intercolonial public protest and print across india and korea c 19101947

intercol investigates a moment of mass mobilisation at the start of the twentieth century when several nonviolent protests erupted across the world like in contemporary demonstrations people marched on the streets to fight for a shared idea of justice which for the early twentieth century demonstrators targeted empires and colonialism rather than studying these mass protests within a national framework intercol excavates how nonviolent anticolonial protests were viewed across the colonies to this end it brings together two colonies of two different empires that underwent parallel processes of decolonisationindia and korea although indian and korean anticolonial actors shared similar political aspirations and methods to challenge the british and japanese empires respectively their interaction mostly took an intellectual form rather than physical organisation of an alliance they debated the events and ideas unfolding across borders and incorporated them into their own assessment of anticolonial tactics and world politics intercol uncovers these intercolonial references by examining the receptions of the korean manse movement in india and the indian satyagraha movement in korea by bringing to the surface the heterogeneity of intercolonial references expressed in hindi korean and english newspapers political pamphlets and letters of historical actors intercol lays the foundation for a new interdisciplinary subfieldintercolonial publicthat offers a new approach to understanding the global anticolonial moment in the early twentieth century the twentyfour months of the fellowship will be dedicated to outlining the parameters of an intercolonial public testing the benefits and limits of intercoloniality as method and applying the implication of intercol to contemporary debates on democracy in asia where india and korea are increasingly growing closer

nanobubbles stabilization for cleaning applications

bulk nanobubbles ie bubbles with a submicrometer size are believed to have a diverse range of potential applications in fields such as waste treatment cleaning and purification technologies biomedicine food processing drag reduction sonoreactors and sonocatalysis however rigorous scientific evidence on how bulk nanobubbles bnbs may remain stably in solution is to date not existent a number of methods for bnbs generation using mechanical chemical or electrochemical approaches have been reported but very few studies deal with confirming their gaseous nature in nearly all research papers the size distribution of the bnbs is obtained from laser scattering which can not discriminate bubbles form pollutant droplets or nanoparticles that lead to considerable discussion on stabilized bnbs existence recently we have shown that laser cavitation is a clean way to produce bnbs while acoustic assisted bubble detection demonstrated the gaseous nature of the observed objects that will constitute the main experimental strategy in the proposed project the overall objective is to establish scientific basis for bulk nanobubbles research by providing conclusive answers to fundamental questions like what is the underlying physical mechanics for which such small bubbles may remain stably suspended in liquids for long times

in the next decade the experiments at cerns large hadron collider lhc will provide us with measurements of astounding precision by shrinking experimental uncertainties to the level of 1 these will be crucial to probe the fundamental laws of nature at high energies indeed small deviations between measurements and predictions of the standard model would signal the presence of new physics to exploit the potential of the lhc it is imperative that theoretical predictions will match 1 accuracy in this context quantum chromodynamics qcd poses one of the major challanges due to the relatively large qcd coupling constant perturbation theory must be pushed to the frontier of thirdorder corrections or nexttonexttonextto leading order n3lo in addition due to the multiscale nature of qcd processes perturbative corrections are enhanced by large logarithms of the scale ratios which require to resum the perturbative seriesthis project will provide new methodologies for qcd calculations at high precision and stateoftheart results for two complementary classes of enhanced contributions one are the collinear logarithms which govern the scale dependence of the parton distribution functions pdfs building upon a breakthrough discovery that i achieved in multiloop renormalisation i will compute the n3lo evolution of the pdfs which addresses one of the largest sources of theoretical uncertainties at the lhc and enables qcd phenomenology to reach 1 accuracyanother class of enhancements known as highenergy logarithms arises when the centreofmass energy of the collision is much larger than the momentum transfer scale i will tackle the factorisation of the nexttonexttoleading logarithms nnlls in multileg amplitudes building on recent progress in the calculation of multileg amplitudes and on a new approach that i developed to disentangle the building blocks of highenergy factorisation
light emitting silicon germanium

our vision is to revolutionize information and quantum technologies by blending photonic and electronic functionality onto a single chip this longstanding challenge has remained unattainable because chips fabricated by mainstream silicon technology cannot emit light computer chips would be much faster and consume far less energy if they would operate with light in addition optical functionality will be transformative for quantum computation since silicon technologies are by far the most scalable allowing the connection of millions of quantum bits using light we envision to realize lightemitting chips by changing the most fundamental property of a given material the way in which the atoms are arranged in space hereby we explore a novel material hexagonal sige with an atomic arrangement that differs from the natural cubic material rendering it optically active we will understand light emission mechanisms in the classical and quantum regimes when many few and even single photons are generated on demand moreover we will elucidate the optical and electrical properties of quantum structures aiming for landmark experiments each of which can open a new research field i a sigebased laser which demonstrates the photonic potential of the material and is a device directly relevant for optical communication on a chip ii a sige quantum light source which uniquely combines the stability of the quantum state with optical functionality and iii spin quantum bits that can be rapidly manipulated upscaled and are longlived due to the expected material properties in the ultimate experiments we connect the advantageous optoelectronic properties of this new material system and investigate i active photonic circuits in which light is switched by light and ii the transduction of a static electronic quantum state spin into a propagating photonic state to connect distant qubits

systematic and computeraided performance certification for numerical optimization

numerical optimization is a fundamental tool with a growing impact in many disciplines from science to industry many of its successes are due to theoretical advances which are key to developing trust in numerical algorithms while trust is nonnegotiable in many applications the complexity level of modern and future problems makes it very hard for theory to keep up with efficient proposals arguably worse while both theory and experimental practice are key to the field their respective recommendations often conflict with each other and the gap between theory and practice gets embarrassingly largethe main objective of this proposal is to push forward the theoretical foundations of algorithmic optimization to drastically reduce the gap between fundamental theoretical understanding and practical scenarios to achieve this we will develop principled and systematic approaches to algorithmic analyses as well as computeraided performance certification tools whereas my recent works show that such techniques already allow going far beyond the surprisingly few classical templates for algorithmic analysis they have currently very limited applicability beyond simple scenarios we will largely broaden the techniques to develop and study modern algorithms with working guarantees that can i scale to unprecedented problem and data sizes ii adapt to common problem structures and iii be deployed on modern massively parallel computing environments on the way this project will allow for simplified certification and validation of existing theory an absolute necessity in this era of massive scientific productionoutcomes of casper will include symbolical and numerical algorithmic certification and development tools as well as algorithms with unprecedented working guarantees the tools will be released as opensource libraries and algorithms validated on key benchmarks that include challenging machine learning and robotic tasks
