Moduli spaces of Differentials: Flat surfaces and interactions
This project studies new problems of dynamics and geometry on moduli spaces of differentials (also viewed as flat surfaces), by exploring their interactions with combinatorics, enumerative geometry, complex geometry and hyperbolic geometry.
Multi-modular Basis of Motor Adaptation and Learning
The cerebellum is a major brain structure with extensive output pathways both descending to motor effectors and ascending to the forebrain. One of its striking features is the organization in multiple specialized modules. Recently, the cerebellum has started to be recognized as a useful target for therapeutic transcranial stimulation. Yet, such empirical procedures are limited by the current lack of knowledge on how the cerebellar functional modules are recruited and coordinate their activity.
Elaboration of Functionalized Matrices for Uses in Skin Wound Healing and Regeneration
tissue layers. The world market for wound care — by 2021, the total wound market is projected to be worth [...] worth over $18.5 billion, with an average 2013-2021 CAGR over 7%. The use of active compounds with biocompatible
Dislocations and Resistances. Persecutions and Genocidal Violences of Roma, Sinti and Travellers in Western Europe, 1940-1946.
This project studies, following a comparative and transversal approach, the persecutions against the Roma and Sinti, designated as “Gypsies”, “Zigeuner”, “Zingari” or “Nomads” in the geographical arc including the Netherlands, Belgium, France, Italy and Occupied Slovenia. The cross-analysis of the stages and mechanisms of a persecution includes a study of the trajectories at the level of individuals and collectives, based on a survey that is both historical and ethnographic.

SPIRO-QUinolinophenothiazines as Efficient Semi-conducTors for single-layer phosphorescent OLEDs
To date, all the high efficiency Phosphorescent Organic Light-Emitting Diodes (PhOLEDs) are multi-layer devices, built on a stack of layers. Simplifying the multi-layers structure with the so-called Single-Layer PhOLEDs (SL-PhOLEDs), the simplest device only made of the electrodes and the emitting layer is a key step. However, high-efficiency SL-PhOLEDs are rarely reported, due to the lack of efficient host materials. SPIROQUEST aims to reach universal materials for high performance SL-PhOLEDs.
demographics of planets close to their birth place & their occurrence in the disk and the bar of our Galaxy.
Cold Worlds uses the gravitational microlensing technique to explore a unique niche: cold planets with masses as small as the Earth orbiting all types of stars (even stellar remnants), old planets in large orbits, free planets (i.e. not bound to a star) and even exolunes orbiting extra-solar planets.
Super-resolution imaging of bacterial division
Using complementary cellular and structural biology approaches, the DIVinHD project has provided information that allowed to better understand how, at the molecular scale, the assembly and activity of the cell wall synthesis machineries contribute to cell morphogenesis and division in the human pathogen Streptococcus pneumoniae. These studies have thus provided new and necessary knowledge for the discovery of new antibiotics.
Shared-Control Algorithms for Human/Multi-Robot Cooperation
The goal of MULTISHARED is to significantly advance the state-of-the-art in multi-robot autonomy and human-multi-robot interaction for allowing a human operator to intuitively control the coordinated motion of multi-UAV group, with a strong emphasis on the division of roles between multi-robot autonomy and human intervention/guidance for providing high-level commands to the group while being most aware of the group status via VR and haptics technology.
Regulatory networks governing craniofacial muscle diversity
Craniofacial malformations are among the most common human birth defects and have multiple etiologies that affect diverse tissues. The underlying genetic, developmental and clinical causes of these malformations are largely unknown. Therefore we aim to identify all of the cell types that give rise to craniofacial structures and the molecular regulators that lead to the establishment and morphogenesis of the various cell lineages in the head.
