Indo European Collaboration on Moduli Spaces (MODULI)
Date du début: 1 janv. 2014, Date de fin: 31 déc. 2017,
"This proposal is concerned with a joint Indo-European presearch programme on the field of moduli spaces. Moduli spaces are basic and central objects that emerge in the most natural classification problems in geometry. Their importance has been emphasized over the years due to the relation of these spaces with areas of mathematics so diverse as algebraic geometry, differential geometry, topology, ...

Microbial life under extreme energy limitation (MICROENERGY)
Date du début: 1 avr. 2012, Date de fin: 31 mars 2017,
"Our aim is to understand basic functions of the predominant microbial life on our planet: anaerobic communities buried in the seabed and subsisting at the energetic limit for cellular processes. An estimated 90% of all prokaryotic microorganisms on Earth, comprising 1/10 of all living biomass, exist in the deep subsurface biosphere with a cellular energy flux that is orders of magnitude below any ...

Adaptations of the ATP synthesis machinery in bacteria and archaea to conditions of extreme energy limitation in the deep subsurface (ATP_adapt_low_energy)
Date du début: 1 oct. 2014, Date de fin: 10 févr. 2017,
Microbes in the deep sub-seafloor have recently been found to survive under unprecedented conditions of extreme energy limitation. I aim to identify microbes in these deep subsurface communities with central energy metabolism that is adapted to these conditions. A combination of single-cell genomics and metagenomics will be used to identify members of the microbial community adapted to low energy ...

Comparative studies of inbreeding effects on evolutionary processes in non-model animal populations (ECOGENOMICINBREEDING)
Date du début: 1 janv. 2012, Date de fin: 31 déc. 2016,
Comparative studies of inbreeding and evolution in non-model animal populations: a research proposal directed towards integrating ecological and evolutionary research on inbreeding. Specifically, my aim is to apply novel ecogenomics tools in the study of evolutionary consequences of inbreeding in non-model animal populations. At present, our understanding of inbreeding is dominated by studies of a ...

Proteomic explanations for the adaptive significance of kin recognition in subsocial spiders (PROKIN)
Date du début: 15 mai 2014, Date de fin: 14 mai 2016,
Kin selection theory predicts that cooperation should evolve among kin to reduce the costs of helping and the incentive to cheat. Altruistic behaviour provides individuals with either direct or indirect fitness benefits. As a necessary prerequisite, individuals need to recognise kin to direct their help towards them. Thus, kin recognition is a key feature of many social animals. Ultimate benefits ...

Energy and carbon food webs of the deep sub-seafloor biosphere (DEEP CARBON FLUX)
Date du début: 1 oct. 2013, Date de fin: 4 nov. 2015,
Vast communities of microorganisms in the sub-seafloor biosphere are responsible for the degradation of deeply buried organic matter (OM) and drive complex metabolic processes of OM mineralization. It remains unknown how the microorganisms subsist at the available energetic limits for life with extremely slow turnover. This project aims to determine the energetic and kinetic controls on the major ...

Mathematical Problems in Superconductivity and Bose-Einstein Condensation (CondMath)
Date du début: 1 sept. 2008, Date de fin: 31 août 2013,
This project in mathematical physics is concerned with the mathematical understanding of superconductivity and Bose-Einstein condensation. These physical phenomena are the subject of intense research activity both in the experimental and theoretical physics communities and in mathematics. However, despite a lot of effort, many key questions lack a mathematically rigorous answer. The ambition of th ...
