Bio-inspired dipolar dyes for solution processing of organic solar cells – Chalcones
Scientifically and technologically, but also economically, dye chemistry has represented a major field of activity in chemical industry and academic research since the 19th century. Nowadays, dye sciences are facing new exciting challenges. Given the announced shortage in fossil fuels, alternative e
Optimizing mechanical properties of nickel base superalloys by tailoring microstructure – OPALE
The project aims at improving the mechanical behaviour of polycrystalline Nickel base superalloys, by tailoring the microstructure of as-shaped pieces. Those alloys are used for manufacturing turbojet engine components, due to their excellent mechanical strength at high temperature. Improving the ma
Carbon partitioning in nanostructured ferritic phases: kinetics and microstructures – CAP NANO
Q&P (Quenching & Partitioning) is a new annealing route proposed to produce 3rd generation Advanced High Strength Steels. Q&P annealing cycle consists of an interrupted quenching from austenitic soaking to reach a partial martensitic transformation followed by rapid reheating and isothermal holding.
Self-Assembled AlGaN Nanostructures Design, Modelling, Opto-Electronic Properties for UV Emitters – NANOGANUV
Gallium Nitride (GaN) based materials have emerged as the leading technology for a wide range of optoelectronic applications in the visible range. In particular, blue emitting lasers and light emitting diodes (LEDs) have led to the development of widely used “white LEDs” and “Blu-Ray” technologies.
Embedded innovative sensors and software in power electronic components – CAPTIF
CAPTIF project «Embedded innovative sensors and software in power electronic components« aims to improve the behavioral and lifetime models of power modules, by the integration of multiphysics set of sensors, and signal analysis. The objectives were, on the one hand, to propose a method of sensor de
Holography for underwater detection – HYDRE
The objective of the project HYDRE is to realize an optical sensor for the detection of underwater acoustic waves (optical hydrophone). The proposed sensor allows reaching high sensitivities and presents an intrinsically low frequency cutoff that permits to filter out the noise from the environment.
Multiscale functional-structural plant modelling at the example of apple trees – FSPM Apple
The project is devoted to two research foci: F1 – «Model development, calibration, analysis, and corresponding software tools«, F2 – «Case study: Modelling apple tree growth at organ, branch and whole-tree scale«. In F1, we are building mathematical and algorithmic tools for bridging the gap b
Algorithm Design for Microrobots with Energy Constraints – ANCOR
We consider collaborative tasks for teams of mobile robots, such as search and exploration, delivering packages, data collection and pattern formation. We determine bounds on the energy requirements and team size for various tasks, provide complexity results under energy constraints and develop app
Tridimensional micro-conveyance systems for micro-factory – ALVEO
The work proposed in the ALVEO project takes place in the context of the microfactory, a means of production particularly well suited to the manufacture of miniature objects (microelectronics, micromechanics, watchmaking, etc.) in small and medium production runs. Microfactories require a high level
Pollution in Eastern Asia: towards better air quality prevision and impacts’ evaluation – PolEASIA
Based on an ambitious approach combining observations and modeling capable of linking local and global scales, the PolEASIA project aims to better quantify the distribution of pollutants (ozone and aerosols), their sources, their variability and their recent and future evolution. A particular attent
