understanding engineering and probing correlated manybody physics in superlattices of graphene and beyond

exploring the plethora of possibilities provided by solidstate systems to realize exotic manybody phases is not only motivated by fundamental questions but also by potential quantum technological applications in both cases it is important to have control over the properties of the system in order to engineer the phase of interest to have a clear theoretical understanding of the microscopic physics and to be able to probe it in this regard superlattice systems have recently brought many exciting results eg the moire lattice that emerges when two layers of graphene are twisted induces correlated phenomena akin to hightemperature superconductors furthermore artificially arranged atoms on surfaces have become popular tools to design electronic bands supercorr will explore the vast set of possibilities provided by these tunable systems to engineer novel correlated manybody physics propose ways to probe it and advance our understanding of the complex phase diagrams of quantum matter more specifically we will address key questions related to several different graphene moire systems such as the origin and form of superconductivity its relation to the correlated insulator the interplay of topological obstructions and correlations and the microscopics of their nematic phases we will work on the impact of spinorbit coupling and on a theoretical description of twistangle disorder viewing inhomogeneities as a blessing in disguise that can also be used to probe and realize interesting physics finally we will develop a theoretical framework for the design of atom arrangements on the surface of complex host materials in order to create or simulate a quantum manybody system on demand to this end we will employ and further extend a variety of analytical and numerical methods of manybody physics and field theory and combine it in some projects with machinelearning techniques while keeping a close connection to experiment
printed symbiotic materials as a dynamic platform for living tissues production

the prismlt aims at creating a flexible platform for next generation living tissue manufacturing based on hybrid living materials we plan to design a novel bioink where stem cells are integrated in a support matrix enriched with engineered helper cells either bacteria or yeasts depending on the application and requirements tuning the operational parameters of the bioprinting process we will cast down the material controlling the mechanical properties of each voxel to get to a 3d patterned structure where stem cells are locally induced to initiate their differentiation towards different lineages as far as stem cells proliferate the helpers remain in a quiescent state however when the stem cells get stimulated by the local printed mechanics and enter a differentiation pathway they start secreting a pool of lineagespecific metabolites the helper cells are designed to sense these early markers of differentiation and to respond by producing insitu the corresponding growth factors providing the relevant chemical guidance helper cells within the platform amplify the initial lineage commitment in each area and dynamically sustain differentiation on a longer term during the project we will implement this strategy and develop two independent symbiotic materials targeting biomedical and food applications respectively
the biofabrication of a 3d in vitro human oviduct model to study infertility and factors affecting embryo development

despite being viewed as a simple transport conduit the oviduct can determine a successful pregnancy and has a lifelong impact on our health and wellbeing also called the fallopian tube our understanding of tubal function remains limited owing to the ethical limitations of human studies and the poor translations of animal studies to people the objective of the ovichip project is to create the first fullscale 3d in vitro model of the oviduct that can address our knowledge gap the oviduct selects healthy sperm and hosts the first embryonic cell divisions setting the stage for fetal development and health in our adult life epigenetic factors can trigger genetic defects in these first moments that lead to unsuccessful pregnancies or ailments such as alzheimers diabetes and schizophrenia when oviduct function is compromised such as through a chlamydia trachomatis infection infertility can arise a common recourse for prospective parents is in vitro fertilization ivf however ivf success rates have plateaued at 30 for the past decade and concerns have emerged about the epigenetic impact ivf has on a childs health therefore to improve embryo viability and ivf outcomes or to avoid ivf by addressing tubal pathologies our knowledge gap about oviduct function must be addressed the ovichip project will develop biofabrication technologies to create a 3d model that respects the structural and biological elements of the oviduct from a meso to micron scale the anticipated outcomes include 1 the validation of new biofabrication approaches 2 a better understanding of chlamydiaassociated tubal pathologies 3 insight into the oviduct microenvironment with respect to sperm selection and epigenetic factors affecting embryogenesis the ovichip will strive for unprecedented biomimicry and functional readout setting new standards for tissue engineering most importantly this will provide a unique avenue to fundamental answers that impact patients

how do diazotrophs shape the ocean biological carbon pump a global approach from the single cell to the ecosystem

diazotrophs regulate marine productivity in 60 of our oceans by alleviating nitrogen limitation contributing to carbon c sequestration through the n2primed prokaryotic c pump pcp yet we dont know how much diazotrophderived organic c oc is exported to the deep ocean which prevents robust predictions of how the ocean contributes to co2 sequestration and climate change mitigation this knowledge gap is due to the multiple and complex pathways by which diazotrophs are exported to the deep ocean which quantification and drivers of variability are impossible to capture with current methods hope will bridge this gap thanks to a new isotopic technique i developed and to a coupling between lab and in situ approaches examining processes occurring at different spatiotemporal scales and capable of capturing both transient and seasonal features of the pcp hope will 1determine how various diazotrophs aggregate sink and are remineralized by using an automated experimental water column i designed for this proposal 2decipher by which pathways diazotrophderived oc is exported to the deep ocean thanks to a pioneer approach combining singlecell isotopic analyses indepth microbiological characterization of sinking particles and geochemical budgets 3investigate how environmental drivers control the whole process from the surface diazotroph community up to their eventual export to the deep ocean by deploying a cuttingedge autonomous platform unique as it performs synoptic measurements both in and below the euphotic zone at high resolution hourlydaily in its final stage hope will use the generated data to provide global spatially resolved estimates of the contribution of diazotrophs to overall oc export based on my expertise at the interface between microbial oceanography and geochemistry hope has the potential to deliver a multidisciplinary and groundbreaking knowledge leading to potential scientificbased recommendations to fight climate change
exploring complex realities around gender based violence multiple legal orders and role of police in addressing gbv cases in pakistan and pakistani immigrant community in norway

violence occurs in all countries rich or poor developed or developing irrespective of caste creed color social status wealth urban or rural residence or the ages of victim and aggressor keeping this in mind this study is designed to understand gendered aspects of gender based violence in pakistan and pakistani families living in norway despite extensive legislation and steps taken by the federal and provincial government the plague of gbv is at rise in pakistan and rest of the world interestingly to address the gbv issue at state level community policing has emerged as an alternative approach to conventional topdown approach to ensure human security community policing also addresses gender inclusive policing which in response provides room to address serious issues like gender based violence such community based approaches to policing are instrumental in addressing the sensitive issues like gbv however the effectiveness of these approaches in complexed contexts are underresearched and debated in recent scholarship similarly it is equally interesting to understand the choices people make in legally pluralistic societies because it will provide greater understanding to reflect on how people maneuver negotiate and choose the legal system to address gbv at the norwegian level it would be very valuable to review how police works with gbv victims from immigrant communities from pakistan hence there is need to understand the gaps and challenges within the designed mechanism to curb gbv with special focus on gendered social relations legal pluralism and why it is important for police to understand contextual complexity qualitative data collection method will be used to collect data both from pakistan and norway study is framed from grains from various filed of studies like security feminism ir legal and development studies to ensure interdisciplinarity
ecocritical approach to land subsidence in italys po delta region

the phenomenon of land subsidence in river deltas the sinking of deltas land surface due to the removal of underground resources has become a global challenge due to the rise of sea levels recurrent droughts and invasive human activities to the point that by 2040 it will affect almost one fifth of the global population the accelerating land subsidence in river deltas has been the subject of renewed interest in hydrogeology and environmental policy in response to a growing concern with the increasing exploitation of the subsoil further aggravated by the natural gas crisis in europe scientific studies have mostly analysed this phenomenon by focusing on hydrogeological and physical characteristics of the deltaic land meanwhile recent environmental humanities scholars have noted the inadequacy of governmental institutions in managing precarious ecosystems affected by land subsidence few researchers however have thoroughly examined land subsidence through an interdisciplinary approach to analyse the role of cultural productions such as cinema and literature in shaping and giving voice to public understandings of land subsidence indeed a comprehensive ecocritical study of land subsidence has not yet been done as a result the scholarship tends to consider the natural or human aspects of land subsidence in isolation thus overlooking key more comprehensive insights for environmental policy and river delta conservation earthsea will provide the first comprehensive ecocritical analysis of the ways in which contemporary literature cinema and media have actively shaped and contributed to past and present debates over land subsidence the theoretical and methodological research portions of earthsea will use italys po delta as a case study the po delta represents one of the most important anthropogenic river deltas in europe and is the largest in italy covering 180 km2 and hosting hundreds of animal and vegetable species
