Sea-ice Evolution in Arctic Summer – SEAS
The extent of sea ice during summer in the Arctic Ocean is among the most sensitive indicators of the ongoing climate change. The Arctic sea ice is known to have a key role in determining the planet albedo, which is the ratio of reflected over incoming solar radiation. During the last summer (2
Scientific Improvement of Ammonia Combustion – SIAC
To reach the Green Deal objective of Europe in 2050, the need to keep a secure electricity supply, the energy storage will play an central role of the modern electricity smart grid. Hydrogen is considered as a good energy carrier even if actually suffers of the storage and transport cost and some sa
Schrödinger problem, optimal transport and stochastic calculus – SPOT
The goal of this project is to study the most probable trajectory followed by an interacting particle system when a spontaneous fluctuation is observed. In its most basic form, this is known as the Schrödinger problem. In their general form, the problems at the heart of this project are formulated
Scalable routing in Multi-Modal transportation networks – MultiMod
The targeted breakthroughs of MultiMod is the scalability of routing algorithms exploiting real-time events. We ambition to do in large-scale networks like Ile-de-France (where existing solutions are mostly mono-modal) better than what is done in Lyon (planed multimodal), by including unplanned tran
Saturated Open-pore Foams for Innovative Tribology in Turbomachines – SOFITT
The performance of many industrial applications is largely based on the quality and reliability of the guidance and support systems (high rotational speeds, low friction torque, damping capability, etc.). In the TRIBOLUB team (Tribology of lubricated interfaces), one of the main objectives is to con
Sandwich for Intermediate Temperatures with Geopolymer Core – SANTIAG
Ceramic matrix composites are interesting materials due to their good mechanical properties and their good damage resistance, even at high temperature. Nevertheless, their fabrication requires usually expensive constituents, and processing routes with long duration and expensive too. Geopolymers off
Sampled-current voltammetry on an electrode array for metallic trace elements detection in water – EASCVsens
Detecting and eliminating MTEs is of major interest, as they are toxic even in trace level. For example, European drinking water guidelines specify limits of 1 to 10 µg/L for some elements such as mercury, cadmium and lead. Current methods for monitoring these pollutants in water remain costly, and
Salty ices modeling using data-driven approaches and atomistic simulations – SIMODAS
Ice phases incorporating a non-negligible amount of salt have been recently experimentally demonstrated. In particular, both high- and low-pressure phases have been reported, showing interest respectively in models for planetary interior compositions, and solid aqueous electrolytes for battery devic
Sail WING propulsion in atmospheric conditions – SWING
The project is devoted to the study of a new mode of propulsion for maritime transport: Wind-Assisted Ship Propulsion (WASP). The design of such wing-sails meets strict criteria and sea conditions which make it impossible to study at a 1:1 scale. Although, geometrically similar to wings used in aero
SaferTramDriving – SaferTramDriving
Since the 2000s, tramways have become established in many cities as the main mode of public transport. Tramways are an attractive form of surface mass transit (high passenger flow, safe solution, clean energy) for local authorities. Furthermore, its cost is also lower than that of the other mass tra
