Atmospheric Chemistry of the Suburban Forest Airborne Observations – ACROSS-AO
The ACROSS Airborne Observations (ACROSS-AO) project, through measurements of atmospheric composition and properties using instruments staged on an aircraft platform, seeks to greatly enhance understanding of the evolution of the composition of mixed urban/suburban/rural air masses and lead to development of quantitative new knowledge. Data collected during ACROSS-AO provide tests of chemical processes.
Atomically-Thin Opto-Electro-Mechanical deviceS – ATOEMS
improved performances achieved by exploiting physical features and proximity effects that are inherent to 2DM [...] excitons in vdWH with radiatively-limited emission features. O4) Designing a unique opto-electro-mechanical
Automatic Endoscopic Scene Assessment for Safety Checkpoint Validation in the Operating Room – AI4ORSafety
understanding of the prediction, a much needed feature in clinical AI. Our key contribution will be to
Benzothioxanthene and derivatives: promising building blocks for organic electronics – BTXI-APOGEE
Mainly used for its emissive properties (in only a few studies), BTXI has gone completely unnoticed within the community working in the field of organic electronics. Based on preliminary work by the group, the BTXI-APOGEE project aims at exploring different synthetic methodologies, thus leading to the characterization of new derivatives that will be subsequently embedded into various devices such as OLEDs and organic solar cells.
Biobased phononic materials (BPM) – biophoNonics
phononic materials. We will control the phononic features with the phenotype of the plant using genetic
Biomimetic collagen tubular constructs for vascular and tracheal grafting – MIMETUBE
fibres as well as stabilization of the macroscopic features required for surgical application. By providing [...] properties, including geometrical and mechanical features, MIMETUBE aims at dramatically increasing the
Bringing the brain of Homo erectus and Neandertals back to life – PaleoBRAIN
Palaeoneurology is fascinating but is a debated field in relation with the complex nature of the analysed material. The brain never fossilises, leaving scientists with only the shallow imprints that it creates on the internal cranial surface. However, the correspondence between these records of convolutional patterns and details of the surface of the brain remains to be demonstrated in living humans. Only then can we apply this knowledge to study hominin fossils brain organisation and cognition.
Casimir forces in two dimensional materials – CAT

Cerebrospinal Fluid-contacting neurons: a novel sensory system to modulate spinal motor activity in Mammals – MotoNeuroMod
Characterise the properties of cerebrospinal fluid contacting neurons and their connectivity to demonstrate function.
Characterization of new beta-amino acid-containing secondary métabolites in bacteria – BetaAAmetabolites
Recently, a considerable number of secondary metabolites containing non-proteinogenic amino acids have been described in bacteria. Studies of their biosynthetic gene clusters in pathogenic bacteria have led to the description of a new family of autonomous adenylation domains involved in the incorporation of ß-amino acids into these secondary metabolites that a genetic approach has shown to be involved in bacterial virulence.
