Air Quality in urban areas and other hot spots, where transport emissions induce a large impact on human exposure remains an environmental problem of high complexity with strong public interest. Despite the significant improvements achieved, adverse health effects are found to be of high concern. There is strong evidence that, despite strict emission standards, “real world” emissions is accepted as term indicating a status of partial success of these measures and technological advances in fossil fuel emission control, while new sources such as non-exhaust emissions and micro plastics are becoming significant. A large level of uncertainty arising from the assessment and mitigation of these sources and especially the internal combustion engines arises from their physicochemical transformation from the tailpipe/stack to the ambient environment. The metrics and parameterization employed on the data analyzed from the environmental monitoring networks and measurement systems are poorly representing the material initially emitted by the specifications of these engines certified by the manufacturers and the control legislation. It is therefore difficult to link the health and other environmental effects to specific sources or modes of transport with few exceptions. Human exposure, dosimetry and burden of disease modelling will be assessed. The output will be linked to epidemiological studies across Europe and a specific epidemiological product of the extracted impact due to transport will be sought. THE PROJECT will provide innovative means in terms of monitoring devices and schemes of data analysis and management and a network of monitoring stations close to Transport emission hots, in order to remedy the traceability of the emitted pollutants from transport sources to the atmosphere and the assessment of applied legislation and control measures through a mitigating solution Toolbox

Proton accelerators are in significant demand due to their widespread societal applications, for instance clinical cancer therapy, as the protons target deep-seated tumours with negligible damage to the surrounding healthy tissues. High capital and operational costs associated with the conventional accelerators make proton therapy poorly accessible, which has triggered interest in search for affordable alternatives. In this context, proton acceleration employing high power lasers has recently emerged as a promising alternative to the conventional techniques. In addition to their compactness and cost effectiveness, the laser-driven sources deliver high doses in an extremely short-time period (one billionth of the second), offering a unique prospect for radiobiological studies. The key challenge, however, is to overcome broad energy spread and large divergence of the laser-driven proton beams. This project aims to control these shortcomings by employing a novel target arrangement at PW class laser, which can effectively tailor the spatial and spectral profile of the beam at the source, importantly at high repetition rate (1 Hz). Transporting the beams to large distances away from the laser interaction region will be demonstrated by using a system of magnets, as a step towards building dedicated beamlines for multidisciplinary applications. The high-quality proton beams with energies required for therapeutic applications ( > 50MeV) will be deployed, for the first time, in in-vitro radiobiological studies on cancer breast cells at dose rate of ~ 100 Gy/min. The timeliness of the project is underpinned by the on-going developments of high-power laser facilities globally, e.g. the pillars of the pan-European Extreme Light Infrastructure, EPAC (UK), and ZEUS (USA). Notably, this cutting edge research would reinforce Europe's leading role in the development of 'all-optical' accelerators and and position me at the forefront of this emerging field.

Human tissue-macrophages demonstrate diverse functions and distinct transcriptomic profiles across organs. They are imprinted by the local tissue environment and contribute to the tissue development, homeostasis, and regeneration. The embryonic macrophages begin to infiltrate the human lung as early as seven post conception weeks (pcw). However, the mechanisms that govern lung macrophage specification and their contribution to human lung development remain poorly understood. This project aims to dissect the cell-intrinsic gene regulatory networks (GRNs), spatial distribution patterns, and signaling pathways regulating the interactions of macrophages and the human developing lung (7–22 pcw). These aims will be achieved by combining single-cell multiomic analysis, high-resolution microscopy, and signaling perturbation using novel 3D tissue models. First, this project will determine the GRNs controlling the identity of fetal lung macrophages by employing multiomic analysis tools. Second, the spatial-temporal maps of macrophages in the fetal lung will be generated using high-resolution light sheet fluorescence microscopy to investigate the distribution patterns and specific cellular niche(s). Lastly, this study will establish novel complex lung tissue models to investigate the underlying mechanisms regulating lung-macrophage interactions. These complementary techniques will expand our knowledge of human tissue macrophage specification and functions, providing insights to the field of both lung and macrophage biology.

Neuromorphic computing will revolutionize artificial intelligence for applications such as autonomous driving, smart diagnosis or natural-language understanding by emulating the operation of efficient biological neural networks. The main challenge in this field is the substitution of conventional transistors for synaptic transistors able to learn in ways similar to a neural synapse, i.e. the development of multistate non-volatile transistors. However, currently existing synaptic transistors have been developed using electrolytes that are by nature unstable and difficult to integrate such as ionic liquids or proton conducting polymers. TRANSIONICS will deliver highly stable (non-volatile), silicon-compatible and scalable solid state synaptic transistors by exploiting the first-ever room temperature oxide-ionic electrolyte developed in the ERC CoG grant (ULTRASOFC) held by the PI. TRANSIONICS transistors are able to modulate its channel properties with external stimulus like real neurons by reducing/oxidizing a mixed ionic-electronic conductor unveiled at ULTRASOFC. Additionally, TRANSIONICS is compatible with mainstream microelectronics fabrication technology, which makes it ideal for developing high density brain-like computer chips. The goals of the TRANSIONICS project are i) to evaluate the technical feasibility for the fabrication of unique all-solid-oxide synaptic transistors with lateral architecture; ii) to assess the silicon- compatibility and scalability of the TRANSIONICS transistors; iii) to define an IPR strategy for technology transfer; iv) to build a value proposition for a startup company and to identify customer segments with industrial partners. To achieve these goals, the PI has joined around the project team that combines applied research, technology transfer and market uptake expertise.

The planetary scale of environmental and climatic complexities, and the anxieties of global crises prompted by threats introduced by the spectre of the Anthropocene have brought scalar imagination at the forefront of historical writings. One of the well-known ironies of the climate crisis is the fact that, despite its planetary and temporal scale, its effects manifest themselves in everyday experiences of seasons and weather. Weathering Colonial Calcutta introduces nuances of material, cultural and political systems into historical examinations of how communities and social groups understood, coordinated and responded to climate and the weather. It presents an urban, material and cultural history of colonial Calcutta as a story of changing ideas about, and everyday experiences of the weather. It aims to reframe histories of Calcutta by examining the place of the weather, seasons and climate in cultural and political expressions, public and domestic spaces, and material culture. The research takes two distinct yet interrelated approaches to writing a history of the social construction of “weather”. The first theme examines the shifts in knowledge of Calcutta’s “weather” (noun) through the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. In this sense, the research offers critical insights into the insistence with which Calcutta’s weather, seasons, and climate forced themselves on scientific and social viewpoints, and modes of cultural activity. Second, the project traces the concept of “weather” as a transitive verb — “to pass through and survive” — and explores the braiding of daily lives and “weathering” practices as embedded in the creation and maintenance of racial, class and social thinking and practices. Overall, the project takes the evocative history of the weather into politics, culture and society, revealing its importance to key themes from science, literature, art, architecture, urban planning, and technologies to race, religion, environment, gender and culture.

This Fellowship will enable me to establish myself as a leading female researcher in indirect translation in modern Japan with expertise in Digital Humanities, and to develop my career by undertaking advanced training, knowledge exchange, dissemination, deepening my expertise. Research training is implemented through the proposed project and in a collaboration with two leading experts. The project investigates the relationship between translators? social statuses and their approaches to producing indirect translations (i.e. translations of translations) in Japan during the Meiji period (1868-1912). The aim of this interdisciplinary project is to lay the ground for a larger collaborative project which I will undertake following this Fellowship. I will spend the preparatory (M1-M3) and return stages (M24-M36) at the School of Languages, Literature and Cultural Studies, Trinity College Dublin (TCD), under the supervision of Dr James Hadley, an expert in Digital Humanities and Japanese Translation. At TCD, I will develop specialist skills in Digital Humanities, mentoring and networking through training, teaching, organising a conference and public engagement which enable me to share my knowledge. During the outgoing stage (M4-M23) I will be hosted by the School of Culture, Media and Society, Waseda University (WUD) Japan, under the supervision of Prof Hirokazu Toeda, a highly established specialist in Modern Japanese Literature. At WUD, I will have full access to extensive archival materials and expert knowledge in Modern Japanese Literary Culture and Gender, which are crucial for this project. I will also collaborate with WUD?s experts in these areas and develop my professional network which I will share at TCD. These facilities and opportunities will greatly assist the development of this project, benefit my personal development as an independent researcher as well as generate collaborative opportunities for future projects for myself and the host institutions.

Unlocking the mysteries surrounding nutrient fate within the human body has remained an enigmatic pursuit. Our organs and tissues crave specific nutrients, especially in physiological and pathological conditions. Yet, the intricate journey these nutrients embark upon within our bodies remains largely unclear. The aim of my ambitious project is thus to create an innovative chemical-spatial workflow capable of (1) providing the anatomical coordinates of nutrients of interest across tissues (and organs) and (2) understanding the biochemical route these nutrients undergo in the respective tissue areas of the target organ. For this, I will use a complementary approach relying on advanced techniques such as tracer metabolomics, mass spectrometry imaging (MSI) and Stimulated Raman spectroscopy (SRS). I will benchmark this technological platform onto a model of acute kidney injury (AKI) to identify and localize the predominant biochemical pathways. The amalgamation of SRS and MSI with tracer metabolomics is groundbreaking given the current technological landscape and provides an innovative and feasible solution to the posed challenge.

A detailed social history of the women from Egypt’s First Intermediate Period (FIP) needs to be added to the growing corpus of women’s historical narratives. This pivotal period of Egyptian history, the late third millennium BCE, witnessed profound transformations to their social and political structures. These dramatic changes arose from political disintegration and the effects of environmental stresses from climate change at the end of the preceding Old Kingdom period (OK). While the FIP has received broad study, dedicated research into the women from this period has yet to be conducted. Historically, FIP women’s data, derived primarily from biographical inscriptions that sometimes detail their involvement in economic, political, or religious roles (titles), have been subsumed into female title studies of the OK period or discussed in conjunction with the women of the following Middle Kingdom (MK) period. Existing scholarship centres on biographies of exceptional women or significant inscriptions, and women’s details appear more generally in wide-ranging compilations of this historical period. Yet, owing to the unique archaeological and epigraphical evidence of the FIP, it offers the opportunity to examine a broader cross-section of the female population, including levels of society previously absent in other periods. For the first time, the women of the FIP and their agencies will be analysed via a theoretical framework that analyses social power based on the women’s roles and their access to/control over economic, symbolic, and/or political resources. Thus, the objective of this project, The Impact of Political and Climate Change on Women’s Agency: A Social Power Analysis (IPOCCWWA), is to produce a quantitative and qualitative account of the women of the FIP independent from other chronological periods that examines their agency within their distinct historical context and deliver their overdue social history.

This project focuses on integrating floating offshore wind turbines (FOWT) with wave energy converters (WEC) to simultaneously harness offshore wind and wave energy. The specific objectives are: (1) to gain an understanding of the interactions between the FOWT, WEC, and surrounding flow fields, and to explore the nonlinear vibrations of the FOWT-WEC system; (2) to thoroughly assess the serviceability and safety performances of the FOWT-WEC system under both operational and extreme conditions; and (3) to develop innovative vibration control techniques aimed at effectively reducing responses of the FOWT-WEC system. To achieve these objectives, a multi-body model will be developed and integrated with aerodynamics, hydrodynamics, and structural dynamics computational modules to simulate the coupled dynamics of the FOWT-WEC system. Optimal designs for the WECs in terms of numbers, shapes, and configurations will be conducted to maximize energy generation and reduce wave loads, with a thorough evaluation of the system’s serviceability and safety. Given the space constraints and changes in structural dynamic characteristics, a novel pendulum inerter-based nonlinear energy sink will be designed to mitigate excessive vibrations within the FOWT-WEC system. The project will also incorporate comprehensive outreach and educational initiatives, including tutorials in STEM courses, engaging graduate and undergraduate students in research, and offering seminars and webinars to stakeholders. The research outcomes will contribute significantly to the creation of a new integrated wind and wave energy harvesting paradigm with the consequent reduction of energy costs on both national and global levels. This fellowship will provide substantial support in achieving the researcher’s future academic and professional goals.
