Nitride-based nanostructured novel thermoelectric thin-film materials (NINA)
Date du début: 1 oct. 2013, Date de fin: 30 sept. 2018,
"My recent discovery of the anomalously high thermoelectric power factor of ScN thin films demonstrates that unexpected thermoelectric materials can be found among the early transition-metal and rare-earth nitrides. Corroborated by first-principles calculations, we have well-founded hypotheses that these properties stem from nitrogen vacancies, dopants, and alloying, which introduce controllable s ...

Genetics and epigenetics of animal welfare (GENEWELL)
Date du début: 1 mars 2013, Date de fin: 28 févr. 2018,
"Animal welfare is a topic of highest societal and scientific priority. Here, I propose to use genomic and epigenetic tools to provide a new perspective on the biology of animal welfare. This will reveal mechanisms involved in modulating stress responses. Groundbreaking aspects include new insights into how environmental conditions shape the orchestration of the genome by means of epigenetic mecha ...

Improved Diagnosis and Management of Heart Disease by 4D Blood Flow Assessment (HEART4FLOW)
Date du début: 1 janv. 2013, Date de fin: 31 déc. 2017,
"The primary purpose of the cardiovascular system is to drive, control and maintain blood flow to all parts of the body. Despite the primacy of flow, cardiac diagnostics still rely almost exclusively on tools focused on morphological assessment.The objective of the HEART4FLOW project is to develop the next generation of methods for the non-invasive quantitative assessment of cardiac diseases and t ...

Limitations, Estimation, Adaptivity, Reinforcement and Networks in System Identification (LEARN)
Date du début: 1 janv. 2011, Date de fin: 31 déc. 2015,
The objective with this proposal is to provide design tools and algorithms for model management in robust, adaptive and autonomous engineering systems. The increasing demands on reliable models for systems of ever greater complexity have pointed to several insufficiencies in today's techniques for model construction. The proposal addresses key areas where new ideas are required. Modeling a centra ...

Drug addiction: molecular changes in reward and aversion circuits (ADDICTIONCIRCUITS)
Date du début: 1 oct. 2010, Date de fin: 30 sept. 2015,
Our affective and motivational state is important for our decisions, actions and quality of life. Many pathological conditions affect this state. For example, addictive drugs are hyperactivating the reward system and trigger a strong motivation for continued drug intake, whereas many somatic and psychiatric diseases lead to an aversive state, characterized by loss of motivation. I will study speci ...

Multimodal tools for Molecular Imaging, Diagnostics and Therapeutics (MUMID)
Date du début: 1 sept. 2010, Date de fin: 31 août 2015,
Non-invasive imaging techniques allow visualization of the dynamics and biochemical activity of pathological processes in real-time. By having proper molecular tools, a complete picture of pathologic conditions can be acquired at resolutions from the molecular level to the full body scale. Hence, smart multimodal imaging tools can be utilized for a diversity of applications, ranging from fundament ...
