Beyond Fourier Heat Flux Manipulation through Nano-Architectured 2D Materials – BF2D
Making feasible and reliable the densification of electronic devices requires intelligent and innovative design solutions at the nanoscale. In this project, we propose to exploit new phenomena that have been predicted theoretically and numerically at the nanoscale and/or proven partially experimenta
BiNary NEURal NetwOrks based oN CMOS/RRAM Hybrid archItecture and in Memory Computing Concept for Sensor Fusion Application – NEURONIC
NEURONIC aims at the fabrication of a binarized neural network hardware accelerator associating CMOS circuitry and fully embedded Resistive Memory (RRAM), based on the logic in memory concept. This digital accelerator will perform inference using a revolutionary “XNOR-NET” concept, and function with
Bias-Aware NEural aRchitecture seArch – BANERA
Artificial neural networks are nowadays one of the most studied and used algorithms for Artificial Intelligence to solve a huge variety of tasks. However, many deep models share a common drawback: their growing complexity challenges the computational capability of embedded devices and poses question
Big Data Network – MDK
In a broad range of application areas, data is produced at a scale so that it cannot be managed with conventional technologies. This has led to the emergence of the Big Data phenomenon requiring new tools for collecting, querying and mining large sets of data. Heterogeneous data collected in a m
Big Multiobjective Optimization – BigMO
Following the evolution of modern computational science, the field of evolutionary optimization is shifting rapidly to the big era where the large-scale nature of applications implies big optimization models, with a large number of decision variables and conflicting objective functions. Big multi-ob
Bio-inspired computation based on artificial spin Ice architectures – Bio-Ice
Recently, there has been impressive progress in the field of artificial intelligence. A striking example is Alphago, an algorithm developed by Google, that defeated the world champion Lee Sedol at the game of Go. However, in terms of power consumption, the brain remains the absolute winner, by four
Bio-physicochemistry of tropical clouds at Maïdo (La Réunion Island): processes and impacts on secondary organic aerosols formation – BIO-MAIDO
The objective of the BIO-MAIDO program is to better understand the chemical and biological multiphase mechanisms controlling the formation of secondary organic aerosols (SOA). Uncertainties on the processes of formation and transformation of atmospheric organic aerosols need to be lifted to understa
Biobased phononic materials (BPM) – biophoNonics
There are numerous examples of animals that manipulate visible light for functional purposes, such as insect wings made of hexagon arrays of cone-shaped nanopillars that provide a graded refractive index for camouflage. Such photonic structures can be mimicked to find innovative solutions for light
Biobased polyfunctional molecules for cosmetic applications – CosMoPoly
The CosMoPoly project is aimed to design, synthesize and evaluate the biological properties of a portfolio of innovative biobased polyfunctional molecules dedicated to cosmetics and obtained from a building-blocks library available from agro-industries, biorefineries and chemical companies. The stra
Biomechanical cost quantification for wheelchair accessible cities – CapaCITIES
The manual wheelchair (MWC) is currently the most efficient device to restore locomotion when lower limb functions are, temporarily or definitively, impaired. However, MWC locomotion is a strenuous form of ambulation for the musculoskeletal system as the upper-limbs of the MWC user are permanently u
