Emotions drive our behaviours and help us navigate our physical and social worlds. While a broad range of distinct emotions have recently received attention in studies among adults, comparable research among young children remains scarce. We thus know next to nothing about when, how, and why emotions such as awe, excitement, and envy emerge in early development, limiting our understanding of how emotions motivate and guide young children’s everyday behaviour. This pioneering interdisciplinary research program on the emergence of distinct emotions in early development aims to systematically study 12 distinct emotions—interest, excitement, awe, feeling moved, schadenfreude, elevation, confusion, worry, disappointment, envy, resentment, and indignation—in children from nine months to five years. The central premises are that (1) we need to study different components of emotions: their elicitors, nonverbal expressions, physiological reactions, and effects on subsequent behaviours, as well as prerequisites and individual and social mechanisms of development; and (2) this research should be conducted in naturalistic contexts. Integrating qualitative approaches with ethological, experimental, longitudinal, and cross-cultural designs, I will empirically investigate when, how, and why distinct emotions emerge in early development. The first objective is to observe different components of emotions as they naturally occur in everyday life across cultures. The second objective is to experimentally examine the causes and consequences of the 12 emotions. The third objective is to map the timing, (socio-)cognitive prerequisites, and the individual and social mechanisms that give rise to these emotions. The overall ambition is to advance the first integrative and empirically grounded account of the emergence of distinct emotions in human development. This will revolutionize our understanding of the nature of emotion and the motivations behind young children’s behaviour.

The main goal is to design an Extreme near-data platform to enable consumption, mining and processing of dis- tributed and federated data without needing to master the logistics of data access across heterogeneous data locations and pools. We go beyond traditional passive or bulk data ingested from storage systems towards next generation near-data processing platforms both in the Cloud and in the Edge. In our platform, Extreme Data in- cludes both metadata and trustworthy data connectors enabling advanced data management operations like data discovery, mining, and filtering from heterogeneous data sources. The three core objectives are: O-1 Provide high-performance near-data processing for Extreme Data Types: The first objective is to create a novel intermediary data service (XtremeDataHub) providing serverless data connectors that optimize data management operations (partitioning, filtering, transformation, aggregation) and interactive queries (search, discovery, matching, multi-object queries) to efficiently present data to analytics platforms. Our data connectors facilitate a elas- tic data-driven process-then-compute paradigm which significantly reduces data communication on the data interconnect, ultimately resulting in higher overall data throughput. O-2 Support real-time video streams but also event streams that must be ingested and processed very fast to Object Storage: The second objective is to seamlessly combine streaming and batch data processing for analytics. To this end, we will develop stream data connectors deployed as stream operators offering very fast stateful computations over low-latency event and video streams. O-3 The third objective is to create a Data Broker service enabling trustworthy data sharing and confidential orchestration of data pipelines across the Compute Continuum. We will provide secure data orchestration, transfer, processing and access thanks to Trusted Execution Environments (TEEs) and federated learning architectures.

FinX is a French start-up revolutionizing marine propulsion by developing an undulating membrane for boat engines, imitating the wave motion of marine animals. This new propulsion, which replaces the propeller with an undulating membrane, is made in France, efficient, electric and totally safe. FinX has developed this innovative system for boats in the nautical sector, rivers, lakes, and for professional boats in harbours in particular. The idea stems from the fact that nature has developed highly efficient nautical propulsion ways through tail fins, allowing for instance swordfish to reach peaks up to 110km/h in water. Yet, we have used propellers for more than 150 years. They are dangerous (every year sees accidents), are prone to entanglements with algae, nets, debris in urban environments and in harbours, and are less efficient than tail fins. The FinS is FinX first outboard motor, without propeller, 100% electric and safe, 2kW (equivalent to a 4 HP combustion engine). The FinE is the second engine, under development. Rated at 150hp (110kW), it uses the same undulating membrane technology. FinX propulsion represents key advantages: - It is safe. Even though the membrane moves at high speed, there is no risk of injury from touching it. - It is green. Propelled by electricity, the FinS engine has been proven to be 10% more efficient than propellers. The FinE (150 horsepower - 110kW) is expected to reach a similar target. This allows for any boat in protected environments like national parks since as of today, only thermal engines are available for high powers, preventing these boats to go to environments national parks. - It is convenient. One of the key pain points of propellers is entanglements with debris and in rivers lake with nets and fishing lines (causing, engine degradation and accidents to disentangle them). The engine cannot be entangled. By August 2023, FinX has industrialized its FinS in Normandy and joined the prestigious French Tech 2030.

Spectrins are an integral part of the submembranous cytoskeleton providing both mechanical scaffolding and organization hub for other proteins in metazoan cells. The importance of spectrins to neuronal health is demonstrated by their association with a wide range of human neurological disorders (spectrinopathies). Currently, more than forty mutations in the gene encoding non-erythroid α-spectrin (SPTAN1) are associated with developmental and epileptic encephalopathies, hereditary motor neuropathy (HMN), spastic paraplegia (HSP), and ataxia. The underlying pathomechanisms remain largely unknown. In Drosophila, the highly conserved α-spec homolog similarly plays an important role in the nervous system development, as well as in synapse formation, its function and maintenance. Interestingly, synaptic defects associated with loss of α-spec can be suppressed via neuronal mitochondria repositioning. Conversely, increased levels of α-spec rescue a range of neuronal phenotypes linked to actin-dependent mitochondrial dysfunction in an α-synuclein neurodegeneration Drosophila model. These findings suggest that modulating the levels of α-spec in neurons might have an important and understudied impact on tuning mitochondrial dynamics and preserving neuronal health. Thus, the goal of my MSCA proposal is to deepen our knowledge on how neuronal actin and spectrin cytoskeleton regulate mitochondria and assess mitochondrial dysfunction at the basis of α-spectrinopathies, with a combined use of Drosophila as a model organism, and human iPSC-derived neurons as a platform to translate the findings to human neuronal health and disease. My project will provide insights on whether spectrin-associated mitochondrial dysfunction is a shared or specific feature for HMN, HSP and ataxia-associated spectrin mutants. I will deploy these findings to tailor a pharmacological treatment in the α-spectrinopathy neuronal cellular models and develop a therapeutic strategy.
