tailoring the plasticity of intermetallics from understanding and predicting deformation mechanisms to new materials

tailorplast focuses on understanding and predicting plastic deformation mechanisms in intermetallic phases for advanced structural and functional materials the traditional approach of manipulating microstructures in metalbased alloys has been immensely successful but new materials and predictive materials design strategies are needed to enable new functionalities and sustainability in transportation production energy conversion and storage tailorplast seeks to address this challenge by adopting a generalised approach and leveraging recent experimental and computational insights into the atomic mechanisms of dislocation motion in intermetallics in combination with graph neural networks and their reach towards extensive databasesrecently we could show that small changes in intermetallic composition can lead to dramatic property changes we uncovered the details of the essential dislocation mechanisms and energy barriers in the intermetallic crystals and have demonstrated how this knowledge enables tailoring of properties within a single crystal structure the critical stresses for deformation may be varied across a large range by inducing sublattice order even in a binary intermetallicthe projects objectives are to expand the understanding of fundamental plasticity mechanisms beyond metals transfer these mechanisms to a large class of topologically closepacked intermetallic phases and ultimately identify promising intermetallics for tailored plasticity and predict the plastic properties of complex intermetallic precipitate phases in highperformance alloys the success of tailorplast will lead to purposeful applicationoriented material selection accelerated alloy design and the ability to tailor structural materials for extreme conditions and functional materials for new applications
privacypreserving security cameras based on metalenses

surveillance cameras are widely used by governments businesses and ordinary citizens to monitor private and public areas to deter crime and identify offenders as of 2021 it was estimated that there are over 1 billion surveillance cameras worldwidehowever there are great concerns that continuous monitoring severely restricts peoples privacy and freedom of movement there have been reports of abuse of surveillance footageincluding by businesses and government institutions regulators civil rights groups and citizens are thus rightly concerned about infringements on freedoms of speech and association especially in this era of ai when monitoring tracking and profiling techniques have been made easier cheaper and more accuratean initial step in video scene analysis is pose estimation which enables monitoring the flux of people and detecting criminal actions or intent considering the privacy concerns of continuously recording citizens and automated image analysis this project intends to develop a novel camera system that captures just enough detail required for pose estimation but excludes identifying information existing software methods of deidentifying videos require a clear video to be taken first and so do not entirely solve this problem proposed experimental hardware methods that avoid this issue using lenses have bulky optics and a limited set of parameterswith metacam we will implement the optimized optical devices metalenses that allow ultimate control of all the light degrees of freedom in this project we will design and fabricate the metalenses and build an optical table prototype of the camera to demonstrate its secure privacypreserving performance supported by business developers we will examine thebusiness potential and map and engage the stakeholders later required to get from a proof of concept to a marketready product

ferroic materials for dynamic heat flow control

tackling climate change is one of the most pressing challenges of our modern society and requires researching new refrigeration and renewable energy systems performances of all these systems could be significantly improved if they were combined with solidstate thermal switches and diodes current strategies that require to nanostructure materials or to operate in the vicinity of a phase transition lead to thermal switches or thermal diodes with low efficiencies or not suitable for applications where space is limited furthermore once designed thermal properties of these elements are set and cannot be modifiedmy objective is to investigate a fundamentally new mechanism to design compact and efficient thermal switches and diodes my strategy exploits in ferroelectric and ferroelastic oxides the interactions between phonons and spontaneously occurring planar defects known as domain walls domain walls can be easily generated moved and oriented by application of a small voltage or a small uniaxial pressure and interact with phonons as defects do they are thus perfect interfaces to achieve large and reconfigurable anisotropies in thermal conductivities in controlled directions in a fast and reversible wayin this ambitious project i develop a novel approach to demonstrate a dynamic heat flow control through i the reversible engineering of the density of domain walls in desired directions and ii the development of advanced experimental techniques for inoperando thermal characterizations my multidisciplinary strategy will unravel the interactions between phonons and domain walls to reach higher thermal conductivity variations and lead to groundbreaking thermal switches and diodes these thermal switches and diodes will be compatible with a large range of devices and have an impact in many fields critical for our transition toward a sustainable future eg solidstate refrigeration solar panels thermoelectric devices

euclid is an esa space telescope launching in july 2023 designed to understand the nature of dark energy and dark matter to achieve this euclid will observe over a third of the sky with high resolution imaging and spectroscopy which will establish the reference map of the extragalactic celestial sphere for decades to come the giant archive produced will be a goldmine to study the history of the formation and growth of galaxies over the age of the universe driving answers to many fundamental science questions on the coevolution of galaxies and supermassive black holes the interaction between stars gas and galactic nuclei in galaxies at cosmic noon and excelling in the discovery of rare objects including gravitational lenses however the richest gold veins are also the most difficult to exploit the tools developed for euclids primary science will not be enough to open the rich legacy for the astronomical community we therefore propose elsa to explore new methodologies and create cuttingedge pipelines tools and algorithms our ambitious goal is to push the boundaries of spectroscopic analysis to the limits uncovering hidden details of even the faintest and rarest galaxies measured by euclid we will leverage state of the art machine learning to efficiently handle the highdimensional data and reveal the underlying physical processes they encode this will need dedicated computing resources and highly motivated researchers versed in the most advanced techniques that will work with our team of leading experts in the field of galaxy evolution to reveal the treasures preserved in the euclid vault our machine learning will be supplemented by citizen science enormously extending the reach of elsas impact elsa will be a forge of knowledge and advanced tools that will not be confined within the boundaries of our teams but shared with the whole scientific community and beyond to foster new projects and unforeseen discoveries
quantum jumps for time crystals

discrete time crystals dtc in manybody systems are a prominent example of a manybody nonequilibrium state of matter there have been many theoretical proposals on how to achieve a manybody dtc and they were realised in several experiments an underlying framework for all different types of dtc models is lacking my first main goal is to study the dtc phase in manybody systems with a novel framework namely through their quantum jump behaviour induced by an environment my second main goal is to go beyond the lindblad description required for the first goal and consider also the case where lindblad rates can go negative usual jump methods do not work in this case and i will rely on a novel jump method that i codeveloped specifically for this situation to deploy its full power the method requires further development which will be the first objective of the project i will study three systems with a dtc phase the first is a toy model a driven anharmonic oscillator a good test case for the method which will provide new insight in the dynamical phase next i study two true manybody systems the first is a collection of spins where the dtc phase relies on manybody localisation mbl inspired on experimentally implemented protocols my aim here is to distinguish the dtc phase from the ordinary mbl and ergodic phase by the jump statistics beyond this i will explore how many sites must be monitored to detect and distinguish different phases finally i will study a large ensemble of spins that can show the dtc phase like the experiment in nitrogenvacancy centres which does not rely on mbl realise the dtc phase it would be extremely elucidating to compare the nature of the phase to the one that does rely on mbl i will compare the results from both cases in hopes unifying both realisations or finding clear distinctions
surface urban heat island at high spatiotemporal resolution

the fast growing of cities population in the last decades which is projected to be continued in the following requires a better understanding of urban climatology and atmospheric conditions looking for the benefit of citizens life in a fast warming world due to climate change the uhi defined as the temperature difference between the urban area and its surroundings is a major concern in the cities uhi has been traditionally studied with localised insitu air temperature measurements ie taking the difference between a representative value of the city and of the suburban area thereby limited by its spatial representability however a deep comprehension of uhi spatial variability is essential for supplying policymakers with highquality information to plan prevent and mitigate the uhi effect especially relevant under extreme heat conditions while satellite thermal infrared tir data provided new valuable insights in surface uhi suhi these are still limited by the compromise between the spatial and temporal resolution of tir satellite sensors in this action we will develop a novel methodology to estimate highaccuracy 2 k land surface temperatures lst at unprecedent high spatiotemporal resolution ie 100 m at four different times the adtc model will be applied to ecostress lst data which will be refined in synergy modis lst data the suhi diurnal cycle will be evaluated over 24 european cities to analyse the suhi variability at european cities with different climate characteristics the project outcomes are expected to have a relevant impact on economy and society since the highresolution data produced in the project will be provided to policymakers and to urban and health planning related sectors in addition findings from the project will be communicated to general public and students in collaboration with local institutions and universities
secure postquantum cryptographic primitives

quantum computers pose a huge threat to cybersecurity with the potential of solving complex problems in just a fraction of the time it takes to the most powerful supercomputers today with conventional public key infrastructure pki cryptography at risk we face the task of securing our digital systems with the development of new cryptographic primitives for the postquantum era inspired by nature this project aims to developing the biometric equivalents of fingerprints and dna for the digital world that will univocally and individually identify hardware for this goal physically unclonable functions pufs will be developed to provide hardwarebased digital identifiers that will be utilised to build lightweight encryption and robust authentication procedures but creating such unique structures is challenging in a fastgrowing digital environment with increasing demand for new interconnected devices such as the internet of things iot to achieve this goal we will combine light and sound we will use ultrasound us waves to control the travel path of a light beam transmitted through a scattering medium to generate unique patterns this novel method can potentially generate a high number of unique patterns while reducing the cost and complexity compared to current systems exploiting optical pufs the proposed device is expected to be unconditionally unclonable and therefore safe in the postquantum era this project will also explore the integration of the proposed novel pufs with cmosbased cryptographic primitives to create identity of things idot the proposed solution is expected to be of relevance in a wide spectrum of application domains such as financial systems medical services energy industry governments and citizens
mobility and life histories in the alps understanding prehistoric social strategies in mountain environment

several hundred sites dating from the 5th to the 2nd millennia bc have been identified in the eastern italian alps making them one of the best archaeologicallymapped regions among the european mountains however despite the large amount of residential and productive prehistoric sites only few funerary contexts have been unearthed and even fewer human remains have been studied using state of the art bioarchaeology eg isotope analyses dna etc prehistoric burials found in the eastern italian alps represent a unique and exceptional source of information that can provide crucial knowledge on past human mobility and life histories in mountain environment during this 4000year time span an increase of social complexity and an intensification of exchange networks are documented in this region a buffer zone between the mediterranean and the central europe crossed by major northsouth routes adigeeisack valleys that implied an intensive movement of people objects and ideas the mola project aims to integrate alpine landscape archaeology with stateoftheart bioarchaeology and spatial modelling to understand how social strategies influenced human mobility and life histories from the neolithic to the end of the bronze age in mountain environment with a particular focus on the eastern italian alps to tackle this research goal an innovative methodology based on the combined analysis of strontium 87sr86sr oxygen d18o and sulphur d34s isotope ratios in prehistoric cremated 87sr86sr only and inhumed human remains from the area and period under study is used these are coupled with data from alpine landscape archaeology on humanenvironment interactions stratigraphic excavations surveys geomorphology etc to shed light on social strategies and possible gender differences behind individual and collective mobility and life histories in the eastern italian alps during the neolithic the chalcolithic and the bronze age
responsive law for global value chains

chainlaw will develop a novel conceptual and normative legal language for global value chains gvcs gvcs are the interconnected trade structures that underlie the production of commodities and offering of services while gvcs have been intensively theorised in the social sciences they are largely unknown as legal categories this is highly problematic when the law is starting to legislate or decide cases about supplychain responsibilitythe core aim of chainlaw is to provide the concepts necessary for law to be able to develop appropriate and effective legislation for gvcs and appropriate approaches to supplychain liability it will do so by a combination of theoretical doctrinal empirical technical and normative analysis on the law of gvcs to that end chainlaw is groundbreaking by employing first a novel theoretical framework based on institutional theory that that sets up a threefold typology of gvcs allowing their qualifications as part of the company contracts and as a network simultaneously chainlaw engages secondly in a multidisciplinary descriptive analysis that traces this institutional understanding within various regulatory layers that govern gvcs that include formal law private and technological regulation in gvcs it proposes an analysis of the law on gvcs that integrates i legal doctrinal analysis of company and contract law and the legal debate on networks ii sociolegal research on private regulatory documents that are set up by companies contracting parties and within the gvc network and iii sociotechnical analysis of supplychain technologies as used by companies commercial parties and in networked processes third chainlaw uses these insights to develop a strategy for how the law can responsively govern gvcs in private law including liability and public law intervention such responsive law needs to integrate the different institutional dimensions of gvcs and address the various regulatory layers in gvcs
design and synthesis of bulkactive polymeric organic electrocatalysts for efficient electroorganic synthesis

as the top industrial energy consumer the chemical industry must rapidly develop new lowcarbon technologies to lower the industrys carbon footprint for preparing chemicals and materials for our everyday life current synthetic approaches have a low atom economy and rely on the functionalization of reagents with reactive groups that form desired products at elevated temperatures or pressures these processes are wasteful and energyintensive they form hazardous side products and require energy for heating that is often provided by fossil fuelsimagine a future where organic chemical reactions are driven with electricity from renewables with a high atom economy and fewer side products electroorganic synthesis holds great promise for achieving these goals since reactive intermediates are formed in situ at electrode surfaces forming products with high selectivities under efficient reaction conditions while the field is rapidly maturing and highly selective processes are reported for a wide spectrum of reactions the majority of electrode materials currently employed are based on precious metals relying on precious metals for developing the technology is a risk due to their scarcity supplychain bottlenecks and high cost polyelectrocat develops a new class of electrode materials for efficient electroorganic synthesis using solely earthabundant elements the materials are redoxactive carbonbased materials with tailormade metal complexes that create high activity and selectivity for energyuphill reductive electrocatalytic reactions these materials achieve functionality rarely achieved for metals where electrode materials are solution processible and function as binder and additivefree electrodes moreover the electrode reacts volumetrically enabling the exploration of entire new directions for electrosynthesis employing the entire bulk of the electrode material rather than the surface only
