data stories producing stories about and with property and planning data

planning and property data are the key evidence base for how cities are understood planned and developed informing public perception guiding investments and shaping policy yet little critical attention has been paid to planning and property data and their lifecycles circulation politics power and use in policy and stakeholder decisionmaking this lacuna raises two important challenges that require redress if the validity of analysis interpretation and decisionmaking is to be improved first transforming the ontological and epistemological understanding of planning and property data amongst those that utilise them second fostering a reflexive approach to data politics and power in organisations that produce share and use planning and property data datastories will tackle these challenges by conducting research in a creative highly engaged way with key stakeholders across three domains state business ngoscivil society it will develop an innovative methodological approach that blends social science and researchcreation methods working with creative writers and artists to map an entire data ecosystem dublin ireland unpack data assemblages and produce a variety of data stories 12 indepth case studies will produce 36 data stories about and with planning and property data the project will produce four key advances new knowledge about the evidencebase for planning and property and its use critical insight into the politics and praxes of data novel researchcreation methods and an assessment of their efficacy and an extended conception of data stories and an understanding of their production and utility for different audiences datastories will produce three groundbreaking impacts conceptual transforming the epistemology of planning and property research applied positively influencing the data processes and practices of key stakeholders methodological validating researchcreation and data stories as social sciences methods
layering understanding controlling and integrating ferroelectric polar textures on silicon

ferroelectric materials have been known and their fascinating properties exploited for more than 100 years still in recent years exotic polar textures resembling those found in magnetic materials have been unraveled in nanoscale ferroelectric perovskite oxides such as flux closure domains curling polarization vortices and the groundbreaking discoveries of polar skyrmions and merons in 20192020 polar textures hold huge promise for novel robust topological electronic devices such as ultracompact tbitin2 memories however so far nanoscale polar domains have only been studied on special oxide substrates eg srtio3 which precludes practical applications i propose to take a revolutionary approach to the field of topological polar textures by bringing them to the realm of the si platform not only is this necessary to implement energyefficient nanodevices but si material and advanced cmos semiconductor technologies offer multiple unexplored ways to engineer mechanical and electrical boundary conditions in ultrathin films and nanostructures of transition metal oxides with luciole i will push the limits in the exploration and future harnessing of emergent states in ferroics with the following objectivescreate monolithicallyintegrated topological polar textures on silicon by molecular beam epitaxy and atomic layer deposition of epitaxial and glasscomposite nanoscale ferroelectrics using strain confinement and frustration engineeringunderstand the polar textures created on silicon by combining advanced stateoftheart correlative microscopies and spectroscopies at the nanoscale including operando timeresolved methodsintegrate ferroelectrics at the nanoscale at the frontend and backendofline of si chips in sub500 nm two and threeterminal devices with tunable stress and study their manipulation under electric field by statistically screening their properties at the wafer scale to unveil potentially rich behavioral patterns
mechanistic study of gut microbial biotransformation reactions and their physiological role

the human gut microbiota the trillions of microbes inhabiting our gastrointestinal tract encodes an enormous number of metabolic enzymes responsible for diverse biochemical reactions that determine metabolic microbiotahost interactions bacterial biotransformation reactions the chemical modification of compounds by bacteria seem to play a central role in such metabolic interplay between the gut microbiota and its human host a number of gut microbial biotransformations such as reductive and hydrolytic reactions as well as their metabolic enzymes have been recently described the natural roles of these biotransformation pathways in bacterial metabolism and their influence on host physiology have been associated with gut bacterial fitness nutrition uptake immune signaling as well as personal drug response and toxicity despite these important functions our mechanistic and physiological understanding remains still limited for many gut microbial biotransformation reactions such as chemical conjugation to fill this knowledge gap i present a multidisciplinary plan to systematically investigate conjugative biotransformation reactions of gut bacteria i will develop mass spectrometrybased methods to identify gut bacterial species and strains that perform conjugative biotransformations employ highthroughput gut bacterial genetics to identify the responsible genes determine their role in bacterial metabolism and eventually assess selected examples for their impact on microbiotahost interactions in gnotobiotic mouse models if successful this project will provide novel insights into gut microbial metabolism and pave new ways to develop strategies for the rational manipulation of gut microbial community functions for better health outcomes furthermore this project will expand my professional network transferrable skills and scientific competencies thus providing me the greatest opportunity to mature towards an independent scientist and investigator

banking and climate change

climate change is one of the key societal challenges of our generation affecting every country every firm and every person on this planet for decades to come more than half of carbon emissions arise from bankdependent sectors of the economy and a large part of renewable energy production is financed by banks the banking sector plays a crucial role for lending to firms and households for the issuance of securities for project financing and for mergers and acquisitions yet the role of banks in addressing climate change is not yet well understood the goal of this project is to provide a fundamental understanding of the role of the banking sector in addressing climate change the project will take a holistic view and analyze several channels through which the banking sector plays a central role in addressing climate change the role of laws and regulations the role of governance mechanisms in the banking sector the role of stateowned banks as well as the interaction between public markets and banks i pursue this research agenda in two parts the first part focuses on the role of the banking industry for firms while the second part focuses on the role of the banking industry for households both parts will analyze key agency and financial constraints that can impede the provision of financing for longterm investments that are at the heart of climate finance this project will shape our understanding of the role of the banking sector in addressing climate change it will empirically analyze key channels advance the methodological toolkit that can serve as the basis for future research in this area and create unparalleled new data sets tailored to analyzing the role of the banking sector in addressing climate change the results of this project can help academics regulators policymakers and society to understand and address one of the key challenges of our times
