and supercapacitors.

Focal epilepsy is a chronic neurological disorder characterized by repeated spontaneous seizures that originate from one or several confined regions. After onset, these seizures often propagate towards networks of regions spread across the brain, negatively affecting whole-brain dynamics and cognitive functioning in these patients. Despite evidence advocating the involvement of subcortical areas in seizure organisation in some patients, the exact mechanisms are still poorly understood. Therefore, I anticipate that multimodal, high resolution characterization of the subcortex using 7 Tesla MRI data provides an important, missing link to enhance our understanding of changes within, and differences between focal epilepsy patients. I will explore this in three aims that focus on network integrity, tissue integrity and disease heterogeneity. Successful completion of the objectives is maximized by a two-way transfer of knowledge by combining my proficiency in quantitative brain mapping and computational neuroimaging with the host’s expertise related to brain network analyses in epilepsy. Together these techniques provide a platform for ‘SUbCortical Characterization to Enhance Epilepsy Differentiation’ (SUCCEED) and will advance the development of non-invasive subcortical biomarkers towards personalized diagnosis and treatment of focal epilepsy. Results will be communicated to the scientific and non-scientific public through scientific publications, conference presentations, via Twitter, workshops and open days. With the host lab situated at the forefront of epilepsy research, it will provide the ideal environment to improve my scientific network, and receive the relevant technical and personal training. Together with the innovative and interdisciplinary nature of the project, this will give me the unique opportunity to mature further towards an independent researcher both during and after the fellowship.

Gene therapy and RNA-based therapeutics hold significant promise for treating a range of debilitating disorders. A key challenge for these therapies is the effective targeted delivery, which relies on nanovehicles to ensure the stability of the delicate nucleic acids involved. Biogenic nanoparticles, such as adeno-associated viruses (AAVs), are becoming increasingly promising for these applications, with some AAV-based therapies already receiving regulatory approval. However, maintaining the physicochemical properties essential for the efficacy and safety of these products presents significant challenges, particularly due to their complex manufacturing processes, which often result in a high degree of impurities or perturbations in their structures. Traditional bioseparation methods, such as chromatography, struggle to efficiently isolate these nanoparticles without compromising their quality. To address these issues, this project proposes a novel isolation technique for AAVs using functionalized, programmable liquid-like coacervates formed from zwitterionic polymers. Previous applications on extracellular vesicles demonstrated significant improvements in purity, yield, and processing time compared to conventional methods. The liquid nature of coacervates preserves particle integrity during isolation while their anti-fouling properties enhance specificity in capturing target molecules. This scalable approach integrates the benefits of existing purification methods, offering a gentler, efficient, and simple solution for bioseparation. Building on the success of the Consolidator ERC-funded "VELCROproteins" project, this initiative translates insights obtained from biological condensate research to design coacervates with tunable properties for diverse biotechnological applications, particularly in the healthcare sector. The project aims to establish a new purification processes for crucial nanomaterials, paving the way for advanced therapeutic strategies.
