Project A2: SYN-POL: Synthetic dust Polarization Observations by post-processing Multi-scale MHD Simulations of Star Formation, from the ISM, Molecular clouds, & Filaments to protostellar cores
Project A3: BALLAD-POL: probing magnetic fields (B-fields) and Dust Physics in Interstellar Filaments using starlight and thermal Dust Polarization
Project A4: 3D BISTRO: Probing 3D magnetic fields in the ISM and Star-Forming Regions using dust Polarization (starlight and thermal emission) and other techniques (Zeeman effect, Synchrotron, and Gradient Techniques)
