A major challenge of the regulatory governance scholarship is to develop effective measures for capturing the content of regulation. In European Union (EU) studies, the lack of content-based measures of regulation impedes the ability to analyze regulatory designs across diverse policy areas; explain whether regulatory design choices are driven by euroscepticism, institutional, or sectorial factors; and investigate how configurations of regulatory design elements affect transposition dynamics. Addressing these challenges, EUREG’s main objective is to analyze and explain the variation of regulatory designs across EU policy areas and investigate their transposition through a content-based analysis of EU rules. Leveraging on my experience in computational text analysis along with scientific and transferable skills training, I introduce a new unit of analysis of regulation, the regulative statement, and analyze four content elements of regulatory design: actors, stringency, aims, and issues. This approach is applied to analyzing EU regulatory design across 21 policy areas from 1993 to 2023 through computational text analysis, explaining its variation through panel analysis, and investigating the transposition of environmental regulatory design through fuzzy-set qualitative comparative analysis. EUREG’s efforts have scientific, societal, and economic impacts. Scientifically, it introduces a unique measure of regulation and advances original theoretical arguments about the origins and effects of EU regulatory design. Societally and economically, it simplifies EU rules and improves the assessment of EU regulatory burden, aligning with the core missions of the European Commission’s Better Regulation Agenda. The facilities and mentorship provided by the host institution (LMU; Prof. Christoph Knill) and the secondment institution (UAntwerpen; Prof. Koen Verhoest) will contribute to achieving EUREG's objectives and fostering my development as an independent researcher.

Cardiovascular diseases (CVD) are the leading cause of death globally, taking 18.6M lives/yr. Most CVD are associated with blockage ofblood vessels. grafts play a vital role, replacing/bypassing these vessels, but have failure rates up to 50% due to thrombosis or infection. Vascular grafts of the future would ideally sense and monitor its performance, and telemetrically emit data/alerts to healthcare system so that medical actions can be performed to avoid graft failure. IoMTs has taken its first steps, but is still far from full potential/development, especially in implantable systems which are limited by the use of batteries to power them. The BLOOD2POWER project AIMS to contribute to this paradigm shift by proposing the development of a NEW WAY TO HARVEST ENERGY FROM THE BODY, and using it to create the next generation vascular grafts: the iGraft.To achieve this PIONEER technology, new triboelectric nanogenerators (TENG) will be developed, converting mechanical energy from the body into electrical energy. A miniaturized ultra-low energy consumption power management unit will be developed and coupled to the vascular graft together with a wireless system, allowing to store generated energy, and collect and wirelessly transmit TENG outputs to an external electronic device (e.g. smartphone/watch). These systems will be validated in vitro and in vivo. Driven by these challenges, this international team led by a young researcher gathers renown institutions and researchers with unique and complementary backgrounds in biomaterials, energy harvesting, electronics and medicine.

For ten thousand years, the world was divided in two. Almost all human societies belonged to either the Old or the New Worlds. Amid this consummate isolation, the two worlds followed their own cultural and ecological trajectories. The loop was finally closed when the Norse arrived in the Americas in 1021 CE. However, the story of this closure ironically remains one of the most significant gaps in our knowledge of the past. This project addresses the timing, duration, geographical extent and lasting significance of this period of first contact. Using the newly developed tools of spike radiocarbon dating and ancient DNA provenancing, current understanding of the Norse transatlantic expansion will be both tested and extended. Data of unprecedented precision will cast the history of Greenland into sharp relief, allowing fresh insights to be gained on the role of conflict, climate and trade in the ultimate abandonment of the colony. Furthermore, by analysing artefacts on either side of the Atlantic, the true extent and temporality of the Norse presence in the New World will be unveiled. Drawing all the new evidence together, CONTACT will be able to trace the story of the period as it has oscillated down the centuries between fact and fiction. In so doing, it will establish a framework for reanalysing the earliest connections between the Old and the New Worlds.

The remarkable increase of plastic production in recent decades poses many harmful impacts on the environment and people’s health. CYCLER aims to build up a fundamental understanding of the chemistry involved in chemical recycling processes of solid plastic waste (SPW) by: 1) developing robust theoretical protocols for solution/melted phase determination of chemistry models parameters (i.e. kinetic rate constants of elementary reaction, thermodynamic and transport properties) and by 2) developing a priori semi-detailed chemical kinetic model for different polymers representative of SPW streams. Ultimately this project, by providing high-accuracy kinetic models, supports the industrial-scale implementation of thermochemical conversion technologies towards a circular approach to SPW management. To achieve the goals, CYCLER will exploit the combination of various approaches including the quantum chemical, molecular dynamics and metadynamics methods. The calculation will be performed for pure plastic polymers typically found in SPW streams (i.e. polyethylene, poly methyl methacrylate, polyamide and polystyrene) so as to cover a large set of chemical functionalities. Detailed information on the chemical reactivity, the possible reaction pathways, and knowledge of the free energy hypersurface will be assessed to derive systematic structure/reactivity relationships. CYCLER drives a step-change advance in the state of art of solution phase computational chemistry, applied chemical kinetics and chemical reaction engineering by proposing a novel theoretical kinetic framework that, coupled with semi-detailed chemistry models, allow fundamental chemical understanding and thus optimization of process conditions at the industrial level. The advanced knowledge in the chemical recycling of SPW, academic networks, and the transferable skills acquired from the MSCA PF will enormously support me in fulfilling my career goal, to be an independent researcher.

This project’s overarching theme is how penal authorities conceal the prisoners’ poor health with malicious intent for various reasons and by various techniques, statistical and rhetorical. From this angle, the project examines British metropolitan, Indian colonial, American, and Soviet-Russian prisons and camps from the late modern era – the birth of the Western penitentiary - to the present moment. Within this ambitious temporal and spatial frame, the project poses "big questions" about the universal operational patterns of modern penality and bureaucracy, as observed via managing prisoners’ health and epidemics. The project seeks to understand why and when prisoner health statistics became significant enough to be manipulated for political purposes. Conceptually, the project engages with the contentious issue of deliberate extermination of prisoners concealed by medical malfeasance. The outcome will be the first comparative, integrated history of bureaucratic malpractices to occasionally downplay the accurate scale of sickness, epidemics, and mortality in custodial institutions of Western liberal and authoritarian regimes. The interdisciplinary research effort, while historical, combines insights from medical statistics, penology, criminology, penal sociology, and bioethics. The ambition behind the project’s goals is to revise the traditional way literature classifies penal systems globally. This revision is achieved by shifting attention to health and its reporting as a defining feature that separates various carceral regimes from each other. The project will generate a new typology of penal systems based on the criterion of health reporting and its veracity. Beyond the strictly academic contribution to the debates on penality, modernity, technocratic social engineering, legacies of colonial violence, and total institutions, the project has implications for international prison reform and palliative care ethics.

REDRESS aims to provide a key contribution to the EU commitments towards restoring degraded ecosystems, especially in the deep sea. REDRESS will provide solutions to prioritize future restoration actions, extend deep-sea restoration to previously neglected habitat types, and demonstrate the feasibility, potential, and value for success of deep-sea ecosystem restoration. The project will focus on habitats that have great potential to contribute to carbon sequestration and climate mitigation but have been degraded by deep-sea fishing, especially trawling. Specifically, we will study vulnerable marine ecosystems, including sea pens and bamboo corals on soft sediments, coral gardens, cold-water coral reefs, sponge fields, and cold seeps. REDRESS will map degraded deep-sea habitats and identify habitat refugia to prioritize restoration efforts that will adapt to future scenarios of climate change. To adopt and adapt cutting-edge solutions for both restoration interventions and monitoring, REDRESS will make a significant technological investment and will benefit from a relevant ship time by in-kind contribution (136 days). REDRESS will offer nature-based solutions to public authorities and operators to advance ecosystem restoration in the deep sea. Building on the MERCES experience, REDRESS will go beyond the state of art, either developing new methodologies, using sophisticated technologies, defining success indicators, and expanding the target habitats also to cold seeps. The results will enable a significant advancement in the EU's marine restoration strategy. The project will also provide socio-economic data, protocols, and tools to plan, and upscale restoration interventions in deep-sea habitats. REDRESS will provide novel insights into the advantages and limits of active vs passive deep-sea restoration, and related cost-benefit analysis in different deep-sea habitats supporting policies and decision makers in the future application of the Nature Restoration Law.

Cryptography is the foundation of modern communication: privacy, critical infrastructure, and the digitization of industry, economy, and healthcare depend on it. The transition to post-quantum cryptography (PQC) introduces both opportunities and challenges. Advancements in the design of post-quantum primitives have been significant, their concrete deployment in protocols remains challenged by real-world implementation constraints, security concerns, and interoperability challenges. This project builds on the ERC-funded REWOCRYPT project, which focused on bridging the gap between theoretical cryptographic security analysis and real-world applications. To extend these findings into practice, this PoC project focuses on protocol-level hybridization, leveraging the Rosenpass protocol as a research platform. Unlike traditional approaches that integrate PQC at the primitive level, protocol-level hybridization may provide post-quantum security without requiring extensive modifications to widely deployed cryptographic systems. The project will develop, analyze, and implement secure cryptographic combiners that allow for the integration of PQ and classical protocols. A key objective is to evaluate whether hybrid security guarantees hold in real-world deployment scenarios and whether protocol combiners provide an effective approach for a smooth post-quantum transition. The research will include a formal security analysis, practical implementation, and testing within the Rosenpass-WireGuard ecosystem. We will assess security properties under both classical and quantum adversarial models, ensuring cryptographic agility to be able to address future algorithmic improvements or attacks. Beyond technical innovation, this PoC aligns with European cybersecurity and digital sovereignty goals. Open-source implementation and collaboration with the non-profit organization Rosenpass e.V. ensure rapid practical impact, while casting a foundation for future research and standardization.

The EU-INTERCHANGE project aims to create a Digital Ocean Twin encompassing wave, ocean, biogeochemistry, and nearshore models to evaluate Climate Change impacts across Europe and the Pan-Arctic region. Customized models will be developed to assess mitigation and adaptation strategies, focusing on coastal resilience, impacts of Sea Level Rise, and Blue Economy sectors such as aquaculture and marine renewables. Indicators for marine ecosystem health, blue growth, coastal resilience and societal impacts of Climate Change will be formulated, and used in unique fully automated tools. A large ensemble database spanning from 1995 to 2100, including emission scenarios SSP1 (2.6°C) and SSP2 (4.5°C) using CMIP6 data, will be developed, optimized per European Basin and scale, for all European Seas and the Arctic region. A transparent fully open-source automated service for statistical analysis and reporting will be released to aid decision-making for various stakeholders and applications like coastal protection, marine renewables, food, and tourism. Furthermore, an automated dynamic and statistical downscaling tool will be developed, requiring minimal user expertise but offering the potential for higher fidelity data (<500m), for coastal areas that require further analysis. The novel datasets, both hindcast and forecasts, will seamlessly integrate into COPERNICUS and be openly accessible along with model configurations, fostering collaborative research and informed decision-making regarding Climate Change impacts on marine environments.

Early mobilisation in the ICU is a highly effective tool in patient rehabilitation, clinically proven and acknowledged by major international medical bodies. Despite the clear financial advantages for healthcare systems and health benefits for patients, it is currently performed with only 25% of ICU patients due to lack of resources and hazardous nature of the manual procedure. Reactive Robotics has developed VEMOTION, the world’s first AI-driven robotic assistance system for early mobilisation in ICUs. VEMOTION enables the clinically proven benefits of early mobilisation to be delivered safely to all ICU patients, accelerating recovery by 20%, reducing treatment costs, increasing ICU capacity by 27%, and improving patient outcomes. Introduction creates a >€5bn market for ICU robotics. The EIC project (€2.5M grant, €15M equity) delivers crucial product development and large-scale clinical trials to validate the clinical/business case and accelerate scale-up.

In-flight icing is a dangerous phenomenon that poses significant risks to aircraft safety, resulting from the accumulation of ice on surfaces due to supercooled water droplets. This ice formation can lead to reduced visibility, engine power loss, blocked probes and vents, and adverse effects on aerodynamics. Current methods for assessing icing scenarios rely heavily on costly wind tunnel and flight tests highlighting the urgent need for validated simulation tools. The existing reliance on experimental measurements as the sole "ground truth" in the validation process often leads to biased model assessments, compounding uncertainties that can adversely affect statistical reliability. This action aims to revolutionize the validation process of numerical simulations for in-flight icing by directly addressing these uncertainties and biases. I propose a novel statistical validation framework that incorporates uncertainties at every stage of analysis, enabling a clearer identification of physical model gaps. The proposed methodology encourages a dynamic and continuous exchange between experimental data and numerical models, allowing for mutual refinement. The research objectives include: (1) Characterizing uncertainties in experimental data related to ice accretion through focused campaigns, leading to reliable datasets; (2) Developing robust statistical metrics that comprehensively capture the variability inherent in both computational predictions and experimental outcomes; and (3) Benchmarking the application of these methodologies to evaluate existing ice accretion models. This innovative approach promises to bridge the gap between experiments and simulations, providing reliable tools for aerospace design and certification. If successful, this work will establish a new standard in certification by analysis, reshaping future validation practices in complex multi-physics applications such as combustion, heat transfer, and fluid-structure interactions.
