Search for new THERMOelectric and magnetic chalcogenides with DFT as a guiding tool – ThermoDFT
The search for thermoelectric materials is an active topic, and promising new families such as chalcogenides have emerged in recent years with the figure of merit ZT reaching 1 or above. One of the possible tuning parameters of ZT in chalcogenides containing transition-metal cations is magnetism whi
Towards a complete CO2 hydrate slurry-based cooling application – COOLHYD
With a cost equivalent to 20% of global electricity consumption, and highly regulated refrigerants, the refrigeration industry must face several challenges of sustainable development while ensuring its fundamental role for various sectors (food, air conditioning…). The use of phase change material (
Swarm intelligence for navigating disordered flows using chemical signals – SWARMER
When a weakly diffusive chemical substance is transported through a turbulent or a porous medium, the resulting concentration field is characterised by a structure made of filaments stretched and folded by the flow. Many organisms have to navigate this complex landscape to find their way to the emit
Geometrical approach for Porous media flows: theory and numerics – GEOPOR
The GeoPor project proposal aims to gather experienced and promising researchers from different fields of mathematics, more precisely optimal transportation for the analysis of partial differential equations (PDEs) and numerical analysis, for studying the equations governing multi-phase flows in po
ThermAl nanoCOntactS – THACOS
Nanomaterials have multiple contacts and interfaces at the nanoscale where water molecules can be adsorbed and confined. These parameters can strongly modify heat dissipation in systems. However, thermal transport across nanoscale contacts is poorly documented. The project THACOS aims to fill the ga
Surpass the Virus through Innovations in emergence – SURVIE
The Pandemic COVID-19 has impacted strongly the habitual activities in numerous sectors, such as healthcare, businesses, transportation services and educational institutions. With the end of confinement and the progressive return to professional on-site activity, there is an opportunity to innovate
Modeling Ion Adsorption in Microporoux Carbons – MAICANANO
This program aims to bring the scientific and mathematical bases necessary for the understanding and the prediction of the mechanisms of transport and the adsorption of the ions of the electrolyte in confined nanopores, i.e., under conditions where the double electrochemical layer theory is no longe
Sub-Riemannian Geometry and Interactions – SRGI
cf pdf cf pdf cf pdf cf pdf Sub-Riemannian manifolds provide an important mathematical model for many problems involving some nonholonomic constraints. Since several years, there has been an impressive revival of interest in sub-Riemannian geometry (in short, SR geometry), together with many emergin
Multimodal Transit for Accessibility and Sustainability – MuTAS
Transit has a crucial role in the economics and the society of urban conurbations. To drive its evolution toward environmental sustainability and better user-centric performance, we envision optimally integrating new (Auto- mated) Mobility on Demand and classic Fixed Route Transit. This calls for a
DEsign of Low emission and efficient Hydrogen Internal Combustion Engines – DELHYCE
Europe is defining its trajectory to assume its ecological transition, its “Green Deal”, through the implementation of a set of political initiatives. In front of an inflexible guideline, considered sometimes dogmatic, the European Parliament aims to make Europe the first climate-neutral continent.
