Developing sequence controlled polymers for organization, templation and recognition (SCPs)
Date du début: 1 avr. 2014, Date de fin: 31 janv. 2020,
Nature‘s toolbox for replication uses DNA and RNA which are nucleic acids capable of templating new copies of themselves. Nature‘s ability to replicate has led to the evolution of a wide variety of forms and functions for biological materials which cannot be achieved using current synthetic approaches. It seems likely that if we were able to teach plastics or other polymers how to template new cop ...

Behaviour near criticality (Critical)
Date du début: 1 sept. 2014, Date de fin: 31 août 2019,
"One of the main challenges of modern mathematical physics is to understand the behaviour of systems at or near criticality. In a number of cases, one can argue heuristically that this behaviour should be described by a nonlinear stochastic partial differential equation. Some examples of systems of interest are models of phase coexistence near the critical temperature, one-dimensional interface gr ...

The importance of the evolution of vorticity in incompressible fluid mechanics is very well known.To date, only nonrigorous approaches are known to try to obtain an evolution equation for isolated vortex lines. Two ...

Date du début: 1 avr. 2014, Date de fin: 31 mars 2019,
"The coherent dynamics of excitons in systems of biological interest and in organic materials can now be studied with advanced experimental techniques, including two dimensional electronic spectroscopy, with time resolution of few femtoseconds. The theory of open quantum systems, that should support the interpretation of these new experiments, has been developed in different contexts over the past ...

Stochasticity in Spatially Extended Deterministic Systems and via Homogenization of Deterministic Fast-Slow Systems (StochExtHomog)
Date du début: 1 juin 2013, Date de fin: 31 mai 2018,
Ergodic theory is the analysis of probabilistic or statistical aspects of deterministic systems. Roughly speaking, deterministic systems are those that evolve without any randomness. Nevertheless, the probabilistic approach is appropriate since specific trajectories are unpredictable in “chaotic” systems. At the other extreme, stochastic systems evolve in a random manner by assumption.One of ...

White Dwarfs as Tracers of Stellar, Binary and Planetary Evolution (WDTracer)
Date du début: 1 avr. 2013, Date de fin: 31 mars 2018,
The vast majority of all stars in the Galaxy will evolve, or already have evolved, into white dwarfs, Earth-sized stellar embers sustained by electron degeneracy, and the study of white dwarfs is essential to many aspects of our understanding regarding the evolution of single and binary stars and of planetary systems. However, because of their intrinsic faintness, the known population of galactic ...

"The aim of VISUAL-MS is to investigate the structure and the assembly of individual functional adsorbed molecules with sub-nm resolution. This is an essential and still missing step in the development of a molecular scale foundation of many contemporary research fields. In order to achieve these goals, ultra high resolution scanning probe microscopy techniques are needed. However, these require t ...

Extremal Combinatorics (EC)
Date du début: 1 oct. 2012, Date de fin: 30 sept. 2017,
A typical problem of Extremal Combinatorics is to maximise or minimise a certain parameter given some combinatorial restrictions. This area experienced a remarkable growth in the last few decades, having a wide range of applications that include results in number theory, algebra, geometry, logic, information theory, and theoretical computer science. There are also many practical fields that were g ...

Cognitive and Social Foundations of Rationality (RATIONALITY)
Date du début: 1 mai 2012, Date de fin: 30 avr. 2017,
"RATIONALITY focuses on perhaps the key fault-line in the social and cognitive sciences. Many theorists, in philosophy, economics, artificial intelligence and cognitive science explain mind, behaviour, and their consequences for social phenomena, by rational explanation. Others, in judgment and decision making, social psychology, behavioural economics and the neurosciences, argue that people syste ...

I propose a programme of precision tests of the Standard Model of particle physics to be carried out using the LHCb experiment at CERN. The proposal is focussed on studies of CP violation - differences between the behaviour of particles and antiparticles that are fundamental to understanding why the Universe we see today is made up of matter, not antimatter.

Bioinorganic chemistry is a rapidly expanding area of research, but the potential for the therapeutic application of metal complexes is highly underdeveloped. The basic principles required to guide the development of metal-containing therapeutic agents are lacking, despite the unique therapeutic opportunities which they offer. It is the goal of the proposed research to establish basic principles o ...

The Impact of Hybridization on Functional Diversification - Experimental Evolution with Sexual Microbes (HYBRAD)
Date du début: 1 févr. 2012, Date de fin: 25 août 2014,
"An underexplored aspect in the evolution of biodiversity is the role of interspecific hybridization. Hybridization is hypothesized to increase the functional diversity of adaptive radiations, potentially yielding ecological speciation. Yet, direct evidence for this is lacking. We propose to apply a large-scale, quantitative approach using experimental evolution with yeast to test this fundamental ...
