Representation and manipulation of highly detailed shapes – RichShape
In the context of computer graphics, this project aims to enhance the realism and visual richness of digital images. More precisely, our goal is to design novel representations for the efficient rendering of highly detailed 3D objects. First, the focus will be put on the representation of mesoscale
Design of Experiment for the Industry of transportation and Optimization – PEPITO
Recent advances in simulation (hardware and software) make its use more accessible, and engineering departments have changed from scarce and costly expert simulation, to more accessible engineering calculations carried out daily. Paradoxically, the proliferation of data and results dramatically incr
Collaborative Transportation in the Urban Distribution – TCDU
This project aims at developing models, mechanisms, optimization methods, and a web platform for the collaboration between shippers or carriers in urban distribution. To achieve this goal, the research and development work of this project is divided into five tasks: 1. Developing centralized planni
Modeling of the durability of concrete constructions – MODEVIE
«The feedback shows that better management of aging structures, in a context of sustainable development, requires appropriate tools for predicting the performance and life of the structures. Furthermore, the development of such tools is also today an important issue that emerged during the conceptio
Extraction and Transfer of Knowledge in Reinforcement Learning – ExTra-Learn
In the near future, intelligent and autonomous systems will become more ubiquitous and pervasive in applications such as autonomous robotics, design of intelligent personal assistants, and management of energy smart grids. Although very diverse, these applications call for the development of deci
Refining the bioactivity of P42, a hit therapeutic peptide, and developing a combined therapeutic peptide approach for treating Huntington’s Disease. – PEP-FOR-HD
Huntington's disease is a rare neurodegenerative disease but for which no medication, to slow or stop the disease, exists. The expression of mutant Huntingtin (Htt) protein, containing an abnormal expansion of polyQ domain, is responsible for this devastating disease. The expression of mutant protei
Dynamics of Green Growth in European and Chinese Cities (DRAGON) – DRAGON
Beyond national policies, city-level policies are more and more recognized as key components of global strategies to mitigate GHG emissions. In particular, land-use regulations, transport taxation, or investments in clean transportation modes could reduce car use. However, each city is different, an
Next Generation of Wastewater Treatment Plants: Optimization of Treatment Performance through Online Monitoring of Holistic Sludge Properties – NEXT
The sludge is a by-product of the wastewater treatment. The sustainable management of this sludge is one of the major challenges of the 21st century: the total production of potential dry matter if all wastewaters produced on earth was treated is estimated at more than 80 Mt. In addition, the costs
Molecular Engineering and Controlled Assembly of Nano Objects built on porphyrins – MECANO
This project aimed to provide new tools for the elaboration of functional molecular devices built on porphyrins. Porphyrins are a family of highly stable tetrapyrrolic macrocycles widely present in natural systems, from photosynthesis to enzymatic reactions. In Nature, porphyrins collect photons, c
Ultrafine-grained materials processed by fast Dynamic Plastic Deformation – MAUDE
One of the objectives in the design and materials engineering has always been to facilitate their use directly or improve their properties to continue to push the boundaries of human activity. Nowadays, materials with higher performance are required, which, inevitably is accompanied by pressure on t
