Nitride-based nanostructured novel thermoelectric thin-film materials (NINA)

Start date: Oct 1, 2013, End date: Sep 30, 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)

Start date: Mar 1, 2013, End date: Feb 28, 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 ...

Limitations, Estimation, Adaptivity, Reinforcement and Networks in System Identification (LEARN)

Start date: Jan 1, 2011, End date: Dec 31, 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)

Start date: Oct 1, 2010, End date: Sep 30, 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)

Start date: Sep 1, 2010, End date: Aug 31, 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 ...
