5G-REalistic radio channel MOdels enabled system evaluation for RAilway environments – 5G-REMORA
The development of safe and secure applications such as remote driving, remote diagnostics, platooning of trains and autonomous vehicles in railway context has led to an unprecedented need for reliable radio links. The Future Railway Mobile Communication System (FRMCS) is designed at European level
Optimisation of arsenic-rich MIne wastes phytostabilisation strategies: prediction of impacts on water and pollutants bioavailability to plants linked with MicrObial activities – oMIMo
Securing mining residues represents a major environmental challenge. Most metal mines generated waste containing iron and/or sulfur, with arsenic (As) being a common toxic pollutant. Phytostabilization appears to be an appropriate option to minimize the risks linked to the dispersion of particles by
Seismic monitoring of the Subsurface along Transportation Infrastructure using passive measurement on TeleCOM fiber-Optic – SITcomOptics
Among the underground geohazards, those linked to the superficial karsts under cover are the cause of numerous collapses. Their evolution can be accelerated by exceptional hydrogeological process (floods, sudden water tables variation), the intensity and frequency of which increases with climate cha
Efficient and Dynamic ENergy Management for Large-Scale Smart Grids – EDEN4SG
This represents a challenge as strong couplings exist at different levels (local/global) between the smart grid actors which belong to an increasingly uncertain environment (e.g. growing dependence of electric production to photovoltaics and wind). This leads to a highly-coupled, multi-scale and mul
Mechanisms of mucus transport and bronchial obstruction in COPD – BronchoClogDrain
Bronchial mucus is a hydrogel secreted at the surface of the bronchi to protect them from inhaled contaminants. It is continually transported by the collective beat of cilia that cover the bronchial epithelium, and by cough, a violent air flow capable of dragging mucus plugs away. In COPD, expected
Shear Oriented Ionic Self-Assemblies for optimized ion transport – SESAME
SESAME is a basic research project dedicated to the exploration of essential properties of functional soft matter such as the impact of confinement on the ion transport. The objective is to quantify on relevant spatio-temporal scales, the transport of ions confined in nanochannels (of variable size,
Ion Transport across a Liquid-Liquid Interface for metal extraction – ITALLIX
Recycling without polluting is one of the current challenges addressed to chemistry, requesting innovative systems for liquid-liquid extraction. Moreover, an optimal separation in a large-scale continuous process of flowing solutions, rather than static baths, needs to be examined when new chemical
Quantum Control of Bose Einstein Condensates in optical lattices – QuCoBEC
The realization of Quantum Technologies which fully exploit the potential of quantum mechanics remains a major challenge, due to the fragility of quantum states. In this context the QuCoBEC research project aims at demonstrating the key role that quantum control in general and quantum optimal contro
Towards a complete CO2 hydrate slurry-based cooling application – COOLHYD
With a cost equivalent to 20% of global electricity consumption, and highly regulated refrigerants, the refrigeration industry must face several challenges of sustainable development while ensuring its fundamental role for various sectors (food, air conditioning…). The use of phase change material (
MOF-decorated polymer monolith in sequential microcolumn for Enantioselective Catalysis and in-line Separation in continuous flow – ECaSep
The aim of this project is to address issues encountered in continuous flow enantioselective catalysis related to mass transfer limitations, catalyst immobilization guarantying high catalytic site density while maintaining both good enantioselectivity and high activity as well as the real-time monit
