A Sustainable Cooperative Catalysis for the Introduction of SRf groups by C-H functionalization – SCoopCH
The design of new and sustainable approaches to builp up fluorinated molecules from simple building blocks is a real challenge for our society. In particular, more eco-compatible solutions based on a cooperative catalysis for the transition metal-catalyzed functionalization of molecules by C-H bond activation will be developed in the SCoopCH project to access SRf-containing compounds of interest.
Towards more sustainable wastewater treatments: Taking into consideration the TRANSformation PROducts of organic micropollutants – TRANSPRO
The project addresses the important challenge of better characterizing wastewater treatment processes and intends to study the transformation products (TPs) resulting from the degradation of organic micropollutants during these treatments and subsequently in the natural environment, an aspect that remains neglected in environmental risk assessment. It will contribute to document the treatment performances of innovative solutions allowing to limit sanitary and environmental risks.
X-ray Laue Microscopy to Understand Fatigue Damage (XMicroFatigue) – XMicroFatigue
A new X ray microscope open to materials science community for 3D in situ mapping of structural parameters and crystalline defects in microstructures and micro objects.
CHANGING PARADIGM IN DNP POLARIZING AGENTS DESIGN – CHARMING
Stabilized transient radicals as polarization agents
Plankton interactions, their environmental determinants and biological/geochemical consequences in the southern Senegal cOastal LABoratory – SOLAB
Coastal oceans and the services they provide are of great importance to coastal populations. These regions are subject to strong anthropogenic pressures (warming, deoxygenation, acidification, eutrophication, overfishing, and various pollutions) that interact with each other, and can spread/amplify. In order to manage and anticipate these effects, tools for monitoring and managing the marine environment are essential.
The Costs of Cognition from an Information-Theoretic perspective: experimental validation – CoCogIT
The origins of mental effort and mental fatigue remain neuroscientific enigmas. Here we aim at providing experimental validation to a novel framework to tackle these questions based on information theory and which predicts that subjective effort costs and task aversiveness are a function of the information cost of the task. We will test this novel theory experimentally, by means of behavioural and neuroimaging techniques in humans.

Adapting linguistic representations during social interactions: a dynamic view of spoken human communication – REaDY-SPOK
The purpose of the project is to examine how spontaneous interactive cues conveyed during social interactions contribute to learning and knowledge co-construction. Even though convergence and feedback can be described as reflecting the speakers’ attempts to improve mutual comprehension, it is still unknown whether speakers adapt their linguistic representations after an interaction.
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.
Photonic Augmented Security via Physical Unclonable Functions – PHASEPUF
Recently, major security concerns have arisen due to technological advancements in reverse engineering and cyber-attack techniques undermining hardware integrity and information security.<br />Physical unclonable functions are hardware-based solutions allowing to identify counterfeit hardware at the chip level or to generate cryptographic keys, avoiding their local storage into digital memory, thanks to their complex highly unpredictable responses strongly dependent on fabrication tolerances.
