Project description
We are seeking a highly qualified and motivated PhD student or postdoc for the project?“Changing minds by reshaping memories”, which is funded by an NWO Vidi project awarded to dr. V.A. van Ast. You’ll conduct experimental research to investigate how novel therapeutic experiences can be optimally integrated with past maladaptive memories.
The project is embedded in the?Amsterdam Emotional Memory lab?, situated at the Clinical Psychology Department. The lab addresses fundamental questions about memory malleability, investigates mechanisms of change in the treatment of mental disorders, and contributes to treatment innovation.

What are you going to do
Recalling the past brings up memories and emotions in the present. Upon retrieval however, memories can be changed – for better or for worse – either by integrating novel experiences with existing memories (integration), or by actively breaking down such connections (disintegration). However, why memory retrieval leads to integration in some instances and to disintegration at other times is poorly understood, and the consequences of these processes for evoked emotions, are unknown. This undermines the effectiveness of psychotherapies that rely upon retrieval-induced integration.
For this project, we seek a highly motivated and qualified PhD student or postdoc. Using tools such as fMRI and psychophysiology, you’ll conduct translational research to gain insight in the conditions and neurobiological mechanisms of (dis)integration of real-life memories, and how this affects symptom changes in emotional memory disorders. To do so, you will further develop variations on paradigms that we have recently developed, suitable to measure central characteristics (e.g., psychophysiological responses, episodic detail, associative memory) of both lab-induced and autobiographical emotional memories. The collected data you’ll analyze using fMRI, multilevel- and network modelling. Ultimately, you’ll write at least three experimental papers (or a doctoral thesis on the basis of at least four experimental papers).
You will conduct your research under the main supervision of?dr. Vanessa van Ast?at the University of Amsterdam, as part of her NWO-funded Vidi project?“Changing minds by reshaping memories”. The project asks how integration of novel therapeutic experiences with past maladaptive memories can be promoted, while investigating neuronal, physiological, and psychological mechanisms of memory change. The project is also part of the group of the?Amsterdam Emotional Memory lab?that focusses on the mechanisms of (memory) change in the treatment of anxiety and related disorders. In the case of a PhD project,?Prof. Merel Kindt?will be your promotor in addition to dr. Vanessa van Ast.

Responsibilities and tasks
The two PhD positions are part of a project called?YourGutBrain - Yoghurt to alter gut movements and brain function?supported by Arla Food for Health, a public-private research partnership between the University of Copenhagen, Aarhus University, Arla Foods Amba and Arla Foods Ingredients.
The project brings together a multi-disciplinary team of experts across nutrition, diet-microbiome interactions, cognitive performance and brain activity to uncover novel causal and mechanistic evidence of fermented dairy as an approach to optimize gut health and cognition.
The two PhD students will together conduct a human intervention study to investigate whether consumption of fermented dairy products affects gut movements, the gut microbiome, and cognitive performance when compared with a non-fermented dairy-control in healthy women with few bowel movements per week. This includes recruitment of participants, examination visits, and handling of biological samples.
Furthermore, one PhD student will mainly focus on gut outcomes with emphasis on measures of bowel habits and colonic fermentation, whereas the other PhD student will focus on the brain outcomes with emphasis on cognitive performance and EEG-based measures of brain activity and connectivity. In addition, the candidates will take part in generating microbiome and metabolomics data, respectively. Finally, the candidates will take part in combining multi-omics data using multivariate statistics, and write scientific publications.

Project description
The world’s energy consumption has been steadily rising the last seven decades. The Information and Communications Technology (ICT) sector was estimated to be responsible for over 7% of the energy consumed in 2020 and this will likely increase in the upcoming years. An important part of the solution to this will be to make more energy efficient programs. In contrast to efficiency, there is very little emphasis on this as a programming skill.
Energy consumption of systems is a topic that has been investigated. For example, we know in general that memory usage and cache behaviour has an important effect, as fetching data further away from the processor is costly. Similarly, at the practical level, it is well-known that we can measure the cost relating to network communication; also here distance is of importance. These are merely a few of many examples that all give good insight to specific cases. But they are often limited to these cases and gives little fundamental insight to the problem.
Interestingly, it is actually known that there is a fundamental relationship between deletion of information and dissipation of energy. Landauer’s principle defines that only computations that delete information must dissipate heat. Unfortunately, deletion and overwriting of information is inherent to most computations. It is possible to define a reversible computation model, which does not lose information, and implement programming languages for this. This is a relevant starting point when considering the energy consumption of computations and many techniques from this can be applied.
2
Objectives
In this project, we will investigate if it is possible to develop a model for energy-aware programming and implement the needed tools to support it. The idea of an energy-aware programming model is to support the programmer, such that programming choices for lower energy consumption become more clear. Today, we teach students how to optimise their code for memory and cache behaviour for faster execution; program libraries and algorithms are implemented to follow this. It is not possible to give similar skills for energy consumption.
The project will be underpinned by the existing understanding about energy of computation and current knowledge of programming languages and program transformations (compilers, optimisers, etc.). Modern compilers (both static compilers like the ones for C of C# or just-in-time compiler like the one for Java) implement extensive optimisations to programs, but this does not necessarily result in less energy usage. These optimisations have historically solely focused on making the programs faster.
We will also work with methods to better quantify and evaluate the efficiency of specific and representative programs. To evaluate the programs and different program transformation, we need to understand their behaviour. This is not different from how efficiency of programs is investigated by running the programs. This work will be supported by laboratories at Roskilde University, that have studied several aspects on software’s energy consumption and is working on a testing bench.
3
Outcomes
In all, the goal of this project is to build a foundation for understanding and quantifying of energy consumption for modern hardware, languages, compilers and run-time system. Having a way of quantifying and evaluating programs enables us to do two things. Firstly, we can start evaluating implementations of different programs. Secondly, we can better evaluate the effect of the different compilers and run-time environments. This is a requirement to build an energy-aware programming model.
