ultra-wide Bandgaps for futuRE high power electronic ApPlications – BREAkuP
The aim of this project is to explore and to develop radically new material systems based on AlN ultra-wide bandgaps for future power devices providing higher robustness and superior temperature operation towards the ultimate all-binary AlN/GaN/AlN heterostructure. The AlN material will enable high efficiency operation beyond 1200 V as well as higher power performances in the millimeter-wave range, which is not currently reachable by GaN devices.
uORF-mediated post-transcriptional control of stem cell niche activity in plants – ReinitiaTOR
Target of Rapamycin (TOR) functions as a central hub to link a wide range of external stimuli to protein production. In plants, protein production is limited by upstream open reading frames (uORFs) located within the 5’UTRs of about 30% of eukaryotic mRNAs. The mechanism of uORF-mediated suppression of translation and reinitiation factors that mediate uORF inhibitory potential are not yet clear.
spreading of granular pastes: from the particle to end use properties – PASTFLOW
Granular pastes such as gypsum pastes or fresh concrete play an important role in the manufacture of various products in the construction, chemical and food industries. These materials are non-Newtonian fluids whose complex rheological properties need to be understood and described with the help of physical models in order to optimise the end-use properties of these products in conjunction with their formulation.
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.
primary Antibody ImmunoDeficiencies: genetics and pathophysiological mechanism – AID
Primary antibody deficiencies (PADs) constitute a heterogeneous group of primary immune deficiencies diagnosed in childhood or in adulthood, which remain not well understood. Our project is based on the hypothesis that most B cell immunodeficiencies, e.g. hypogammaglobulinemia, have underlying genetic defects although the latter may be more complex leading to non-Mendelian inheritance pattern.
pH Observation of Extracellular Fluid by NMR Involving Xenon – PHOENIX
The goal of the PHOENIX project is to develop a sensitive, specific and non-invasive method to assess and monitor extracellular pH in vivo. This concept is based on the design of pH sensors that can bind 129Xe at physiological pH. Thanks to the high sensitivity of the hyperpolarized 129Xe NMR/MRI technique, this approach will represent a fast and easy way to detect pH variation in tissues and has many advantages over the existing techniques aimed at measuring extra-cellular pH.
natural Deep Eutectic solvents foR Microalgae bIorefinery in Cosmetic – DERMIC
The DERMIC project aims to study the potential of new solvents from renewable resources, deep eutectic solvents, for the development of microalgae biorefinery schemes. The goal being the valorization of polar and apolar metabolites of 3 biomasses, by proposing in a reduced number of steps, a maximum of ready-to-use ingredients for the cosmetic industries.
micro-Organisms and Reactivity of HYdrOgeN in underground – ORHYON
Hydrogen (H2) is a very promising resource. It can be transported and stored in large amounts into underground natural reservoirs. H2 is also produced as a geological resource from natural emissions.<br /><br />The results of the chair will lead to a better understanding of the processes controlling H2 migration and retention in geological formations; to new tools and methodologies to reduce the risks associated with geological storage; to provide technical guidance for its exploration and production.
human inspired autonomous navigation in crowds – Hianic
The Hianic project aims to give autonomous vehicule the ability to spaces shared with pedestrians. In these shared spaces, there is no traffic lights or stops to give the priority to pedestrians or cars, and these spaces can be densely populated. The Hianic project proposes to combine works in crowd simulation, proactive navigation, psychological study on the acceptability, experiments with real autonomous vehicles to move forward on this challenging topic.
