The specific focus of iHELP is on early identification and mitigation of the risks associated with Pancreatic Cancer based on the application of advance AI-based learning and decision support techniques on the historic (primary) data of Cancer patients gathered from established data banks and cohorts. This analysis helps to (i) determine key risks associated with Pancreatic Cancer, (ii) develop predictive models for identified risks, and (iii) develop adaptive models for targeted prevention and intervention measures. Based on these developments, the project selects high-risk individuals that are invited to take part in the pilot activities or digital trials. The digital trials are carried out through user-centric mobile and wearable applications that apply proven usability principles to offer more awareness, more engaging experience for health monitoring, risk assessment and personalised decision support. Close collaboration between clinical and AI experts focus on drawing decision support against identified/predicted risks and providing personalised recommendations (e.g. lifestyle changes, behavioural nudges, screening test etc) to the participants in the digital trials. The iHELP (mobile and wearable) technology solutions help in validating iHELP solutions and raising health related awareness at individual level. The (secondary) data gathered through the mobile and wearable applications (concerning life style, behavioural, social interactions and response to targeted prevention and intervention measures) is integrated with primary data in the standardised HHR format – within a big data platform. Frugal AI-based learning techniques are developed to provide near real-time risk assessment based on the integrated and standardised HHR data. iHELP solutions are targeted at multiple stakeholders, including policymakers that will get decision support on the design of new screening programs and new guidelines for bringing improvements in clinical and lifestyle aspects.

Advanced aRchitectures for ultra-thin high-efficiency CIGS solar cells with high Manufacturability (ARCIGS-M) This project´s goal is advanced materials and nanotechnologies for novel CIGS PV device architectures with efficiencies ≥ 23.0 %, thus beyond that of the current state-of-the-art technologies. The technology targets the BIPV sector and enables several innovative solutions for BIPV. The novel functional materials and material combinations are (1) surface functionalized steel substrates, (2) nano-structuring strategies for optical management of rear contact layers, (3) passivation layers with nano-sized point openings, and (4) ultra-thin CIGS thin film absorber layers. The concepts will be developed and established in production viable equipment. Additionally, this new design will also increase the system’s lifetime and materials resource efficiency, mainly due to the use of ultra-thin CIGS layers (less In and Ga), and barrier and passivation layers that hinder alkali metal movement. Hence, this project will lead to enhanced performance, but also yield and stability, while maintaining manufacturability. The consortium includes SME’s and industrial partners positioned throughout the complete solar module manufacturing value chain. Their roles will be to develop and commercialize new equipment, products and/or services. The consortium already pioneered the proposed advanced material solutions up to technology readiness level (TRL) 4, and this project targets to bring these innovative concepts to TRL 6 in a low-cost demonstrator. The aim is to develop and validate innovative, economic and sustainable BIPV applications, as a near future high value market for the European PV industries. An exploitation strategy, developed with the support of TTO (www.tto.dk), identifying BIPV as the most promising market has been used to validate the choice of technologies and will be further developed during the course of the project.

The quantum entanglement (QE) of macroscopic mechanical oscillators is a unique resource to examine fundamental principles of quantum mechanics at the interface with classical physics.The emerging field of quantum optomechanics is meant to be a benchmark to study quantum phenomena on a macroscale. This Project is aimed to generate and study QE between center-of-mass motion of 2 macroscopic mechanical oscillators –optically levitated particles – a cutting-edge experimental platform offering outstanding control over particles motion, potential landscape and reservoirs. Importantly both particles will be charged to generate long range QE via Coulomb interaction. This study of electromagnetically induced QE is essential to examine consistency of macroscopic systems to basic principles of quantum mechanics. Going in complete parallel to a linear theory of quantum gravity it facilitates our understanding of quantization and vacuum fluctuations of a gravitational field and paves the way for quantum gravitational table-top experiments. The physical system under investigation is a general testbed for experiments at the interface of thermodynamics, information theory & quantum physics, with applications in quantum information technologies, sensing & metrology. This study is timely and highly relevant to the current EU research trends, it goes in line with prioritised research directions of H2020-EU123 programme following 2 out of 5 selected areas: Quantum metrology & sensing and Fundamental quantum science. This Project will be implemented in the group of Prof Aspelmeyer who are leading experts in quantum optomechanics. My background in light-matter interaction and open quantum systems perfectly fits the host group expertise in quantum control and their state-of-the-art facilities. This Fellowship will greatly improve my leadership skills, strongly diversify my knowledge, establish new academic links and boost my track record that would have a significant impact on my career.

Mostly motivated by, but not restricted to the comprehensive analysis and understanding of biological phenomena with potential medical implications, structural biology gives access to the atomic details of macromolecules, allowing to decipher their biological functions. Using state-of-the-art developments coupled to third-generation x-ray synchrotron sources, macromolecular x-ray crystallography (MX) stands as the primary method for determining the structures of proteins, alone or in complex with partner ligands. The major bottleneck of MX lies in the requirement to obtain crystals of reasonable sizes that can easily by handled and readily give rise to interpretable diffraction patterns. Prior to x-ray diffraction studies, crystal production pipelines involve the characterisation, purification and handling of samples in large quantities through multi-step, complicated, time-consuming and costly procedures. The identification of protein crystals naturally occurring inside cells and organisms as diverse as bacteria, protists, fungi, plants, fishes, amphibians, insects and mammals has opened a window for a new type of MX and structural biology. Recently, the emergence of the in vivo crystallography (ivMX) approach took advantage in the developments of new intense coherent x-ray sources that allow collecting diffraction patterns from sub-micron crystals, targets so far unreachable at other x-ray sources. This proposal intends to get further insights into the yet uncontrollable events dictating in vivo crystal growth, by structure determination and analysis of readily available ivMX systems. While deciphering these phenomena and applying them to external proteins recombinantly expressed in hosts where in vivo crystal growth could be identified, a small platform for ivMX will be initiated, with the aim of reducing the tedious and costly sample preparation steps currently used in MX.

This project aims to develop a sustainable, environmentally friendly, flexible, Hybrid Sodium Ion Capacitor to support the rapid development of flexible/wearable electronics and sodium ion energy storage technology. This will be achieved by integrating a flexible hard carbon battery-style anode (higher energy density) and a flexible porous carbon supercapacitor style cathode (higher power density), electrospun from renewable lignin, into one energy storage device. As a result, this device will deliver higher energy density than flexible supercapacitors, while maintaining high cyclability and power density.These electrodes will be produced under the guidence of Prof. Titirici, a world-renowned expert in sustainable carbon materials/energy storage. The choice of sodium in this project over lithium is for the following reasons: (i) Na is more abundant and more evenly globally distributed on land (salt, sodium carbonate, and sodium hydroxide) and in salt water, (ii) Al current collectors can be used, instead of Cu in Li, representing a considerable cost saving, and (iii) metal plating of the carbon electrodes occurs less in Na, suggesting that cyclability will be greater with Na than Li. Finally, the fundamentals (solid interface layer, cathodic interlayer) in using Na ions for hybrid capacitors will be examined extensively using laboratory based techniques (XPS and SEM) and synchrotron methods (NEXAFS/XANES). Understanding the formation of this layer is vital to producing flexible hybrid ion capacitors, as it's formation is one of the leading causes of reduced Coulombic efficiency in batteries resulting in premature failure and poor capacity retention.

A fascinating tension exists between computer vision and computer graphics. Decades of research efforts have led to the ability of graphics algorithms to simulate the world to a degree often indistinguishable from reality -- given an accurate enough model of scene geometry and appearance. Similarly, decades of ingenuity have given computer vision techniques the already, at times, superhuman capability of detecting, recognizing, and predicting objects, actions, and identities from pictures or video. Vision and graphics meet at a common point of pain: the model of scene geometry and appearance. To yield photorealistic results, graphics algorithms require an essentially perfect forward model. Yet, the capability of computer vision algorithms to robustly and accurately reason about the 3D shape and appearance of the world, unfortunately, greatly lags behind the capabilities to detect, recognize, segment, and so on. A great discrepancy exists between the semantic and the pixel-perfect, accurate shape and appearance. Bridging this chasm is the goal of this research. This entails solving fundamental, long-standing, unsolved problems in computer vision through the aid of computer graphics and machine learning}. First, we seek to simultaneously capture accurate 3D shape and appearance of complex real-world scenes from photographic inputs; second, we seek to extend these capabilities still further to``zero-shot'' generative modelling. These extremely ambitious goals will be reached by marrying simulation (rendering) and machine learning, building on the PI's three existing strengths: (1) ability to capture photorealistic material appearance models using commodity devices; (2) his leading standing in physically-based image synthesis; and (3) his results on generative modeling of photorealistic images through deep convolutional neural networks.

MAGIC Post Stroke Project Team has united members from across Europe, dedicated to enable significant change in the delivery of health & social care (H&SC) services for patients post stroke. The consortium has recognised a significant gap in care associated with the recovery of such patients & we need a new way of meeting the needs of 508,000 new post stroke EU citizens/ year. Demographic changes are such that H&SC systems are failing to keep pace with demand & are not fit for purpose. By working in new ways & by reengineering systems with novel innovative technology & solutions we can think differently about our approach to care & improve the well-being for our patients; optimising the opportunity for recovery post stroke. Presently 1/3rd of all stroke patients are discharged from hospital with a significant change to life style, well-being, health status & independence. Community H&SC services do not enable patients to make a sufficient recovery post stroke. A search of state of the art technologies indicated much progress in the development of technologies to assist patients but no system is available to significantly affect rehabilitative improvement to scale; with no solution integration with H&SC services. Therefore, Public Procurers cannot go to open tender to deploy effective technology to solve system failures. The MAGIC Consortium recognised Pre-Commercial Procurement (PCP) as the only way to stimulate the market to find a solution to our common problem. MAGIC is an essential & strategically critical programme for the Team to optimise a patient’s recovery, to modernise H&SC systems to meet demand & to stimulate research, development & innovation. MAGIC will also stimulate European industry to become a global leader in this innovative field. Use of PCP is of particular interest to the consortium members & is new for many. Therefore, observer states will participate to contribute to the Pan-European improvement in care and to proactively share PCP knowledge.
