Stochastic Orders and Constrained Transport – SOCOT
Our goal is to improve understanding and extend the range of applications of stochastic orders ubiquitous objects in probability, statistics and mathematics of decision-making in connection with the weak optimal transport theory, that is an important setting of the generalized transport theory and c
Stein's Method and Analysis – MESA
This project aims at developing new techniques and applications, by leveraging ideas from mathematical analysis (PDE techniques, variational methods, optimal transport, functional analysis). Fields of application we shall explore include statistics, random matrix theory and free probability, stochas
Statistics and Machine Learning for Single Cell Genomics – SingleStatOmics
The ability to measure genome-wide gene expression or mutations from large cell populations revolutionized biology in the late 1990s, enabling characterization of cancer subtypes and comprehensive gene expression profiling. However, traditional bulk genomics masks critical cell-to-cell variability w
Stabilizing detergents through a salt-bridges network for studying and crystallizing in solution membrane proteins in a functional form. Application to multidrug ABC efflux pumps. – CLAMP
Detergents are key components in the field of structural biology and biochemistry of membranes proteins. They are required for maintaining them in solution for crystallography, ligand screening, antibody production, immunization and other applications. Unfortunately, they tend to unfold these protei
Spin transport across a customized multi-decker molecule – SPINCOMM
More than two decades ago has emerged a new technology exploiting electron spins to convey information within an electric circuitry. This technology, known as spintronics, translates in advantages such as nonvolatile storage technology, fast-data processing speed and low-power consumption. The worki
Spin and charge transport in single crystal magnetic tunnel junctions – SPINCHAT
The understanding of the complex transport mechanisms in single crystal MTJs represents the key parameter towards the improvement and the better control of the tunnel magneto-resistive (TMR) effects in MTJ devices such as sensors, read-heads or magnetic non-volatile memories (MRAM). Within this proj
Spin Manipulation and Spin Transport in Semiconductor Two-Dimensional Nanostructures – SpinMan
This project is part of a large effort all over the world to understand and eventually control spin phenomena in semiconductors. A large number of new spintronics devices including spin-transistors, spin-LEDs and spin-lasers have thus been proposed in recent years. Adding the spin degree of freedom
Spectral Superdiffusive Phonon Sensor – SPiDER-man
Three challenging tasks shall tackle several scientific issues, especially in the development and the calibration of the SPSS. Among them, there is the handling of a TDTR heterodyne device to work at frequencies up to 10 THz, where thermal wave propagation dominates, keeping low signal to noise rati
Spatio-Temporal Analysis by Recognition within Complex Images for Remote Sensing of Environment – ASTERIX
Following the growth of multisource data with high spatial, spectral, and temporal resolutions, the problem of complex image information mining in remote sensing of environment becomes a great challenge, with many potential applications raising. However, there is no or only a few methodological fram
Solar thermochemical conversion of CO2 and water into fuel using non-stoichiometric oxygen-exchange redox materials – SUNFUEL
The production of synthetic fuels (H2, syngas, liquid fuels) is a major challenge, in particular when produced from clean and novel renewable processes without any fossil resources. The reduction of CO2 emissions requires a strong decrease of fossil energy utilization while developing CO2-free renew
