Electromagnetic compatibility of power systems – E-CEM
One way to significantly reduce carbon emissions in transport is to consider the development of hybrid and electric vehicles. Thus, the use of power converters will rapidly increase in modern vehicles. In order that the introduction of power converters in transport vehicles be done in harmony wi
Re-defining a GABAergic neuron – GABAtransporter
The balance between excitation and inhibition is critical to the proper function of neural circuits. Aberrant activity is characteristic of numerous neurological disorders, including autism spectrum disorder, Rett syndrome, schizophrenia, and epilepsy. Inhibitory interneurons are embedded in almost
Component for Guided Optics in the Midinfrared – COMI
The Mid-InfraRed (MIR) domain is concerned by most of the frequencies of molecular vibration and the optical spectroscopy in this range allows the identification and the quantification of chemical compounds corresponding to explosives, pollutants or disease markers. Also, the technological appropria
Quantum Control of Bose Einstein Condensates in optical lattices – QuCoBEC
The realization of Quantum Technologies which fully exploit the potential of quantum mechanics remains a major challenge, due to the fragility of quantum states. In this context the QuCoBEC research project aims at demonstrating the key role that quantum control in general and quantum optimal contro
high gas barrier polymer-based nanocomposite design by combining experimental, modelling and machine learning approaches – BANCODEMM
BANCODEMM project aims to explore new routes in the quest of robust guidelines to design polymer-based nanocomposites displaying enhanced barrier properties from combined experimental, theoretical and numerical investigation. In this project, the whole chain from nanocomposite constituents to proces
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.
Spin transport across a customized multi-decker molecule – SPINCOMM
More than two decades ago has emerged a new technology exploiting electron spins to convey information within an electric circuitry. This technology, known as spintronics, translates in advantages such as nonvolatile storage technology, fast-data processing speed and low-power consumption. The worki
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
Tropospheric Ozone in Southeast Asia: Budget and Mitigation Strategies – OSEAMS
On regional and global scales, tropospheric ozone is a key compound controlling atmospheric oxidation capacity and an important driver of climate change. On a local scale, ozone is a criteria air pollutant that has detrimental effects on human health and natural ecosystems. Although having successfu
Simulation of thermal Interface Resistances: ENAble first principle molecular dynamics via heat transients – SIRENA
In a device, the heat path from the active part to the heat sink involves generally several layers of different materials. At each interface, a thermal resistance has to be accounted for in addition to the resistance of layer itself. Understanding and quantifying interface thermal resistances is th
