The Independent Research Fund Denmark has just awarded DKK 249 million to 40 promising young researchers through the Sapere Aude: DFF-Research Leader Grant program. The purpose of the program is to give talented researchers, who have delivered top-class research within their field, the opportunity to develop and strengthen their own research teams and lead projects for up to 4 years.
Among the recipients are 8 researchers from DTU, who each receive DKK 6.3 million. The recipients are:
Axel Ahrens, DTU Health Tech, with the project 'The Connection between Auditory Perception and Movement Kinematics'.
Evgeniia Gilshtein, DTU Electro, with the project 'Co-Engineering of Multi-Dimensional Interfaces for Thin-Film Solar Cells (MultiDCell)'.
Theodora Kontogianni, DTU Compute, with the project 'Total3D: Building Universal Representations for Spatial AI'.
Leoni Johanna Jahn, BRIGHT, with the project 'EVOLOOP: Untangling phenotype, epigenetics and genetic feedback mechanisms in environmental adaptation'.
Benjamin Michael Lipp, DTU Management, with the project 'Situating the Logistics of Care'.
Maryam Abdinejad, DTU Energy, with the project 'Electrochemical Direct Air Capture for Sustainable Carbon Neutrality (eDACsustain)'.
Mohamad Bayat, DTU Construct, with the project 'Establishing the theoretical framework for large area printing of moon dust in vacuum using light sources'.
Kristoffer Vitting-Seerup, DTU Health Tech, with the project 'Beyond Genes: The Atlas of Causal Isoform Regulation'.
Backed by these grants, the researchers can now develop the optimal framework for their work and contribute to future breakthroughs.
