using museum specimens to understand mushroom population genomics

museum collections and other repositories contain a vast amount of specimens associated with metadata detailing the locationhabitat and ecological observations of the specimen at the moment of collection since these specimens are biological tissues dnasequencing techniques can be used to study them however their application to fungi is still very limited one of such applications ispopulation genomics a field where fungal study is also severely lagging behind that of plants and animals the combination ofsequences from museum specimens and fresh material will allow us to study populations of two mushroomforming fungitrichaptum abietinum and phelopillus nigrolimitatus t abietinum is an abundant species that is emerging as a model for population studies with abundant information in scandinavia museum samples will allow us to detect potential changes in selective forces that have affected norwegian populations mainly associated with landscape changes over the xxth century p nigrolimitatus is a scandinavian nearly threatened species whose populations have been dwindling in association to land usechanges museum samples will allow us to compare past and current genetic diversity of norwegian populations which will helpinform conservation efforts the project will generate snp chips which will help future population and conservation studies by providing a reliable and costefficient analytical tool musheum will combine population genomic data with specimen metadata and ecological information to study selective pressures in the two species finally musheum will make use of the combined genome skimming data generated for the design of snp probes to generate de novo genome assemblies of the two species this advances will allow to repurpose data from population studies for the generation of reference assemblies
tayloring decoherence in large molecules

large molecules ie molecules with more than 10 or even 20 atoms have a huge potential to provide new data for the elaboration of new physics from probing dark matter models variations of fundamental constants or testing the standard model beyond what can be achieved by highenergy experiments conducted at large and very costly facilities however these large molecules can suffer from very complex couplings making highprecision measurements almost impossible once a certain number of atoms and thus of molecular complexity is reached when probing vibrations of the molecule spectroscopically in the ir frequency domain couplings between different vibrational modes of the same molecule can induce large linewidths and decoherence of the vibrational states these vibrational couplings are called intramolecular vibrational redistribution ivr in the physical chemistry litterature and are known since more than 40 years but a detailed understanding of these processes is still lacking progress in that field is thus of paramount importance for the development of new experiments involving large molecules for the advancement of physics and for the understanding of how vibrational energy is stored and can flow in a moleculethe project will explore experimentally ivr in large molecules with cuttingedge spectroscopic tools to progress in removing this major blockade in the use of large molecules to look for new physics probing ivr in a very detailed way is enabled by recent advances in the production of cold molecules and ultrahighresolution midinfrared spectroscopy these new techniques will allow me to develop and demonstrate a new methodology to study ivr at an unprecendented precision the main output will be a recipe to tailor ivr in molecules from the molecular structure pointofview as well as the demonstration of unparalleled spectroscopic resolution on molecules with more than 20 atoms

the vanishing third party access to justice procedural justice and substantive justice in the age of dispute resolution automation

courts without judges informal processes without mediators we are on the verge of a dramatic paradigm shift in our justice system from human to algorithmic dispute resolution while most of us perceive the delivery of justice as a human task courts and informal arenas worldwide are increasingly relying on online processes that employ algorithms in lieu of judges and mediators also artificial intelligence is more commonly used to support and predict judicial outcomes together these developments constitute dispute resolution automation dra what is still a nascent phenomenon accelerated by covid19 is certain to expand dramatically within and outside courts as our backlogged justice system seeks to transform the inefficient resolution and adjudication of cases and expand access to justice despite growth of dra our theories concepts and rules remain focused on the role of human third parties in reducing barriers to courts generating perceptions of procedural fairness and ensuring just outcomes the implications of the vanishing third party on justice have yet to be recognized studied conceptualized and theorized this project will fill this gap by offering a new theory of access to justice barriers procedural justice perceived fairness and substantive justice just outcomes for dra to that end i will 1 develop a normative framework for just dra 2 conduct a comprehensive empirical study of real data in four research sites in different countries france the netherlands the us and israel lab experiments on dra and interviews with designers and users of dra 3 generate a typology for the design of just automated processes across settings and devise model procedural rules for the adoption of dra in courts and 4 develop novel methods for the evaluation of dra

programming gaugeinvariant rydberg atom arrays

many stronglycorrelated phenomena in condensedmatter and highenergy physics from hightc superconductivity to quark confinement can be described by lattice gauge theories lgt field theories invariant under local transformations the immense computational complexity associated with solving lgt using classical computers hinders progress in these fields where many questions remain open although quantum computers can address these questions more efficiently than classical devices current quantum hardware is limited in the absence of error correction complicating the reach of a practical quantum advantage in the near termcodesigning both quantum hardware and software tailored to simulate lgt addressing nontrivial regimes while minimizing experimental resources is therefore a challenging but timely task rydberg atoms in tweezer arrays which have recently emerged as a powerful quantum simulation platform offer unique capabilities that can be harnessed in this direction on the one hand the strong rydberg interaction and the associated blockade mechanism naturally leads to emergent local symmetries on the other hand the possibility of controlling many internal atomic states as well as using fermionic atoms allows to locally encode and simulate nonabelian gauge fields and fermionic matter fields respectively minimizing resource overheadsprogram will investigate this hardwareefficient approach and develop quantum simulation protocols for lgt using rydberg atom arrays focusing on three main challenges i simulating nonequilibrium lgt dynamics in 2d and ii implementing nonabelian gauge symmetries as well as iii fermionic matter fields in a scalable manner the researcher will design these protocols using both analog digital and variational nearterm resources benchmark them in the presence of experimental errors and run some of them using existing quantum hardware
terahertz high resolution spectroscopy using driven optical resonators

spectroscopy is an important tool to understand molecular and atomic phenomena dual comb spectroscopy dcs and asynchronous optical sampling aosps are prominent techniques in infrared and terahertz range respectively both rely on dual frequency combs or dual fc and their limitations stem from the comb design necessitating a tradeoff between speed and resolution the spectral resolution is limited by the repetition rate of the fc the most common sources for fc are modelocked lasers and electrooptic modulators however due to technical peculiarities these techniques are not suited for low repetition rates leading most spectroscopy systems in the 100 mhz10ghz range tresor terahertz high resolution spectroscopy using driven optical resonators aims to showcase a novel optical platform based on ultrashort pulses in low repetition rate highq resonator to address the limitations inherent in fc based spectroscopy methods on the fundamental front i will investigate the generation of novel soliton formations such as super cavity solitons scs in high intrinsic loss resonator with large detuning so far scs in low repetition rate resonators have not been experimentally explored mainly because of the lack of a sufficiently precise perturbation to use the fc based on scs in the thz range pulses need to be amplified this will give rise to a new challenge related to sub200fs pulse amplification on the applied side by using fc based on scs tresor can improve the resolution and speed of current spectroscopy methods and give rise to new nonlinear measurement techniques despite these fundamental and applied reasons the experimental approach of tresor will overcome such challenges and enable the realization of highresolution spectroscopy in the thz range with performance beyond the state of art this project is a step forward in my career because it will act as a springboard towards a permanent research position and will allow me to lead a research group
