user: Describe the novelty, innovation potential and advance beyond the state of the art for 'Simulation of directed self-assembly of nanocrystals' (NANOSYM).

assistant: **Innovation**

The aim of the proposed research is to use novel Monte Carlo simulation techniques in order to gain insight into the factors that control the nucleation and growth of crystals of charged nano-colloids. Recent experiments (Shevchenko et al, Nature 439, 55(2006)) have shown that it is possible to grow a wealth of different crystal structures from binary mixtures of charged nano-colloids. However, the factors that determine which crystals will grow and which ones will remain microscopic in size are, at present, not understood. It is clear that both the charge and the size ratio of the nano-colloids plays a role. We aim to use a combination of different simulation techniques to predict the stability and nucleation barrier of such nano-colloidal crystals. Understanding these  factors is important because  nano-particle crystals can find applications in nanoelectronics, plasmonics, high-density data storage, catalysis, and biomedical materials. In our study, we will developed suitable models for the interaction between the nano-colloids. Subsequently, we will use a combination of various computational schemes (umbrella sampling, parallel tempering, forward flux sampling), to compute the barrier that determines the rate of crystal nucleation and the free energy of possible (meta)stable intermediates.

user: Draft the 'Objectives and Scope' section of a Seventh Framework proposal for the project 'The role of the basal forebrain in attention and learning'.

assistant: **Objectives**

The basal forebrain (BF) constitutes a major neuromodulatory center, providing extensive projections to the entire forebrain, including all of cortex. Mounting evidence demonstrates that these projections play a key role in cognitive functions, including learning and attention. Damage or deterioration of BF in humans leads to severe cognitive impairments, such as dementia and executive dysfunction. Given the association of BF with higher cognitive functions and a host of disease states, surprisingly little is known about how it accomplishes these intricate tasks. This is largely due to technical challenges because BF neurons expressing the neuromodulatory transmitter acetylcholine are intermingled with a parallel inhibitory (GABAergic) projection system within a confined anatomical area and traditional techniques do not allow separating these two projection systems in behaving animals.The Kepecs group at CSHL have two techniques that are uniquely suitable to tackle this challenge. First, they successfully adapted the quantitative psychophysical methods of primate neuroscience—the current gold standard in research on the neural mechanisms of cognition—for use in mice, enabling us to employ molecular-genetic tools. Second, they developed an “optogenetic tagging” technique to selectively record from and control genetically identified neurons.With these methods I propose to study how different BF subsystems support sustained attention and spatial learning. I will record from identified BF neurons to establish the moment-to-moment correlation between neural activity and behavioral measures (e.g. reaction time). Gaining control over identified neurons at high temporal precision will also enable me to establish their necessity and sufficiency for behavioral functions on a tria

user: Explain the overall concept, methodology and approach for the project 'Smart Restoration with Particle Infused Repointing' (S-RePaIR).

assistant: **Concept**

The objective of the proposed project is the development of a damage sensing material for application in structures of architectural heritage. This material comprises lime mortar infused with conductive carbon nano-particles, applicable for repair and strengthening of historic masonry buildings through repointing of mortar joints.The proposed material is envisaged as possessing improved strength and ductility, which are critical in enhancing the durability of existing buildings. It relies on the electrical conductivity of the nano-particles for the detection of damage and the measurement of deformation in masonry structural elements.The project begins with the optimisation of a nano-particle infused lime mortar mix. Subsequently, the characterization of the enhancement of the mechanical properties of the material is performed. This is followed by the development of a quantitative damage and deformation measurement protocol. The project is concluded by the testing of the material in full scale structural members. Through the up-scaling of novel materials and self-sensing technology, it encompasses a lab to industry transition.In addition to being a cost-effective means of structural damage monitoring, the material is expected to moderately enhance the structural behaviour of masonry members, while adhering to the principles of intervention on historic structures. In light of the danger to the integrity and durability of historic buildings due to the peaking of induced earthquake and the increase of ground movement in European urban centres, the project is deemed timely and potentially deeply impactful.The project is expected to greatly enhance the researcher's prospects for an academic career, in addition to sharpening his technical and research grant proposal writing sk

user: Compose the 'Concept and Approach' section for a Seventh Framework proposal on 'Reductive Transformations of Carbon Oxides'.

assistant: **Concept**

The development of new approaches to the activation and functionalisation of carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide is a highly topical and significant challenge for chemistry. The use of biomass and coal derived carbon monoxide as a fundamental building block for simple organic molecules is a key objective in energy research, and the latter, coupled with global warming considerations, dictate that new ways to both activate and derivatise carbon dioxide must also be found. The programme of work described in this proposal tackles these problems through experience and excellence in organometallic chemistry and small molecule activation. It is centred around three closely integrated and synergistic strands. The synthetic work in Strand 1 focuses on reductive assembly of carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide on low oxidation state metal centres to build simple organic molecules and rings stoichiometrically. The work in this strand will also be driven by developing a detailed understanding of the mechanisms of these reactions through experiment. A key feature of this proposal is the computational work, which is the subject of Strand 2, in which theory and modelling will be used in an iterative way to predict and inform the experimental synthetic and mechanistic work in Strand 1. Strand 3 will establish the underlying redox properties of these systems using electrochemical techniques, in order to ultimately to generate systems which will catalytically generate organic molecules from carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide. The program of work described in this proposal, which will deliver stoichiometric and catalytic recycling of carbon oxides, is at the frontier of future sustainable chemical technology. It is therefore of high risk, but ultimately extremely high reward.

user: Write the concept and methodology overview for 'ASSISTED LIVING TECHNOLOGIES FOR THE HEALTH TOURISM SECTOR' under Horizon 2020.

assistant: **Concept**

The ALHTOUR project aims to strengthen and stimulate scientific excellence, and innovation capacity in technologies for independent living, applied to the health tourism at UL (Portugal) , by preparing for the set-up of a  “Health Tourism Living Lab”, identified as a key driver for territorial development. The Twinning action will activate a process of knowledge transfer which leverages on academic excellence of KUL (Belgium), UM (Netherlands) and UNIMC (Italy), as well as on complementarities and synergies among Smart Specialization Strategies (SSS) of the 4 regions involved. In this way, ALHTOUR will help strengthening the triple helix cooperation skills of UL and supports SSS implementation in  the UL region. As a result, this twinning could become an example of territorial development for other regions and knowledge organisations in Europe.To achieve these objectives, ALHTOUR  is developed in two action phases characterised by: - a multidisciplinary approach, supported by social science and humanities disciplines;- a constant and active involvement of different stakeholders and the business community;- a mutual learning and cooperation process, to benefit all partnering institutions.The plan of collaborative activities includes: staff exchanges, academic symposiums, Job shadowing and cross functional mentoring, joint business seminars, lunch & learn events, summer school, Venture Lab on health tourism.With regards to the Work Programme, ALTHOURT makes a contribution to the priority given to ‘personalising health and care’ as a form of responding to the ‘Health, demographic change and well-being’ societal challenge. Synergies are relevant also within Smart cities and communities. Finally, ALTHOUR is in line with the European Innovation Partnership on Active and Healt

user: Describe the novelty, innovation potential and advance beyond the state of the art for 'Quantum Physics Fundamental and Applied Research' (QUFAR).

assistant: **Innovation**

The training site Quantum Physics Fundamental and Applied Research offers the possibility to apply for PhD or shorter periods at the Laboratories Kastler-Brossel. Marie Curie Fellowships concerning several domains of great interest in modern quantum physics are proposed. The themes proposed to the fellows range from ultra cold atoms and Einstein-Einstein condensation to cavity quantum electrodynamics, study and manipulation of quantum fluctuations, metrology of simple systems, Colombian system dynamics, and quantum optics. Some important applications of such fundamental issues are also developed, like quantum treatment of information, experimental study of optical micro- and structures-structures, Magnetic Resonance Imaging with polarized helium, study of biological molecules. For all these subjects, the training will include both theoretical and experimental investigation. The proposed host institution, LaboratoireKastler-Brossel, has pioneered since the 1950 important advancements in the field of light-matter interaction, from the seminal work of Kessler on optical pumping to the many recent developments, as for instance the work of Cohen-Tannoudji's team on laser cooling. The two Nobel prizes attributed to these two group leaders in 1966 and 1997 prove both the exceptional scientific tradition and the outstanding present level of the laboratory. In addition to that, the laboratory has strong links with several European and non-European institutions, giving the fellows the possibility to establish their scientific formation at an international level; our proposal intends to contribute efficiently to increase and develop cooperations at the European level.

user: Explain the overall concept, methodology and approach for the project 'Spectral gaps in interacting quantum systems' (GAPS).

assistant: **Concept**

Interactions in a many body quantum system are encoded in a Hamiltonian, where the physical intuition that particles can only interact with those which are closeby is formally imposed as a local structure in the Hamiltonian, and homogeneity in space is imposed by a translational invariant structure on a given regular lattice in one, two or three dimensions. The first main aim of this proposal is to characterize the existence of a uniform (with the system size) lower bound on the gap between the two lowest eigenvalues of a given local translational invariant Hamiltonian.There are many reasons which motivate this study, coming from different fields, and hence many potential applications. We will concentrate here on those coming from quantum information theory and from condensed matter physics and mainly, as the second main aim of this proposal, on classifying the different possible quantum phases arising in this type of models.

user: Compose the 'Concept and Approach' section for a Seventh Framework proposal on 'The PharMEA Platform: Multi-Electrode Array technology based platform for industrial pharmacology and toxicology drug screening'.

assistant: **Concept**

The project PharMEA is based on the technology platform of multi-electrode arrays, which have been widely used for electrophysiological experiments on neuronal and cardiac tissues. Some of the key advantages of MEA technology include ease of use, non-invasive measurements and simultaneous multi-site recording & stimulation capability. Despite these key advantages, MEA technology utilization has remained largely confined in academic research institutions, primarily due to the low throughput of currently available MEA-based tools. The PharMEA project addresses these shortcomings by developing novel MEA tools and applications that will significantly increase throughput of MEA experiments, facilitate MEA experiments on various culture models, as well as associated applications tailored for the drug discovery industry. Specifically, the new MEA tools will increase the number of channels or measurement sites for simultaneous recording and stimulation from about 120 channels today to 1024 channels, along with the corresponding intelligent data handling and processing strategies. Furthermore, the PharMEA project will develop and automate biological assay protocols that are common in ion-channel based drug discovery activities, as we this will add significant value to and bring out the benefit of the proposed tools. Altogether, the results of this project will accelerate the uptake of MEA tools in the drug discovery industry, thereby significantly increasing the market opportunity and competitive edge of the various sponsoring SMEs in the lucrative drug discovery industry.

user: Write the 'Expected Impact' section for the project 'Greek Homonationalism: Entanglement of Sexual Politics with Issues of Race and Nationalism in the Case of Lesbian and Gay Movements and Queer Activist Groups in Greece' (HomoPolitics), addressing dissemination and exploitation.

assistant: **Impact**

Contemporary lesbian, gay and queer rights movements in Europe occupy a vital role in local, national and international politics, mobilising a wide range of diverse sub-groups and interests. In light of transnational migration, investigating who is included and who is excluded within these movements is a critical project. Focusing specifically on the case of Greek lesbian and gay rights movements and the recently emergent queer activist groups, the research goal of HomoPolitics is to address, through the use of innovative qualitative methodologies, the entanglement of sexual politics with issues of race and nationalism. It asks: what narratives, images, symbols and representations do Greek lesbian and gay movements and queer activist groups utilise in order to assert their rights to citizenship and who is left out of the imagined “us” they construct? Approaching the well-established lesbian and gay movements as distinct from the newly formed queer groups, the project adopts an intersectional and interdisciplinary perspective in order to explore unequal power relations and practices of exclusion within the movements and groups themselves. Indeed, this is a timely and urgent undertaking since a large number of immigrants, refugees and asylum-seeking populations have arrived in Greece, some of them making sexuality-based refugee or asylum claims. In this light, by analysing attempts at the integration of gay, lesbian and queer immigrants, refugees and asylum seekers into the Greek society, the project aligns with one of the cross-cutting priorities of H2020−Migration. Additionally, it highlights an issue being expected to impact on Greek society in the coming decades−Migration and demographic dynamics challenging European societies (see Horizon 2020: Work Programme 2018-20

user: Compose the 'State of the Art and Innovation' section for a Seventh Framework proposal on 'Exploring Quantum Entanglement using Spins in Diamond'.

assistant: **Innovation**

We propose to create and detect quantum entanglement between a single spin in the solid state and a single photon and in a second step entanglement between two distant spins. This experiment will be realized using Nitrogen-Vacancy (NV) centers in diamond, that are exceptionally well suited for this due to their very long spin coherence time and a strong and stable optical transition that allows spin-photon mapping. An NV center in a superposition of spin states will be optically excited, and the subsequently spontaneously emitted photon will have a frequency that is entangled with the NV center’s spin. This entanglement will be detected using correlation measurements, and thus requires high-fidelity coherent control and readout of single spins. Entanglement of distant spins will be realized via interference of indistinguishable photons originating from two distant NV centers. Successful generation of long-distance entanglement constitutes a milestone challenge for quantum information processing in the solid state. The proposed experiment combines state-of-the art methods from quantum optics, magnetic resonance and nanofabrication and provides an excellent opportunity for the researcher to deepen and diversify his experimental skills. This training will allow the researcher to reach professional maturity and carry out an independent line of research.

user: Write the 'Expected Impact' section for the project 'A MOLECULAR, GENOMICS AND GENETIC ANALYSIS OF NEW STEM CELL FORMATION DURING ROOT MORPHOGENESIS' (2007-2013), addressing dissemination and exploitation.

assistant: **Impact**

Stem cells are indispensable for development and growth in all multicellular organisms. In plants, stem cells formed embryonically generate new organs and tissues throughout their whole life, but besides plants specify new stem cells as part of their normal development to form lateral organs such as lateral roots. My previous research has identified a novel regulatory mechanism, the root clock (Moreno-Risueno et al. (2010) Science 329: 1306) that controls different developmental processes and by which root cells are selected to be specified as new stem cells in the model plant Arabidopsis thaliana. This research proposal focuses on understanding how new stem cell populations are selected and specified to become new stem cells by the root clock. In order to explore the transcriptional complexity and regulators that underlie this morphogenetic process I will use genomic, systems biology and genetic approaches. The results derived from this research will help to further understand the complex regulation that determines plant architecture and to establish paradigms of how stem cell specification and activity is controlled. Applications important for plant growth and nutrition, such as manipulation of anchorage, water and nutrient uptake, etc. may be derived from this basic research.The Curie Reintegration Grant would allow me to substantially improve the quality of the results, and subsequently the scientific quality and relevance of the research project. This would benefit my scientific career facilitating my lasting professional integration in the European Research Area, after my arrival from Duke University in USA. The activities derived from my research and integration, such as establishment of collaborations, transference of knowledge, and spread of my research results
