• EMetBrown — Brownian Motion near Soft Interfaces

  Horizon Europe · Appel 2021 · Établissement bénéficiaire (ERC)

  Soft and wet contacts are ubiquitous across scales from geology to physiology and are crucial for engineering. Furthermore, many processes of physics and biology at small scales are governed by the mobility of microscopic entities in soft and confined environments, with the aim of reaching specific targets. Interestingly, an emergent elastohydrodynamic (EHD) lift force was…

• CORSAIR — Controlled subradiance in atomic arrays

  Horizon Europe · Appel 2021 · Établissement bénéficiaire (ERC)

  In the CORSAIR project, I propose to study and control subradiance, namely the suppression of collective spontaneous emission, in sub-wavelength arrays of two-level atoms, using a new atomic physics platform. Understanding and controlling how an ensemble of quantum emitters collectively emits or absorbs light is vital in several areas of science and technology. However, the…

• SQiMic — Structuring Quantum Light for Microscopy

  Horizon Europe · Appel 2021 · Établissement bénéficiaire (ERC)

  Optical microscopy, perhaps the most important tool in biomedical investigation and medical diagnosis, provides structural and functional information about biological specimen in a non-invasive and non-ionizing way. However, this technique still faces the challenge of imaging small and weakly scattering objects (e.g.a single cell) embedded inside complex biological tissues causing optical aberrations and scattering. This…

• FLORA — Sustainable and healthy food solutions: system dynamics and trade-offs

  Horizon Europe · Appel 2021 · Établissement bénéficiaire (ERC)

  Food systems are crucial to end hunger, but also to mitigate and adapt to climate change, to protect and restore biodiversity, to ensure human health and well-being, to end poverty, and to support sustainable communities. While hunger has receded, food systems are causing increasingly severe damage to our environment and health. The FLORA project will…

• DELV — DELta Virus infection in animal and human hosts

  Horizon Europe · Appel 2021 · Établissement bénéficiaire (ERC)

  The emergence and rapid transmission of viruses pose increasing risks and challenges to modern societies, threatening public health and economic stability. A thorough understanding of basic virology is therefore critical for an informed development of preventive and control strategies. Although for more than 40 years the only known member of deltaviruses was the human Hepatitis…
