the intermediate bodies of the roman cities sociability and agency of the middling groups in roman italy late republic 3rd c ad

inborc wants to design a more plural and complex image of the roman city to integrate and go beyond the classical vision based on the lite and characterised by a topdown approach as such it focuses on the social economic and political impact of middling groups in the city from the late republic to the 3rd c ad in order to do that the research is based on the study of the intermediate bodies of the cities social aggregational cores intermediate between the family and the city which are our best indicator of the civic action of this stratum of population the project will mainly focus on the epigraphical sources coming from the cities of roman italy however inborc is not geographically strictly limited but it is nourished by punctual parallels coming from the epigraphical documentation of roman provinces the main goals of this research are i analyse the sociability of these groups and ii study their agency in the civic lifethe principal outcome of the project will be a monograph built on a multidisciplinary approach involving epigraphy roman history sociology economic and urban history and archaeology as a support of the monograph i will provide digital open data of the inscriptions analysed in the text ancient texts will be encoded and enriched with metadata city people institutions etc using epidoc xml language in order to integrate new open linked data within existing european einfrastructures eg trismegistos edh edr these goals will be achieved by a unique combination of handson research training courses and workshops on scientific and complementary socalled soft skills facilitated by brown university anhima research center and the university of bologna the success of this project will allow me to assume fixed term tenure track position and eventually to obtain the position of associate professor at unibo
trustbydesign strong security arguments for symmetric key cryptography

symmetric cryptographic primitives protect a large percentage of todays data whether in transit or storage this trend is going to increase even more in the future consequently new domainspecific ciphers are needed with significant performance benefits for areas such as memoryencryption multiparty computation or cryptocurrencies great progress has been made regarding their performance less progress has been made for security arguments that seek to proof their resilience against malignant attacks indeed most of the security analysis we apply for symmetric ciphers is based on false assumptions and most attacks trying to break those ciphers are flawed as a consequence it takes several years to build the necessary trust in the security of any new symmetric cryptographic primitives to be deployed and used in times of fast innovation cycles where emerging applications are in constant need for new tailored symmetric cryptographic solutions those slow design cycles of symmetric cryptographic primitives are prohibitive and have to be shortened within the project i plan to enable stronger security arguments and toolbased bounds on keyrecovery approaches which will accelerate the design process this will open the path to a new design strategy of trustworthy by design ciphers and contribute to readytouse and highlysecure symmetric cryptography suitable to satisfy the needs of future applicationsto this end i will analyze fundamental properties of symmetric cryptographic primitives especially related to their representationderive modular security arguments develop a softwareassisted approach to optimize and verify the keyrecovery part of attacksdesign an efficient cacheencryption algorithm to exemplify the potential of the new design framework if successful symtrust will reshape the whole process of designing symmetric cryptographic ciphers to produce trustworthy by design primitives with the aim to shorten the timetodeploy
understanding the nature of the low energy excess in cryogenic detectors to discover light dark matter

although numerous evidences from cosmology and astrophysics indicate the existence of dark matter dm which constitutes about 85 of the whole matter in the universe its intrinsic nature is still today one of the major mysteries in physics the lack of the discovery of the socalled weakly interacting massive particles is shifting the attention to additional wellmotivated theoretical models that predict dm particles with lower masses to test these new extremely sensitive direct detection dm experiments have been developed which are now starting to explore energies so low that were considered impossible to reach until just a couple of years ago but these experiments are now observing unpredicted excesses of events mostly incompatible with a dm signal in the previously unexplored low energy region and this irreducible background dramatically limits their sensitivity to new lowmass signals in this project i propose a novel analysis strategy that will lead to the understanding of the nature of the low energy excess providing invaluable information to the european and international experiments working on this field i will also lead and coordinate the data taking campaign necessary for a positive outcome which will employ worldleading sensitive cryogenic devices developed by the supercdms collaboration installed in the cryogenic underground test at the worldclass underground snolab laboratory the project will be completed in a leading research group to which i will bring knowledge on how to efficiently operate a cryogenic detector as well as on how to run a dilution refrigerator this work will extend my experience show my research competencies and independence enhancing the development of my career as a researcher
debris detection using star trackers

the project develops a star tracker that is capable of detecting and tracking space debris in orbit and sets up a system that gathers data coming from multiple star trackers a star tracker is an optical sensor on board of a satellite that takes and processes star images to determine the spacecraft orientation because the star tracker is optimized to detect bright dots it is also very well suited to detect space debris that reflects light typically nonstar data is discarded in a star tracker but in this project algorithms are developed that process nonstar signals to verify if they correspond to space debris once detected the star tracker characterizes the orbit and size of the debris this functionality is added to the star tracker which retains its primary function of determining the attitude a database system will be set up to collect data from the different star trackers in orbit and process it such that it can be fed into ssa databases of partnering organizations
exploiting the untapped potential of fruit tree wild diversity for sustainable agriculture

crop wild relatives cwr are wild plant taxa closely related to a crop they represent an important source of genetic diversity for the improvement of agronomic traits in the context of the one health initiative temperate fruit trees are essential for human nutrition and health yet cwr resources have hitherto been underused moreover fruit tree long lifespan and a current production dominated by a few cultivars make them particularly vulnerable to the effects of global changes to address this challenge the fruitdiv project will monitor characterise use and conserve the diversity of emblematic fruit tree cwr with a particular emphasis on malus pyrus and prunusto better characterise the genetic and phenotypic diversity of cwr fruit trees and identify favourable traits for future introgression into cultivars fruitdiv will use a combination of floristic ethnogeography and population genomics on genebanks and historical european hotspots of diversity we will then develop new multiomicsbased breeding strategies that combine markerassisted introgression for traits of interest eg resilience resistance to pests and diseases fruit quality with pangenomic prediction and a reduction of cwrassociated genetic loadin addition to breeding programs fruitdiv will also work with networks of farmers and associations to help characterise cwr progeny in various pedoclimatic conditions in europe an europeanwide online platform that provides genotyping and phenotyping data for free will be implemented to promote the use of cwr genitors by breeders and farmers and help disseminate plant material of interest for various usages and cultivation systemsoverall the fruitdiv multiactor approach involving geneticists forestry officers germplasm curators farmers and citizens will foster the in and exsitu conservation of cwr and promote sustainable agricultural practices across europe

increasing reproducibility through the cocreation of interventions that support a transparent and trustworthy research ecosystem

trustparency starts from the assumption that what scientists need to trust is that the mertonian process of organised scepticism can operate allowing scientific knowledge to selfcorrect efficiently by extending this assumption we argue that scientists and all other research stakeholders should be open to adopt innovative interventions to the extent that they can trust that these are developed deployed assessed and corrected transparently and collaboratively trustparencys core guiding principle clearly reflects the above argument specifically by advocating for a maximally informed contextsensitive collaborative democratic and transparent approach to facilitating the development of interventions that enhance reproducibility by research performing organisations research funding organisations learned societies and publishers these types of institutions will be empowered to develop their own policy guidelines in the form of a reproducibility promotion plan rpp which will be a sequence of concrete steps to transfer the practices that promote reproducibility to their everyday work and to monitor their effectiveness with mechanisms customised to their specific needs the codevelopment activities of the project will be based with the concerted engagement of the projects stakeholder advisory board sab which is composed among others of 10 national reproducibility networks rns the sab will actively participate in the threestage codevelopment plan of the projects interventions a development b pilot testing by 9 institutions and c validationfinalisation the projects cocreation activities will be applied in tandem with a wide and structured discussion facilitated by the highly innovative comcensus platform from day one trustparency will establish a reproducibility community and invite all stakeholders with stakes in fostering reproducibility to join through an open call distributed via the professional networks
acoustic and mechanical metamaterials for biomedical and energy harvesting applications

metacmed aims to link basic research on acoustic and mechanical metamaterials mms to health and wellbeing issues mms have some remarkable properties though to make them properly applicable to the targeted applications their design must be carefully tailored this will be achieved by bringing together a range of supervisory expertise and creating a network of 10 doctoral candidates dcs some of whom will work in the industry the team includes beneficiaries and associated partners who if working separately would not be able to make the planned advances in research and innovation dcs will each consider ways in which human health can be improved using mms eg improvement in the resolution of biomedical ultrasound imaging for eg cancer diagnostics the design of better spinal implants monitoring of bone healing the use of insoles to aid human walking another area of interest is to develop mms that can be used for energy harvesting to better power eg medical devices and reduce reliance on conventional power sources these are all backed up by fundamental studies into the mms themselves to provide the background to achieve these tasks the balance of the network has thus been carefully considered in terms of basic science and applications with input from industry in areas such as mms fabrication and exploitation associated with the above is a strong set of training events where the basic features of acoustic and mechanical mms and their applications will be considered together with softskills training such as writing presenting entrepreneurship gender balance issues stress management regular meetings of the dcs at various member locations will foster collaboration and this will be reinforced by a carefullyselected set of secondments a proper management system for both running the network effectively and properly monitoring and supporting phd progression is built into the proposal ensuring that successful outcomes are achieved by dcs
