Helical states and Majorana fermions in topological nanostructures – TOPONANO
The mathematical concept of topology applied to condensed matter has been very helpful to understand the transport properties of certain materials. This description was responsible for the discovery of new states of matter called topological insulators. These are insulating in the bulk of the materi
Photosynthesis Regulation and cyanobacterial biofuel production – ReCyFuel
Due to the global Earth warming arising from increasing atmospheric levels of CO2 and to the decrease of fossil fuel supply, one of the biggest challenges of our modern society is to design new methods to generate renewable, sustainable and clean energy. In the recent years, the use of cyanobacter
GraphRec: Efficient and Scalable Recursive Programming with Graphs – GraphRec
Large graph data structures are increasingly used in many areas such as transportation networks, healthcare (drug interactions), cryptocurrencies (blockchain transactions), social networks, knowledge management, etc. Recursive programs constitute a very powerful means to extract valuable information
Efficient resource allocation in congested networks – RACON
Congestion is a ubiquitous phenomenon arising in many real life situations like transportation or communication networks. Congestion appears when the offered load to the system approaches or exceeds its capacity, having a very bad impact from performance and economic point of view. It is therefore
Fair Multimodal Learning – FAMOUS
The aim of this project is to explore the first avenues of research into the contribution of multimodality in datasets to meet the requirements of fair learning. Fairness refers here to the biases (in the data and/or induced), while being interested in the interpretability of the models to help thei
Additifs supramoléculaires de cristallisation des transporteurs ABC de résistance à de multiples agents chimiothérapeutiques – AddX
The structure-based design of highly efficient and selective, therapeutic inhibitors, requires the knowledge of their protein targets at the atomic level, if possible in several conformations, that will reflect the different catalytic steps of a given process. This is a particularly difficult task c
Nanofluidic Energy Conversion with (re)Active suRfaces – NECtAR
Water desalination and sustainable energy harvesting are among the greatest challenges of our society, and nanofluidics offers promising solutions to address them. Nanofluidic energy conversion systems rely on electrokinetic (EK) effects, which couple different types of transport (hydrodynamic, elec
Multiscale ab initio skyrmionics in 2D magnets – MATRICES
Magnetic skyrmions, topologically protected chiral spin structures with particle-like properties, have attracted tremendous attention due to their potential information storage and processing applications. The main focus of the community so far has been on skyrmions in bulk, ultrathin films, and mul
Ressource Allocation in City Logistics with Demand Uncertainty – ADELE
The freight transportation in cities is a major disturbing factor to urban life in terms of congestion, pollution, safety and security. A central issue in city logistics (CL) is to design logistics systems that move goods to, from, and within urban areas while meeting sustainability goals. Such CL s
Enzyme engineering for the microbial production of enhanced pyoverdines for biomedical applications. – PYOCLICK
Combinatorial biosynthesis relies on enzyme and metabolic engineering approaches aimed at modifying the production of natural peptides, particularly by incorporating non-canonical amino acids (ncAAs) into their sequence. This strategy generates peptides carrying functional groups for bioconjugation,
