Self-organized multifunctional multi-material structures for LED lighting – SMARtLEDS
The stakes of this project are the enhancement of the spectral and spatial light extraction in a LED device, by combining the currently used phosphor YAG :Ce with a network of ZnO nanowires of controlled pattern and period. Adding ZnO nanowires to the phosphor will improve the spectral profile of th
Ring opening co-polymerization of succinic anhydride derivatives and epoxides from bio-based resources via organocatalysis – CoCaBio
This project aims at using organocatalysis for the ring-opening polymerization of biobased epoxides and succinic anhydride derivatives. The objectives are: 1) Synthesis of known (ureas, thioureas, squaramides, thiosquaramides) or unknown (croconamides) organocatalysts for their efficiency in othe
Chiral Cyclic Alkyl Amino Carbenes in Asymmetric Catalysis – ChiCAAC
In recent years the field of stable carbenes has witnessed outstanding breakthroughs and considerable developments. Due to their strong sigma-donating and pi-accepting character, and their simple, yet versatile synthesis, carbenes have successfully challenged the stronghold of phosphines in transiti
BRIDging the environment(al) Gap: promising catalyst materials to performant fuel cells Electrodes – BRIDGE
The large-scale deployment of PEMFCs is hampered by the lack of efficient transfer of highly-active ORR nanocatalysts from ‘beaker’ cells (cells made of glass and filled with liquid electrolyte classically used in academic laboratories) to real MEAs. The main objective of the BRIDGE project is to im
Data and Prior, Machine Learning and Control – DeLiCio
We combine machine learning (ML) and control theory (CT) and address problems in control from two perspectives: - What can be modelled (CT) and what needs to be learned (CT)? - Can we provide, estimate or guarantee stability (CT)? - Can we estimate the complexity of the learning task and or the a
Metal- and Liquid-free Organic Lithium-Ion BatteriEs for Sustainable and Safe Energy Storage – MOLIBE
Metal Removal: This objective contains 3 complementary approaches: (i) the development of easy-to-synthesize organic (macro-)molecules as electrode materials; (ii) the implementation of tailored large-scale available CCCs; and (iii) the introduction of new in-/organic cations to replace the convent
The last european old-growth (“subnatural”) fir-BEech forests: a loNg-term and global stuDy for their better understandIng, conServation and management – BENDYS
For the past three decades, old-growth forests are at the center of debates about the struggle against global warming and the biodiversity crisis. Recent inventories show that they represent for less than 1% of Europe's forest area and that only 0.2% have survived in Central Europe. In addition to c
Complex and nonlinear fluids of light – CONFOCAL
The project relies on three core objectives. First, we propose to study how effective photon interactions – which may give rise to light superfluidity – in an optical beam compete with «mesoscopic« phenomena due to coherent multiple scattering of light in disorder, like Anderson localization or cohe
Chromatin remodeling in regulation of chromosomal Crossing-Over and seed production – ChromCO
Intensive studies over the past decades have identified a number of genes involved in meiosis regulation in yeast, plants and animals. At the DNA molecular level, the generation of double-strand-breaks (DSBs), the processes of homologous recombination and CO formation are relatively well described.
In silico models of drug transport to enhance personalized medicine – IMOTEP
Membrane transporters are crucial in the pharmacokinetics of xenobiotics and endogenous compounds, impacting drug distribution and efficacy. Genetic polymorphisms and drug interactions can modulate their activity, leading to variability in treatment responses. However, the precise mechanisms of such
