Optimized transport mechanisms of bacteriophages for the development of antibacterial coatings – MAGENTA
Adhesion of micro-organisms, in particular bacteria, plays an important role in biofilms formation and the colonization of biotic or abiotic surfaces. These biofilms can be formed on any type of surfaces, and represent important financial losses e.g. in food and water treatment industries. Moreover,
Design of Experiment for the Industry of transportation and Optimization – PEPITO
Recent advances in simulation (hardware and software) make its use more accessible, and engineering departments have changed from scarce and costly expert simulation, to more accessible engineering calculations carried out daily. Paradoxically, the proliferation of data and results dramatically incr
Methods and tools to optimize planing, design, construction and operation of structural covers over transportation infrastructures in urban areas – CANOPEE
Road and railway infrastructures in urban contexts generate visual, acoustic and atmospheric pollution, as well as deep disconnection within urban structures. To compensate for this issue, infrastructure covers are being developped, without any «doctrine« or specific rules to comply with. This rese
emergency transport optimized by Artificial Intelligence, automatic natural language processing and deep learning – SADIAND
The SADIAND joint laboratory is part of a context that favors the development of artificial intelligence, with increasingly large volumes of available data, ever more powerful algorithms and machines, and greater complexity in decision-making due to an uncertain and changing environment. Its applica
Controlling factors and their interplay in catalytic molecular films. A key for their optimization in the pursuit of modern energy challenges. – CATMEC
To meet rising energy demand, inexpensive and carbon-neutral energy sources must be developed. Solar-driven electrochemical splitting of water to molecular hydrogen and oxygen are small molecule transformations that hold promise as routes of storing sunlight in energy-dense chemical bonds. Activat
Optimization of Urban Synchromodal Systems – OPUSS
The goal of the OPUSS project is to design advanced optimization algorithms to support the planning of synchromodal urban delivery networks. According to this objective, we propose to achieve fundamental advances on major challenges of synchromodal urban systems, which are the choice among alternati
Mutualization and Optimization of Urban Freights Distribution – MODUM
Various projects have been implemented in recent years or are underway in the context of freight transport in urban areas. However far the projects are limited to a partial vision of transport. This project aims to take into account all systems (single owner, centralized, self-service, etc.), as wel
Disordered honeycomb panels optimized to minimize structural impacts of non-stationary loadings on aircraft and aerospace components – DIZZY
The concept of Anderson localization has an untapped potential that could help improve aerospace and transport engineering by enabling the development of lightweight and robust materials capable of mitigating non-stationary dynamic loadings of high energy. Initially developed to explain the metal-in
Learning Boltzmann Distributions for Combinatorial Optimization – ComBo
This project is at the interface of statistical learning (mainly deep learning) and combinatorial optimization (mainly stochastic and evolutionary). Its originality is to propose a coupling between the two types of approaches, based on 3 modules: i/ the search for a continuous embedding of the comb
GUaranteed Efficiency for PAReto optimal solutions Determination in multiobjective combinatorial optimization problems – GUEPARD
The growing complexity of real world applications in various domains (e.g. optimization of communication networks, transportation and location problems, therapy planning, elaboration of public policies, web search) has led researchers in Operations Research (OR) and Decision Aiding to formulate prob
