Awarded Projects

The success story of the Standard Model of particle physics (SM), enabled through close interaction between theory and experiment, has entered the precision frontier as small discrepancies between observations and predictions are tackled in the search for New Physics (NP).

It is widely acknowledged [SKA14] that the prediction of turbulent flow features in the presence of separation is one of the most significant challenges in fluid dynamics.

Complex fluids which simultaneously have elastic and plastic behaviors are ubiquitous in every day life (ketchup, chocolate), nature (fluids and materials in the human body), andvarious industries such as food, process, chemical and pharmaceutical.

The project is a three year one aiming at studying the effect of temperature, pressure and ultrafast light absorption and their implication for the structural properties in materials displaying giant quantum-anharmonic effects.

Particle accelerators and light sources are main tools for discovering the fundamental constituents of our universe, the inner workings of biological organisms, and the response of matter inside stars and planets.

Turbulence is one fundamental problem of classical physics that has eluded a satisfactory description by engineering models.

FLASH radiotherapy (RT) consists in delivering a therapeutic dose over much shorter times than in conventional treatment protocols.

Successful completion of this project would lead to a precise and truly a priori prediction of the low-energy constants (LECs) of chiral perturbation theory (PT) enabling new low-energy tests of the SM.

The birth of the first stars, galaxies and black holes heralded the beginning of the Cosmic Dawn (CD).
