MAYA addresses the third intervention outlined in the call by developing, testing, and scaling up innovative, holistic approaches and tools for managing late effects of cancer treatment in AYA cancer (of any type) survivors. MAYA aims to empower Adolescents and Young Adults (AYA) cancer survivors to manage their cardiovascular (CV) health through digital tools that address cardiotoxic-related late effects of cancer treatment. The project envisions using the iCARE health hub, which integrates a smart mirror and an AI-powered conversational agent, to deliver personalised care and continuous monitoring. The ultimate goal is to improve cardiovascular outcomes and overall quality of life for AYA survivors by managing modifiable risk factors such as hypertension, diabetes, and obesity, with an expected reduction in the risk of major cardiac events by 30-40%. MAYA will achieve these objectives through advanced AI-driven data analysis, real-time biomarker tracking, and participatory research methods including social innovation, multistakeholder engagement, and Living Labs. The project will test these solutions in real-world settings through clinical studies involving AYA cancer survivors in multiple European countries. By focusing on personalised interventions and continuous health monitoring, MAYA directly aligns with the objectives of the Horizon Europe work programme, particularly the Cancer Mission's goals of improving long-term health outcomes and quality of life for cancer survivors. Additionally, the project contributes to the work programme’s emphasis on innovation in healthcare and equity across diverse healthcare systems. This action is part of the Cancer Mission cluster of projects on “Quality of life (AYA).

The STUCCO project deals with the exceptional stucco decorations (lime and marble powder) from the Roman necropolises of Puteoli (1st-3rd century CE)- an important city of ancient Italy - which were removed in the 17th-18th century and bought by collectors: 70 stucco bas reliefs are nowadays preserved in the collections of the greatest European museums. STUCCO aims to 1) study the craftsmanship of the Pozzuoli (current name) workshops, 2) acquire data on the iconography in order to add a chapter of art history for the centuries following the destruction of Pompeii in 79 CE, a period for which the remains of decorative arts are scarce and rarely studied and 3) recontextualize the stuccoes by spotting the tombs still rising from which they were taken. For the first time since they were removed from their original contexts, the stuccoes will once again form a coherent ensemble, thus becoming one of the most important collections of Roman stuccoes in the world. The project will be monitored by interdisciplinary teams based at the Université Paris-Nanterre (host institution, France) and the University Libre of Bruxelles (secondment, Belgium), and by professional curators working in archaeological museum (secondment, Saint-Romain-en-Gal). These research collaborations with top-rank scholars and international museum institutions will further expand my skillset, build my professional network and refine my ability to transmit results to a broad audience. Digital humanities and open access will be a fundamental aspect in the implementation of this research and used to share information and enhance its outcomes. The limited number of stucco fragments guarantees the feasibility of the project. By enhancing and recontextualizing the overlooked archaeological heritage of Pozzuoli, STUCCO will have both a scientific and societal impact, and pave the way for a renewal of studies on ancient stuccoes, a field for which there is currently no expert holding an academic position.

Chirality is often considered as a structural properties of molecules, but the concept also applies to elementary particles having a non-zero spin, i.e. electrons at rest are achiral but they acquire a helicity (chirality) in the direction of motion. Consequently, electrons are filtered according to their spin when crossing chiral materials. This newly uncovered chiral-induced spin selectivity (CISS) effect is surprisingly large. Spin polarization up to 100% has been demonstrated paving the way to multiple applications in chemistry, such as improved control of enantioselective reactions and easier separation of enantiomers. Impacts are also expected in physics (spintronics) and biology (molecular recognition of biomolecules, origin of bio-homo-chirality, magnetic compass of migratory songbirds). CISS effect is theoretically ill-defined. Sound structure-property relationship lacks also for the link between molecule chirality and CISS effect magnitude. CISSE proposal intends to contribute to a giant leap forward in the knowledge of CISS effect by putting together some of the best European, American and Israeli experts of the field, who will work towards its fundamental understanding. To this end, members of the CISSE consortium have been selected for their expertise and complementarities encompassing: synthetic chemistry, electrochemistry, surface science, bio-physical chemistry, quantum chemistry, nanoscience, industrial processes, analytical chemistry, and scientific instrument developments. Importantly, some beneficiaries have filled the first patent applications on CISS effect and have started to valorize them. Considerable scope for new discoveries and invention remains because the field of CISS effect is still in its infancy. The topic is particularly suited to educate ESRs because of its novelty and potential. To gain a different perspective on their research activities, ESRs will also contribute to an artistic creation highlighting spin and chirality.

Interictal epileptic discharges (IEDs) are pathological brain activities involving sharp spikes in electrical field potentials that occur preferentially during sleep. In epilepsy, IEDs occur between seizures, and often in deep brain regions such as the medial temporal lobe (MTL).IEDs during sleep disrupt memory and are associated with cognitive impairments. Importantly, MTL IEDs occur not only in epilepsy but also in multiple neuropsychiatric conditions including Alzheimer’s Disease (AD), Autism, ADHD, and following traumatic brain injury (TBI). A major unmet need is to automatically detect sleep IEDs non-invasively when they occur in deep regions such as the MTL, a task that was believed to be nearly impossible until now. We recently developed a novel machine learning-based tool to reliably detect a subset of MTL IEDs non-invasively with high precision. For the first time, IEDs originating in the MTL can be detected even when gold-standard visual inspection by clinical neurologists is impossible. We will first conduct research to optimize and validate IED detection in epilepsy patients, and in mild cognitive impairment (MCI) and AD patients. We will then work to commercialize the tool so that it can be widely used to improve diagnosis, prognosis, drug titration, and risk-stratification not only in epilepsy and dementia, but in diverse neurological conditions including TBI, ADHD, Autism, and psychiatric disorders. Together with the technology transfer office of TAU and with business partners already on board we will work to consolidate and extend the system’s patent family and bring our detection tool to the market.

The EU has established an ambitious industrial goal to make Europe a strategic global leader in the Li-ion battery value chain, deploying a sustainable and innovative industry. This urges the sector to make sure that the industrial production is inherently sustainable, safe, flexible and cost-effective while delivering cutting edge cells. The main objective of GIGAGREEN is to boost the next wave of electrode and cell component processing techniques, enabling breakthrough innovations to improve the environmental, economic and social performance of generation 3b Li-ion cells manufacturing industry, thus positioning Europe at the forefront of the global market. GIGAGREEN proposes a structured research plan to develop and scale up (TRL 3-4 to 5-6) novel electrode and cell component manufacturing processes that follow a Design to Manufacture (DtM) approach. This is, seeking for the minimum environmental impact and energy consumption, cell designs which facilitate the re-use and disassembly, increasement of the cost-efficiency and safety of processes and products, and high-throughput technologies able to be easily scaled up and automated in the context of industry 4.0/5.0 giga-factories. Supported by a vibrant and experienced consortium of academic and industrial partners, GIGAGREEN will follow two alternative R&I trajectories. The first one, based on N-Methyl-2-pyrrolidone (NMP)-free wet processing, is designed for a quick scale up and market uptake of optimised wet coating systems in current industrial setups (final TRL6, 30 cells of 10 Ah prototyped as demonstration). The second one, based on dry processing, will explore breakthrough technologies, achieving a smaller TRL by the end of the project (final TRL5, 30-40 mAh monolayer pouch cells prototypes as proof of concept), paving the path for upcoming R&I experiences to continue scaling up the most promising dry processing techniques.

The fifth and sixth generations (5G/6G) of cellular networks have to handle an unprecedented surge in data traffic, which comes as a result of the emergence of a wide range of applications, notably, the Internet of Everything, haptic internet, digital-twin, to name a few. On one hand, mobile users expect to experience high-speed and reliable wireless access at an affordable cost. On the other hand, service providers aim at maximizing profits and are expecting cost-effective solutions from wireless industry. Increasing the capacity of the Next Generation Radio Access Network (NG-RAN) capitalizes in a part on reducing the cell sizes and the transmissions on high-frequency bands (e.g., millimeter wave) that offer small coverage. However, these solutions call for a dense deployment of base stations, where traditionally each comes with the expenses of establishing fiber links to the core network and a site acquisition (tower lease). The wireless industry leaders opt for developing flexible and more cost-effective NG-RAN that revolve around the dense deployment of low-cost radio access nodes with Integrated Access and Backhauling (IAB). The wireless backhauling/fronthauling feature will ease the task of IAB nodes deployment/relocation and save in the cost of the fiber-based bakchauling network. Although IAB is an attractive solution that could make dense deployments economically viable, efficient approaches for the optimization and management of the resulting large-scale and heterogeneous NG-RAN remain subject to investigation. Together with my supervisor Prof O. Ercetin, I will contribute to the efforts of building cost-effective NG-RANs empowered by IAB nodes, in particular, to the automation of the deployment, operation, and fast-recovery of NG-RANs. This project investigates two overlapping and complementing research problems: unsupervised planning and optimization of NG-RAN; and reliable backhauling/fronthauling wireless network for IAB nodes.

H2Bro will develop a transformative decoupled water electrolysis process for green hydrogen production. It aims for high efficiency in a continuous and isothermal process that supports membraneless electrolysis with high-throughput and minimal energy losses, going far beyond other electrolysis processes. I propose to achieve these goals by dividing the oxygen evolution reaction into two sub-reactions, electrochemical and chemical ones, carried out in different cells. Towards this end, I propose to use a soluble redox couple that will be oxidized electrochemically while hydrogen evolves at the cathode in one cell, and reduced spontaneously in the presence of a catalyst in a chemical reaction that evolves oxygen in another cell. I have identified the bromide/bromate couple as a promising candidate due to its high solubility and suitable redox potential. Fundamental materials challenges will be addressed in developing the electrolytic process with an aim to achieve high efficiency and selectivity to produce bromate without volatile side products such as O2 or other loss reactions, and a suitable catalyst for spontaneous bromate reduction and oxygen evolution. Addressing these challenges requires a multidisciplinary research in materials science, electrochemistry, catalysis and process engineering, where questions of materials selection and catalyst activity and selectivity intertwine with process parameters such as electrolyte composition, temperature and flow, with an ultimate goal of combining the electrolytic and catalytic sub-processes into a seamless process in a flow system that generates hydrogen and oxygen in different cells at high efficiency and rate. Progress towards these aims will lead the way to a competitive solution for green hydrogen production to fight global warming, and advance the science of catalysts and electrodes for advanced water electrolysis and related technologies.

PREDICTOR aims to establish a rapid, high-throughput method to identify and develop materials for electrochemical energy storage. This method will comprise: • A modelling and simulation tool for the computational screening of organic chemicals based on their potential performance in energy storage systems. • Automated chemical synthesis, electrolyte production and characterization methods, so that the chemicals identified in the screening step can be rapidly produced and tested for their suitability in energy storage applications. • Artificial-intelligence-based self-optimization methods that allow experimental data from material characterization to be fed back into automated experimental methods to enable self-driving laboratory laboratory platforms and for modelling and simulation tools, improving their accuracy. • Data management systems to standardize and store the data generated for further use in model validation and self-optimization procedures This approach will allow the rapid identification, synthesis and characterization of materials within a coherent development chain, replacing conventional trial-and-error developments. It will exploit the synergies between several emerging markets (digital technologies, artificial intelligence, high-throughput experimentation, renewable energy storage), providing the recruited doctoral candidates (DCs) with a valuable interdisciplinary skill set. To validate the PREDICTOR system, the case study will be active materials and electrolytes for redox-flow batteries. Within the project, three demonstrator battery cells (TRL3-4) will be assembled and tested with the newly developed materials.

Roots play an essential role in plant growth by absorbing water and nutrients from the soil. As roots penetrate deeper into the soil, they encounter naturally decreasing oxygen levels, which can be exacerbated by soil structure and water content. With the increasing frequency and severity of floods due to climate change, these oxygen limitations (hypoxia) pose a growing threat to global food security because roots require oxygen for respiration, which is vital for efficient energy production. In addition to external factors, my previous research showed that internal factors can create hypoxic niches within root meristems, even in oxygen-rich environments. This pioneering study has begun to uncover a new area of research, highlighting the dynamics of root oxygenation and the consequences of inadequate oxygen supply on root architecture. BreathingUnderground now sets an ambitious goal: to discover how roots breathe beneath the surface and the impact this has on their development and physiology. We will explore: 1) oxygen distribution in root tissues; 2) the impact of chronic hypoxia on root development; and 3) the ability of roots to sense and grow towards oxygen-rich zones. This holistic approach aims to revolutionise the way oxygen provision feeds into root architecture, using advanced microsensors, orthogonal biosensors, X-ray tomography, and spatial transcriptomics. This project aims to create a high-resolution 3D map of root oxygen distribution by precisely measuring root zone oxygenation in natural settings. The project will reveal how oxygen acts as a diffusible signal to monitor root barrier integrity, regulate vascular development. Finally, it will uncover the mechanisms by which roots perceive and respond to fluctuations in oxygen. This fundamental knowledge can be applied to improve plant resilience and/or to modify agricultural practices, and thus to increase crop yields in response to oxygen-limited environments and the challenges posed by climate change.
