Cooling devices based on non-equilibrium transport in semiconductor heterostructures – GELATO
GELATO aims at designing disruptive highly efficient thermionic cooling nano-devices. It is motivated by the urgent technological need to control joule heating in nanoelectronics in a context of energy shortage. So far, most of the studies on solid-state cooling are based on the classical thermoelec
First Encounters in Complex Environments – ComplexEncounters
The goal of the project is to calculate analytically the statistics of encounter times between random walkers in complex environments. The first passage time (FPT), defined as the first time for two random walkers to meet « by chance », is a key property of random walk theory, notably in the context
Platform for multisCale simulation of hot carriers: electrons and phonons for energy harvesting – PlaCho
The project Placho (Platform for multisCale simulation of hot carriers: electrons and phonons for energy harvesting) aims to develop an original multi scale (DFT+Monte Carlo+NEGF) numerical platform from atoms to device specifically dedicated to energy conversion. This versatile tool based on first
A CONVENIENT APPROACH TO GLYCOAMPHIPHILES AS ACTIVE LAYERS OF LCD-BASED BIOSENSORS – SWEET-DISPLAY
In our bodies, as in plants and bacteria, certain molecules called glycoconjugates play an essential role. These molecules are formed of sugars attached to proteins or fats, and are found in particular on the surface of cells. They enable communication between cells, recognition of microbes, and par
Tractable quasI-Newton non-smooth Optimization Methods for large scale Data Science – TRINOM-DS
Structured composite non-smooth optimization has proved to be extremely useful in data science, where a common trend is the deluge of large-scale multidimensional data, which drives the need for more efficient optimization schemes. While, so far, primarily, first-order schemes have been widely used
Data-driven optimization in synchromodal freight transportation networks – CRC Lab
Freight transport networks aim to make the transport of goods from their production facilities to their end customers as efficient as possible. The use of logistics hubs and the pooling of goods flows make it possible to improve performance, both in terms of service and cost control, and to limit th
Valorise foods and Improve Competitiveness through Emerging Technologies applied to food by-products within the circular economy framework – ValICET
The Mediterranean Agri-food value chain, which represents a complex systems involving several local actors, such as farmers, small-scale food manufacturers, and local distributors among others, is challenged by the dual objective of (i) enhancing competitiveness, which is currently challenged by non
HYPHES: IA & RO for a systemic approach to the management and resilience of urban infrastructure networks: energy, mobility, logistics – HYPHES
Within urban areas, the management of mobility, both the mobility of people and urban logistics and the management of energy, from its production to its consumption, including its distribution and storage, can no longer be thought of. independently, in a logic of silos, if these territories want to
Natural Working Fluids for Absorption Refrigeration – AWARE
European and global regulations on greenhouse gases are constantly evolving. Most of the fluorinated refrigerants currently used are close to be banned due to their high global warming potentials.The most widely used refrigeration system is the vapor-compression refrigeration cycle including an elec
PolyAmide resistance to damage Cumulation from Fatigue loading and high-pressure HYdrogen Cycling – PACIFHYC
Consideration of hydrogen as an alternate energy carrier for ensuring cleaner means of mobility necessitates the design of reliable infrastructure for the transport, storage and dispensing of gaseous hydrogen. In order to make the sector a credible alternative, an immediate goal is to deploy network
