controller adaptive digital assistant

controller adaptive digital assistantthe coda project involves developing a system in which hybrid humanmachine teams collaboratively perform tasks to do so the system put together state of art from different fields i prediction models to foresee future situations and have the system know which activities will be carried out by the operators and their impact on the same human performance ii neurophysiological assessment of mental states to enable the system to know operators real current level of workload attention stress fatigue and vigilance by validating the predicted cognitive models and maximising the effectiveness of the interaction between the human and the machine by developing an hmpe human machine performance envelope iii aibased adaptable and explainable systems to have the system act to prevent future performance or safety issuesspecifically the project will show how a system could adapt to specific situations and react accordingly by using advanced adaptable and adaptive automation principles that will dynamically guide the allocation of tasks the system will assess the operators cognitive status use current traffic data to foresee the future tasks that the operator will need to perform in the future and calculate the impact of those tasks in terms of cognitive complexity with this information the system will predict the future mental state of the operator and will act accordingly by developing an adaptive automation strategy for example imagine an atco managing a complex traffic situation and experiencing a medium workload the system is aware of this thanks to the neurophysiological assessment it predicts that the additional upcoming tasks the atco will need to take care of will increase their workload exceeding the maximum an operator can handle to avoid this the system decides how to act following an adaptation strategy it may for instance increment the level of automation enable additional aibased tools or request a sector splitting
control mechanisms and robustness of multicellular symmetry breaking

understanding the establishment of an animal body plan is an important challenge of modern biology progress has been mainly limited by 1 a separation of research fields studying genetic and biophysical mechanisms and 2 a lack of approaches to mimic multicellular tissue organization from first principles in a cross disciplinary effort we will focus on the earliest stages of animal development when first steps of cell differentiation define the primary body axis through spatial symmetry breaking laying the foundation for the future body plan our goal is to identify the fundamental mechanisms controlling this symmetry breaking process to this end we will study in detail the interplay between global tissue geometry shape size and dimension physical boundary conditions and mechanochemical cell interactions therefore we address the following questions i how do global shape and size control local cellular states and interactions ii how do local cellular states and interactions induce robust symmetry breaking at the tissue level iii to which extent can geometry control cell fate specification in a speciesindependent manner to overcome previous limitations we will establish a comprehensive methodological toolbox of synthetic bottomup approaches and functional exvivo assays we use as model systems mouse zebrafish and later also human embryonic stem cells this will be combined with advanced biophysical techniques and theoretical modeling in order to systematically dissect the mutual couplings between genetic patterning mechanisms and morphogenetic processes thereby revealing the multicellular dance underlying tissue symmetry breaking our results will shed new light on the longstanding question of how complex biological forms are robustly built from a single fertilized egg impacting on our understanding of organism development and maintenance and opening new directions for the controlled design of artificial tissues and organs

performing as the expert urban activists roles and identities online and offline

the meaning of urban space is undergoing constant renegotiation it is reproduced in everyday actions and in political discourse urban activists advocate for a more just distribution of physical urban space away from motorised traffic towards sustainable humanscale cities most activists act on their own behalf as concerned or affected residents others choose to perform specific roles for instance as topic experts in this research i investigate which roles urban activists perform how they choose a role and which motives influence the choice i ask whether activists performativity can shift the political landscape in their favour and how performed roles are perceived by politicians lobby groups and the public i am interested in the influence of situational cultural and political settings specifically whether urban activists perform different roles online and offline in societies trusting in experts and in more populist societies and in the global north and in the majority world i employ a mixedmethod approach that combines innovative quantitative methods from computational linguistics and social network analysis and stateoftheart qualitative methods from visual anthropology digital ethnography and digital anthropology beyond academic output this research project will engage the public among other channels using videos posted to social media and provide a handbook to urban activists to support their work transforming our cities into more just and sustainable placesin this msca i will receive the necessary training to establish myself as a multidisciplinary scholar who is firm in qualitative and quantitative methods and is confident with theories from different fields as such this action has the potential of setting my career path towards becoming a leading researcher investigating timely issues of societal relevance from a multiparadigmatic and holistic perspective

studying the landscape of axion models and providing software tools for the next generation of axion searches

this project is to extend our knowledge about the landscape of viable axion models axions originally emerged as a solution to the strong cp problem and are excellent dark matter candidates thus providing highly motivated extensions of the standard model the project focuses in particular on models that solve further puzzles eg improving the socalled pecceiquinn quality problem to find such models it considers qcd axions that are lighter or heavier than the usual benchmark models or axionlike particles from astrophysical sourcesmoreover the next generation of experimental searches need accurate computations that match the expected precision of the experiments advancing our understanding of the models and their predictions and confronting them with experimental data will require the development of new software codes and possibly new computational techniques it will further require combining the expertises of the researcher phenomenology statistical analyses with those of the supervisorhost theoretical computations model buildinglearning about the most viable axion models will not only increase our knowledge but also guide future experimental searches by making software codes and data sets publicly available the project will contribute to the sustained growth of this exciting field of research these tools will provide researchers with a solid basis for ongoing and future research activities in axion physics in turn the project can benefit from community feedback on its openscience products ultimately improving the efficiency and quality of the underlying research
nonlocal integrable equations blowup phenomena and beyond

i will carry out this fellowship at the university of oslo under the supervision of professor kenneth karlsen at the department of mathematicsthe project is devoted to study existence and blowup properties of the solutions of initial value problems ivps for nonlocal nonlinear integrable pdes nonlocal integrable equations were introduced by m ablowitz and z musslimani in 2013 and have become a hot topic in the theory of integrable systems by applying inverse scattering transform ist method it was shown that soliton solutions of nonlocal equations blowup in isolated points in xt plane therefore the natural question is to study the existence and blowup properties of the general ivps for such equations to this end we will use the mixture of the ist method and pde techniques the former will be used for predicting the presence and the form of the blowup of the solution while the pde approaches will be used for describing the blowup of the solution of the general ivp and for finding a suitable concept of a weak solution which exists even after the collapsealso by the ist method it was shown that apart from zeros which correspond to solitons the associated to the initial data spectral functions have the new type of singularities these singularities correspond to the winding of the argument of the spectral function and play a significant role in longtime asymptotic behavior of the solutions they are responsible for a transition between qualitatively different asymptotic zones in xt plane it is a challenging open problem to describe analytically the nonlinear effects corresponding to these new singularities and in the framework of the project we are going to investigate this phenomena numericallythe fellowship will allow me to expand my skills in pde methods which is different but related to my present expertise field also it will enable me to become an established interdisciplinary researcherwho could pursue top academic positions
