Controlling Multi-band quantum materials by orbital manipulation PRIN 2015
The project gathers theorist and experimentalists in different fields of condensed matter physics with ambitious goal to control the conduction and functional properties of solids and artificial systems by manipulating the internal degree of freedom associated with the atomic orbitals, leading to novel concepts guiding the design of new-generation quantum devices.

MODPHYSFRICT ERC Advanced-FP7
Friction plays a central role in diverse systems and phenomena that span vast ranges of scales, from the nanometer contacts inherent in micro- and nanomachines and biological molecular motors, to the geophysical scales characteristic for earthquakes. This project aims at clarifying many key aspects of the friction dynamics, which are still poorly understood despite the fundamental importance and and the growing efforts

SUPERBAD ERC Starting-FP7
SUPERconductivity as a cure for BAD metallic behaviour
The aim of the project is revive the dream of a unique theoretical framework for cuprates, iron-based superconductors and fullerides. Superconductivity in all these materials is shown to appear to "heal" a bad metallic state determined by strong correlation effects.
