understanding the evolution of exoplanets and towards habitable worlds

exoplanets are planets that orbit stars other than our own sun the study of exoplanets provides insight into different stages of life cycles in planetary systems allowing us to examine planetary physics in a global context the objective of exoworld is to develop novel detection characterisation and statistical techniques for understanding the fundamental physics which drives the evolution of planetary systems and find out what set of conditions lead to a habitable world with next generations of space missions and groundbased instruments on their way there is an increasing demand for effective approaches in dealing with large exoplanet databases improved methods are required to extract information in photometric and spectroscopic data for small signals and push towards the discovery of smaller lighter planets as the number of known exoplanets grows it is also important to analyse planet populations as an ensemble in order to connect observed planetary properties to various planet formation theories the exoworld network comprises 12 organisations from 8 countries and it will leverage interdisciplinary and international expertise to study the diversity of exoplanets secondments will be carried out by both early stage researchers and experienced researchers to achieve objectives in four aspects of exoplanet research detection characterisation statistics and habitability the project will involve a series of training and networking activities aimed at knowledge transfer between participants enhance individual skills and foster career developments exoworld will make progress in exoplanet characterisation and results will be exploited in devising strategic observational and analytical approaches in future missions overall the action will establish a sustainable collaborative effort in exoplanet science and ultimately addresses some timeless questions is the solar system unique
polarized 2d materials inspired by naturally occurring phyllosilicates

since the last decade the number of isolated two dimensional 2d materials keeps growing exponentially the research community relies predominantly on synthetic single crystals remaining limited to the variations of only several material classes naturally occurring van der waals vdw crystals 2d minerals offer wider structural and compositional variety but remain largely unexplored further developing nanotechnology based on nontoxic and abundant surface minerals found in soils and clays will ensure sustainable environmentally friendly and biodegradable electronicsrecently the focus of 2d electronics is largely on novel semiconductors and spontaneously polarized materials the number of vdw insulators is extremely disproportional to both semiconductors and metals almost exclusively the entire field relies on hexagonal boron nitride surely this cannot be the only technologically relevant system and new members would also open unexplored pathways in device design and functionalitywith my project pol2dphysics i aim to introduce and establish a class of phyllosilicates as a multifunctional 2d materials platform my project will explore their limits with respect to three applications as gate dielectrics as magnetic insulators and as ferroelectric insulators starting from minerals i will study their structure property relation to bridge the gap between an interesting concept and a potential future technology i will develop pathways to synthesize phyllosilicate single crystals and thin films with targeted properties for applications in 2d electronicsif successful the project will develop scalable novel concepts in charge transfer doping and implement the proposed materials class into multifunctional 2d polarization electronics with high risk goals of delivering novel and air stable multiferroic and neuromorphic systems pol2dphysics has the potential to fundamentally impact the future of 2d electronics
the holographic bootstrap

the holographic principle is believed to embody key fundamental features of any quantum gravity theory it can be seen as a profound consequence of the intrinsic tension between the definition of quantum observables and the fact that in a theory of gravity it is impossible to define such observables in any finite volume due to the existence of black holes the aim of this project is to push the boundaries of the holographic principle beyond ads space formulating a set of selfconsistency requirements in ds flat and inflationary backgrounds directly at the level of the soughtafter holographic observables if successful this will allow us to understand the basic model independent principles at the basis of a quantum gravity theory and to check if a result of a calculation is consistent with unitarity and causality providing a paradigm shift in the search for consistent quantum gravity theories the bottomup perspective developed by holoboot will also be centred on phenomenological applications ranging from classifying modelindependent properties of consistent gravitational efts to understanding signatures of new particles during inflation
novel histocompatibility loci in man

allogeneic tissue graft hematopoietic cell transplantation hct and solid organ transplantation sot kidney heart lung save tens of thousands of lives annually yet their success is compounded by a high incidence of the potentially fatal graftversushost disease gvhd in hct and chronic rejection cr in sot this is primarily due to the existence of yet unknown histocompatibility loci which have escaped detection besides certain immunogenic peptides since the identification of the major histocompatibility complex mhc also called human leukocyte antigen hla in man in 19401950s the identification of these hitherto unknown histocompatibility loci in man is the major aim of this proposal our contribution to mhc genetics includes the identification of the sole nonhla mhcencoded class i molecules the mhc class i chainrelated mic genes a second lineage of mammalian major histocompatibility complex class i genes pnas which we recently qualified as a bona fide histocompatibility gene the mhc class i mica gene is a histocompatibility antigen in kidney transplantation nature medicine here we aim to identify the totality of histocompatibility loci embedded within our genome we will apply a pluriomics approach successfully applied elsewhere identification of driver genes for critical forms of covid19 in a deeply phenotyped young patient cohort scienceorg on deeply phenotyped cohorts of kidney transplants and hct identified candidate loci will be validated based on their ability to be presented by mhc molecule and to elicit t andor bcell responses in contrast to the classical hypothesisdriven approaches which have collectively failed to identify universally applicable such loci in the past 70 years our approach is unbiased datadriven and unprecedented in the field it shall have direct relevance in our understanding of the primum movens of gvhd and cr and shall lead to a personalized therapy of the transplant patient
macroeconomic modelling of rd for the twin transition

macroeconomic models are widely applied across the eu to support strategic planning for ri and the green transition however these models do not include a detailed representation of ri policies and do not explicitly model green technologies and the economic sectors that develop these technologies the performance of rd and its role in creating first mover advantages monopoly rents and eventually successful deployment of the green and digital technologies to respond to these challenges twinrd aims to develop new data technology matrices models and enhance leading existing macroeconomic modelling geme3 and nemesis to this end twinrd will develop innovative and interdisciplinary approaches for the enhanced modelling representation of ri and innovation policy in eu27 and improve the integration of ri activities in applied macroeconomic models based also on the collection empirical analysis and integration of new data and technology matrices for green and digital technologies into the macromodels twinrd will develop a new innovative opensource model specifically designed to address the twin transition that goes beyond the standard approaches and will be both supply and demand driven the advanced modelling tools will be used for the evaluation and assessment of ri policy impacts on socioeconomic and environmental indicators aiming to distil policyrelevant insights all datasets models and sets of software will be made freely accessible to stakeholders and the public in the twinrd online platform and in other channels the entire project will be based on active stakeholder interactions and inclusive dialogue to codesign the research and scenarios explored based on the creation of twinrd open forum
understanding the integration of body schema in the cortical representations of space during tool use

when walking with a cane a blind person can localize the objects they touch toolbased sensing requires the brain to combine sensory signals at the hand and proprioceptive information together with knowledge of the physical properties of the tool to correctly interpret the signals sensed with a tool the brain incorporates the tool in its internal representation of the body in space known as the body schema however the neuronal basis for integrating somatosensory with the body schema information is largely unknown i hypothesize that feedback projections from higher cortical areas involved in body schema shape cortical somatosensory processing to create a spatial representation of touch i propose to tackle this question at the cellular and circuit levels by introducing the mouse as a model organism mice use their whiskers to effectively localize objects in space yet the whiskers themselves lack mechanoreceptors here i will record neuronal activity in the somatosensory cortex s1 using twophoton imaging while presenting mice with objects at different locations in a twodimensional horizontal plane from my preliminary experiments i found that individual layer 23 neurons in s1 have preferences for different spatial positions using optogenetics i will test the impact of feedback projections from the body schema network on the spatial representation in s1 finally i will employ a prosthetic whisker designed in the host lab to vary the physical parameters of the mouse whisker this experimental design will allow exploring the consequences of a mismatch between the body schema and the actual physical properties of the tool used in the cortical representation of space through the development of a prosthetic whisker this proposal aims to leverage the mouse model to shed light on a major open question in cognitive neuroscience
