ERC Consolidator Grants 2022: five winning projects hosted by Université Paris-Saclay
The European Research Council (ERC) has just announced the laureates of the ERC Consolidator Grants 2022. The annual grants support scientific projects led by mid-career researchers. Five projects coordinated by researchers and academic staff from Université Paris-Saclay have been awarded grants.
ERC Consolidator Grants are aimed at researchers with 8-12 years of experience since the completion of their PhD. Laureates can be awarded up to €2 million for a period of 5 years. The grants are aimed at ambitious and daring research projects, at the frontiers of knowledge, which tackle scientific challenges.
Carlos Alonso Ramos, a CNRS research fellow at the Centre for Nanoscience and Nanotechnology (C2N - Université Paris-Saclay, CNRS, Université Paris Cité), was awarded a grant for the project, SPRING - Silicon opto-electro-mechanics for bridging the gap between photonics and microwaves.
Julien Bouvier, a CNRS research director at the Paris-Saclay Institute of Neuroscience (NeuroPSI - Université Paris-Saclay, CNRS) was awarded a grant for the project, ReticulOme - Multi-omics characterization of descending motor circuits in the brainstem.
Nicolas Curien, a professor at Université Paris-Saclay, Orsay Mathematics Laboratory (LMO - Université Paris-Saclay, CNRS), was awarded a grant for the project, SuPerGRandMa - Hyperbolic surfaces and large random maps.
Martin Lenz, a CNRS research director at the Laboratory of Theoretical Physics and Statistical Models (LPTMS - Université Paris-Saclay, CNRS), was awarded a grant for the project, FruSA - Frustrated self-assembly.
Konstantinos Pantzas, a CNRS research director at the Centre for Nanoscience and Nanotechnology (C2N - Université Paris-Saclay, CNRS, Université Paris-Cité), was awarded a grant for the project, PANDORA - Orientation-Patterned Gallium Phosphide for Integrated Nonlinear Photonics.
