Experiments and data analysis tools to characterize
and forecast the output signals of complex systems 2022-2024 Agencia Estatal de Investigación,
PID2021-123994NB-C21, Spain The aim of this project was to advance the understanding of nonlinear
and stochastic processes in different complex systems, by using and further
developing appropriate data analysis tools, with the ultimate goals of
forecasting and controlling nonlinear behaviors, and exploit them for
applications. The project combined experiments, model simulations and data
analysis. |

Marie Curie ITN CAFE: Climate advanced forecasting of sub-seasonal
extremes 2019 –2023, European
Commission H2020-813844 Forecasting
climatic extreme events on the sub-seasonal time scale (from 10 days to about
3 months) is very challenging because of the poor understanding of the
phenomena that may increase predictability in this time scale. The goal of
the CAFE project was to improve the sub-seasonal predictability of extreme
events by training of 12 PhD students in a wide range of interdisciplinary
topics including climate science, complex systems and data analysis. Final
conference, Barcelona September 2022 |

Complex dynamical systems and advanced data analysis tools 2019
- 2021 Ministerio de Ciencia, Innovación y Universidades, Spain, PGC2018-099443-B-I00 The aim of this project was to improve the understanding of nonlinear
phenomena in complex systems by the use of various data analysis tools, with
the long-term goal of exploiting nonlinear phenomena for applications. The
research involved experiments, simulations and data analysis. |

Marie Curie ITN BE-OPTICAL: Advanced biomedical imaging and data
analysis 2015-2019, European
Commission H2020-675512 Coordinator:
C. Masoller Partners: Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya (Spain); Georg August
University (Germany); Max Planck Institute for Dynamics and Self-Organization
(Germany); University of St. Andrews (UK); Institut de Microcirugia Ocular
(Spain); Centre de Nanosciences et de Nanotechnologies (France); Nicolaus
Copernicus University (Poland); University of Glasgow (UK); PicoQuant GmBH
(Germany). Biomedical imaging is a research field that is producing ground
breaking scientific discoveries that improve our life quality, and have a
huge economic impact. To advance this field, is crucial to invest in the new
generation of researchers. BE-OPTICAL provided top-level training to 14 PhD
students, in a wide range of imaging technologies and signal processing
tools. BE-OPTICAL brought together an interdisciplinary team of physicists,
engineers and medical doctors, with complementary expertise. BE-OPTICAL was featured in the Success
Stories web page of the European Comission (2017). BE-OPTICAL was featured in national and local
newspapers (2016): La Vanguardia, El Periodico, Diario de Terrassa Members of UPC team (Terrassa, Barcelona, October 2016). From left to right: D. Halpaap, J. Tiana, T.

Complex physical and biophysical systems: towards a comprehensive view
of their dynamics and fluctuations 2016–2018 Ministerio de Economía y Competitividad, Spain, FIS2015-66503-C3-2-P. Partners:
Universitat Pompeu Fabra (coordinator); Universitat de Barcelona; Universitat
Politecnica de Catalunya. This project studied a wide range
of stochastic and complex systems that exhibit nonlinear phenomena, such as
excitability or extreme fluctuations. Workshop on Recent Advances on Stochastic and Nonlinear Dynamics of
Complex Systems, organized at the end of the project, in honor of Prof. Carme
Torrent (Terrassa, Barcelona, Spain, February 4, 2019). |

Impacte Research (Germany); Bar-Ilan University (Israel); Utrecht University
(The Netherlands); Universidad de la Republica (Uruguay); Universitat de les
Illes Balears (Spain); Climate Risk Analysis (Germany); Ambrosys (Germany);
Vortech (The Netherlands). Description: LINC trained 12 PhD
students and 3 postdocs in the interdisciplinary set of skills required to
undertake a successful career in physics and geosciences with expertise in
climatology, networks and complex systems. The results of the
project were published in the European Commission
web page (Oct. 2016) and are contained in the book “Networks in Climate”,
published by Cambridge University Press, 2019. Participants of the final LINC conference, Viena,
Austria, 2015 |
