We will investigate mechanisms of ion transport and in the unique bacterial K+-importing protein complex (KdpFABC), which unlike any other ion transporting protein, contains both a channel and a pump subunit.

Atomistic modeling can provide mechanistic insights and improved design principles, but it is limited by the complexity of modern alloys that involve up to a dozen carefully tuned components.

Brain imaging techniques, particularly magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), play a crucial role in understanding the neurocognitive phenotype of Down syndrome (DS) and its associated challenges.

The project tackles one of the fundamental open questions in cosmology: the nature of dark matter. The project aims to redefine the standards of the field by simulating three cosmological volumes in multiple scenarios: cold, warm and three self-interacting dark matter models.

The functional properties of materials are systematically and often dramatically affected by the presence of defects and disorder.

This project proposes a video tokenizer based on Variational Autoencoders (VAEs) to address these challenges, incorporating spatio-temporal attention mechanisms and transformer-based architectures to manage long-range spatio-temporal dependencies and reduce artifacts.

The "Voice for Purpose" project represents an innovative approach to enabling communication for individuals with voice and movement impairments, in all European languages.

Propellers are by far the major device for marine propulsion. The improvement of their efficiency is critical for reducing fuel consumption, resulting in beneficial effects on the economic and environmental costs of shipping.

In the near future, the hydrokinetic energy of ocean currents, rivers and tides is expected to provide a growing contribution to our effort of decreasing the world dependence on fossil fuels, replacing them with cleaner, renewable and more sustainable energy resources.
