Abstract As the world's population grows, so does the rate of urbanisation. The megacities that are emerging (20 cities with more than 15 million inhabitants, half of them in the south) combine numerous vulnerabilities to the risk of epidemics (or …

Abstract Marine ecosystems play a crucial role in supporting societal needs and human well-being by providing resources like food, carbon storage, coastal protection, and recreational opportunities. However, the impact of climate change on marine …

Abstract Clean hydrogen, as an energy vector and a sustainable chemical feedstock, is a pillar of the energy transition and key contributor to meeting the targets for net zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2050 and thereby to building a climate-resilient …

Abstract Conversion of carbon dioxide into hydrocarbons (methane, ethylene) and alcohols (ethanol, propanol) using renewable electricity as an energy source is an attractive strategy for storing renewable energies (solar and wind energy) into the form of …

Abstract this presentation will provide a long perspective on the importance of energy transitions in human history and underscore the role of ingenuity, innovation, and adaptation in the past - and future - success of our species. Kyle Harper Kyle Harper …

Abstract The magic papyri of Late Antiquity preserve few traces of their social context. Yet careful study can reveal valuable information about the individuals who composed and copied them. In this seminar, we propose to discuss accounts of the education …

Abstract The first lecture is aimed at a general math audience and will be an introduction to the representation theory of p-adic groups and its relation to other areas. It will include an overview of the construction of representations of p-adic groups …

Abstract We study the existence of relaxed equilibria for finite-horizon deterministic mean-field games. These relaxed equilibria are probability measures on trajectories. Closed-graph properties play a major role in proving their existence. Two   cases …

Abstract A wave packet launched into a random potential, in the strong localization regime (Anderson localization), first moves away from its original position, then returns and stops there. This phenomenon, discovered by Dominique Delande and his …

Abstract Adaptation may be a key element in biological evolution, but it is only one component. We'll talk about everything else. On the one hand, there is drift, the random counterpart of natural selection, which should never be underestimated. Then …

Abstract This two-part lecture aims to provide a holistic understanding of neural recording and stimulation electrodes, from design to practical application, and to highlight the importance of engineering and materials science in advancing neuroscience …
