Dr. Marcello Carioni receives NWO M-grant

On 10 january, it was announced that Dr. Marcello Carioni is one of the recipients of the NWO Open Competition Domain Science-M programme.

The NWO Domain Board Science has greenlit sixteen grant applications within the Open Competition Domain Science-M program. The selected topics range from an informatics study on runtime monitoring, the utilization of fungi by honeybees, and mycobacteria transport proteins to exploring the non-Gaussian 21cm universe, mapping glycosylation reactions, and investigating the role of mitochondria in synapse development. M-grants support innovative, high-quality, fundamental research, and studies addressing matters of scientific urgency.

Carioni receives his grants for his work on 'How many trajectories do we need to describe a Dynamics?'.Reconstructing dynamics from few measurements is a crucial task in all fields where time evolution plays a role. In this project, we aim to reconstruct the global motion of regularized time-dependent systems by looking only at a finite number of particle trajectories. To accomplish this, we develop the Curve Ensemble Gradient Descent (CEDG) algorithm, which we utilize to investigate real-world time-dependent systems. Since the CEDG algorithm optimises only on ensemble of trajectories, its convergence guarantees to the global dynamics will provide an answer to the question: how many trajectories do we need to describe a dynamics?
