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
Phase-space GRANULation in fusion plasmas – GRANUL
Thermonuclear fusion is an ideal solution to the energy crisis: a clean, safe, global, abundant and sustainable source of energy. A promising approach is to heat an ionized gas (a plasma) of hydrogen isotopes at 150 million degrees, and confine it in a donut-shaped magnetic field. After decades of p
Personalized Optimization with Human Feedback – Human-O
In this project, I propose to explore and design new algorithms at the intersection of optimiza- tion, dynamical systems, and learning of the user’s costs and constraints, allowing end users to have a choice between possible decisions, and learn from it. [S1] Learning to optimize for dynamical syst
Permanent Activity Monitoring and Attack Localization – SCALA
SCADA (Supervisory Control And Data Acquisition) systems are used in many business sectors such as transportation, energy, telecoms or water distribution. Most of these sectors are defined in Europe as mission critical sectors and, as a consequence, critical installations have to be protected. For
Performance and Systemic optimization of Emergency medicine – POSAMU
For the SAMU, the urban service typical of the growing gap between the logic of the healthcare system and that of the sustainable city, the constraints are increasingly more intense. Because of traffic problems at certain hours and difficult accessibility to some areas generated by modern urban stru
Peptidoglycan cross-linking by L,D-transpeptidases in Clostridioides difficile: role in antibiotic resistance and toxin release – DIFFICROSS
C. difficile poses a serious, ongoing, public health threat. Patients are typically colonized by C. difficile after antibiotics treatment, which disrupts the intestinal microbiota homeostasis. ß-lactam antibiotics are recognized as major causative agents of C. difficile infection but the molecular m
Parallel Microrobot localised in a large workspace – micro-SPIDER
Current microrobots remain very large compared to the size of the objects handled, which does not allow them to reach industrial speeds. In addition, the working space of micromanipulators is often reduced because, on the one hand, the required precision levels impose a limitation of the actuator st
PLATFORM OF NUMERICAL COMPUTATION, ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE AND WORLD DATABASE OF HIGH-FREQUENCY ENVIRONMENTAL, FINANCIAL AND SOCIETAL DATA
Over the last ten years, two important initiatives to provide researchers with reliable access to financial data were launched in France by Eurofidai (UAR CNRS 3390) and the Institut Louis Bachelier (ILB). The Eurofidai database contains daily European financial data for common stocks, m
PHOTOASSISTED PRODUCTION OF HYDROGEN FROM UREA OXIDATION – HYUREA
The project is structured in 4 parts: (1) the development of 100 cm2 nanostructured Fe2O3 photoanodes decorated with Ni-Metal nanocatalysts for efficient solar energy conversion (UV-Vis) with photocurrents above 5 mA/cm2 in the presence of urea in urine (0.33 M). (2) the development of an efficien
OxyChalcogenides as new Thermoelectrics – OTher
About 65% of the energy used in industrial processes is lost as waste heat. Part of this waste heat could be converted into electrical power by using thermoelectric modules, which would reduce the needs for electrical power production. To do so, efficient thermoelectric materials are required, but t
