Polariton Thermal Diode – POLARITONDIODE
This project aims to develop a conductive thermal diode driven by the heat generated by surface electromagnetic waves (polaritons) propagating along the surface of polar nanowires with a metallic coating. Experimental data show that this coating acts as a polariton launcher and hence its presence
3D Fe/Cu-PEROVskites for electrochemically assisted TREATment of wastewaters – PEROV-TREAT
PEROV-TREAT aims at integrating perovskite-based porous materials in an electrochemical process for wastewater treatment in order to improve the treatment of persistent micropollutants and the management of antibiotic resistance, with the objective of reusing treated wastewaters. The application wil
turbulent closure parameter identification for the surface layer of marine circulation models. – TURBIDENT
Fluxes between the oceanic surface layer and atmosphere is one of the main difficulty to solve so as to ensure realistic results for the numerical models of marine circulation. This is particularly true in the coastal region. Indeed, the upper mixing layer is often a weakness of numerical modelling
NanOswimmers for Medicine And Diagnosis – NOMAD
The aim of this proposal is to propose the most efficient and controlled microswimmers with radio controlled therapy function like drug delivery. The swimming performance and colloidal cargo transport function of microswimmers will be evaluated inside smart microfluidic control platform. A final exp
Localization of the Atomic Kicked Rotor: Interplay between Disorder and Interaction – LAKRIDI
This projects aims at studying transport and localization properties in complex quantum systems. More precisely, we want to study how the interplay of disorder and interaction affects the transport properties of waves. We especially want to study how interactions between particles affect Anderson lo
DIAMOND VERTICAL POWER MOSFET – MOVeToDiam
The ambition of the MOVeToDiam program is to achieve a major technological breakthrough by implementing crucial technological steps in the emerging «Diamond Semiconductor« sector. The targeted devices are based on MOS (Metal Oxide Semiconductor) structures: a vertical p-channel U-MOSFET (metal-oxide
Phonon heat transport in semiconductors containing mesoscale nano-inclusions – MESOPHON
The core of the project is the understanding of the fundamental processes occurring when a phonon of a given wavelength is scattered by a mesoscale-object having a size comparable to the phonon wavelength. This problem, which appears to be a classic case of electromagnetic wave physics known as the
Optimization of functional properties of particulate aerated materials – ProMAP
This project deals with issues related to Foamed Particulate Materials (FPM), encountered as foams produced from granular suspensions, such as cement or plaster pastes for example. Those materials have a high development potential in the context of thermal renovation of buildings. However, their the
Deriving Performance-Optimized Gestural Interaction – GESTURE
- Define the design space of gesture-based interaction - Elaborate a model of gesture-based interaction - Build an optimisation method for gesture-based interaction Technical results - A gestural vocabulary on an interactive watch published at the national HMI'17 conference. - A smartphone-based
Data, geometry and curvature – DataGC
Riemannian data are ubiquitous in modern statistics and machine learning: Low-rank matrix completion, dictionary learning, matrix factorization, computer vision, shape statistics, optimal transport, etc. Moreover, in an era where extraordinarily rich, yet also complex and heterogeneous datasets b
