Urban Cooling by Trees – Assessing and Modeling for Designing Sustainable Cities – COOLTREES
Among adaptation strategies of cities to climate change, « greening » cities i.e. reintroducing trees within cities, is probably a promising way since trees through transpir ation and shading have a significant impact on the heat balance of the surrounding atmosphere. The first general objective of COOLTREES is to assess and model the evapotranspiration of urban trees in relation with their environments, and to relate their role in the urban climate with their structural and functional traits.
Tenebrescent minerals by in silico Modelling – TeneMod
Toward a better understanding of the photochromism's mechanism of natural minerals from the sodalite familly using quantum chemical methods.
TESTING THE SHOCK HYPOTHESIS AS THE ACCELERATOR OF SOLAR ENERGETIC PARTICLES – COROSHOCK
analysis during the later phase of the project (2019-2021).
Silicon-based polymers by catalysed dehydropolymerisations – POLCADE
ALKALINE-EARTH METAL COMPLEXES: SYNTHESIS AND IMPLEMENTATION FOR THE PRODUCTION OF NEW SILICONE MATERIALS.
ABSOLUte asymmetric synthesis by means of CATalysts supported on extremely chirally-amplified supramolecular scaffolds – AbsoluCat
A general approach towards absolute asymmetric syntheses achieved by rational design. All industrial processes rely on chiral precursors to produce new chiral compounds and this paradigm is a severe limitation of asymmetric synthesis. Absolute asymmetric synthesis, i.e. the preparation of enantiopure compounds without the help of any chiral species, is still very limited. A general approach towards absolute asymmetric syntheses would thus constitute an important breakthrough.
