Analytic problems in Coarse Geometry and Geometric Group Theory (Coarse Analysis)

Start date: Oct 29, 2015, End date: Oct 28, 2019,

The overall goal of this proposal is a systematic study of C*-algebras related to coarse structures of metric spaces and discrete groups. The background theme is the interplay between analysis and coarse geometry. It addresses questions relating to exactness of discrete groups and spaces, Roe algebras and the Baum--Connes conjectures.The interplay between coarse and analytic properties is exemplif ...

Supernovae: Physics and Cosmology in the Next Decade (SPCND)

Start date: Jun 1, 2014, End date: May 31, 2019,

"Exploding stars, or supernovae, impact upon many diverse areas of astrophysics, from galaxy formation, to stellar evolution, to cosmology and studies of dark energy. I am playing a leading role in new, wide-field, high-cadence optical surveys that are revolutionising the study of supernovae, searching vast volumes of space, locating hundreds of events to study their demographics in detail, and un ...

Promoting Attainment of Responsible Research and Innovation in Science Education (PARRISE)

Start date: Jan 1, 2014, End date: Dec 31, 2017,

The overall aim of the EC call is building up a scientifically literate society, which enables its citizens to participate in the research and innovation process as part of Responsible Research and Innovation (RRI). This calls for democratic citizenship education, in which two educational approaches, often presented independently in schools, are integrated, viz. Inquiry-Based Science Education (IB ...

Low-cost paper-based microfluidic devices for the detection of waterborne pathogens (enVIRO)

Start date: Jun 1, 2014, End date: Nov 29, 2017,

The scientific aim of enVIRO is to develop novel low-cost paper-based microfluidic systems for the detection of waterborne pathogens. Norovirus and E. coli will be the exemplar targets as they are the primary agents of global gastrointestinal infections caused by contaminated drinking and bathing water. Three-dimensional microfluidic paper analytical devices (µPADs) will be implemented with isothe ...

A Quantitative Approach to Management and Design of Collective and Adaptive Behaviours (QUANTICOL)

Start date: Apr 1, 2013, End date: Mar 31, 2017,

The problem:The design of collective adaptive systems (CAS) must be supported by a powerful well-founded framework for modelling and analysis. CAS consist of a large number of heterogeneous entities with decentralised control and varying degrees of complex autonomous behaviour. These entities may be competing for shared resources even when collaborating to reach common goals. The pervasive but tra ...

Combining Optics and SDN In next Generation data centre Networks (COSIGN)

Start date: Jan 1, 2014, End date: Dec 31, 2016,

The role of Data Centres (DCs) is vital for the Future Internet. However, DC infrastructures are already stressed by data volumes and service provisioning and consumption trends. Emerging demands cannot be addressed by today's DCs and call for a massive redesign or even transformation of DC architectures.COSIGN proposes a new DC architecture empowered by advanced optical technologies and will demo ...

Real neurons-nanoelectronics Architecture with Memristive Plasticity (RAMP)

Start date: Nov 1, 2013, End date: Oct 31, 2016,

Information processing in classical 'von Neumann' architectures is less efficient compared to biological counterparts when dealing with ill-posed problems and noisy data. The reason is that the biological brain is configured differently and the key is its evolving structure, where connectivity elements between individual neurons, the synapses, undergo 'birth' and 'death' as well as strengthening ...

Gauge/gravity duality and its applications to condensed matter physics (GGravDCMPSoton)

Start date: Oct 1, 2014, End date: Sep 30, 2016,

The gauge/gravity duality conjecture asserts an equivalence between theories of gravity on a curved space and ordinary quantum field theories defined on the boundary of such spaces. This duality has become a powerful tool to study strongly interacting systems by use of a conjectured dual weakly coupled string/gravitational theory, allowing new computations that go beyond the standard perturbative ...

Holography for Ricci-flat and asymptotically flat spacetimes (RicciFlatHolography)

Start date: Oct 1, 2014, End date: Sep 30, 2016,

With this proposal the fellow intends to explore the AdS/Ricci-flat correspondence in order to understand and develop holography in Ricci-flat and asymptotically flat spacetimes. This correspondence is a `generalized dimensional reduction' that maps families of asymptotically anti-de Sitter (AdS) spacetimes (i.e. with a negative cosmological constant) to families of Ricci-flat spacetimes, solution ...

Supermassive black holes under the microscope: Revealing the dusty environment of AGN on parsec scales with IR and sub-mm interferometry (PARSECDUST)

Start date: Mar 1, 2014, End date: Feb 29, 2016,

The evolution of galaxies and their central supermassive black holes are intimately related. As such, it is of great interest to understand the active growth phase of these black holes and their influence on the surrounding host galaxies. I propose a project to study the outer, dusty region of mass accretion onto supermassive black holes with the objective to address the following open questions:* ...

Monitoring, Analysis and Visualisation of Open Data Catalogues, Hubs and Repositories (OpenDataMonitor)

Start date: Nov 1, 2013, End date: Oct 31, 2015,

Within a few years the idea of open data has spread throughout Europe and produced extensive changes especially in thinking about governmental data and how it can be used for public and private purposes. This has also led to a fractured landscape of open data resources, making it challenging to gain an overview. Even on a national level there is an unconstrained growth of regional open data reposi ...
