Development of an eXtended Friction Energy –third body Wear approach to predict the fretting wear rate of metallic interfaces. – X-FEW
This project aims at developing a new wear model that unifies the energy approaches (wear volume as a function of friction work dissipated in the interface), the third body theory (ejection flow of the debris bed from the interface) and the contact oxygenation concept (oxygen present in the debris bed modifies the wear process).
Inverse modelling of BLACK Carbon emissions using real time data from NETworked sensors – BLACKNET_Ukraine
Southeast Asia, and funded over the period 2018-2021 by IRD and the leading laboratories, including LA
Intensity interferometry at Calern – I2C
After the pioneering studies in the 1960s-70s, intensity interferometry has given way to amplitude interferometry, which has a better sensitivity, but at the cost of a much greater complexity. The I2C project aims at demonstrating the new potential of intensity interferometry using modern photon detection and manipulation and digital signal processing technologies.

Visibility and invisibility of minorities on the public scene at the end of the Middle Ages – VISMIN
Visibility and invisibilization of minorities in the public space at the end of the Middle Ages.<br />6 towns in the Iberian Peninsula serve as the study site: Barcelona, ??Girona, Perpignan, Zaragoza, Palma de Mallorca and Valencia. The cities of Toledo and Granada provide a counterpoint. We analyze the evolution of Jewish neighborhoods between 1200 and 1492, from a «Golden Age« to the expulsion.
Ultra Low Power Wake-up Radio – U-WAKE
The scientific motivation of U-Wake is to achieve a fully self-powered wake-up receiver prototype. It is made possible through the adjunction of ultra-low power electronic subparts (RF demodulator, neuro-inspired detector and Spiking Neural Networks) and RF energy harvesting. This object will be realized in standard industrial CMOS technology to allow low cost and wide scale deployment.
Ordered Porous Inorganic Fluorides as efficient Heterogeneous Catalysts – OPIFCat
The innovation of this project is to prepare inorganic fluorinated materials as efficient, selective and stable catalysts under the harsh fluorination conditions of chlorinated reagents under HF gas. It aims to understand the catalyst structure-activity relationship and to establish a “catalyst library” with various strength of Lewis acidity which will help chemists to rapidly select the most appropriate catalyst for the Cl/F exchange as a function of the reactant characteristics.
role of INterstitial Solutes and diffusive Processes In the plasticity of Refractory high entropy Alloys – INSPIRA
Refractory High entropy alloys (RHEA) retain excellent mechanical properties at high temperatures, and the role of interstitial solutes can partly explain these properties. However, the complexity of these alloys makes it difficult to understand the underlying physical processes and to optimize the mechanical properties. In this project, we are developping a multi-scale framework to model solid solution strengthening (emerging from substitutional and interstitial solutes) in these alloys.
Chemical Engineering for the Synthesis of Highly Stable Perovskite Films Applied to Efficient Solar Cells – ChemSta
Developing sustainable technologies and processes to produce energy from renewable resources has become an urgent need. Among them, photovoltaics (PV) still need improvement for cost-effectiveness, saving on raw material and cutting in pay-back energy consumption. Beyond the now mature silicon technologies, solid-state perovskite solar cells (PSCs) have emerged nine years ago as a possible alternative or complementary PV technology.
IoT gateway protection against software and communication threats – TrustGW
In the age of the Internet of Things, embedded communicating systems are becoming massively widespread in critical infrastructures. They contribute to a better control and optimization of these infrastructures to increase their efficiency, cost and use, but also to meet societal challenges. Unfortunately, they also contribute to the increase of the global attack surface of information systems, which represents an unprecedented threat.
