Catalysis in water by super hydrophobe hollow shells as solid micelles – CATCALL
• Se placer dans des conditions thermodynamiques favorables. La compréhension de la thermodynamique aux interfaces des différents constituants du système (solvant, réactifs, produits incluant les produits intermédiaires) est un problème complexe. En effet, ce type de problématique soulève de nombreu
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
Cross-diffusion systems in moving domains – COMODO
The production of the thin film inside of which occur the photovoltaic phenomena accounting for the efficiency of the whole solar cell is done via a Physical Vapor Deposition (PVD) process. More precisely, a substrate wafer is introduced in a hot chamber where the different chemical species composin
Biomechanical cost quantification for wheelchair accessible cities – CapaCITIES
The manual wheelchair (MWC) is currently the most efficient device to restore locomotion when lower limb functions are, temporarily or definitively, impaired. However, MWC locomotion is a strenuous form of ambulation for the musculoskeletal system as the upper-limbs of the MWC user are permanently u
Topological IV-VI semiconductor heterostructures: A platform to study topological phase transitions and strain sensitive topology – TOPO-PLATFORM
Topological insulators (TI) are insulators that present conductive states at the interface that they form with conventional insulators, protected from dissipation by certain symmetries of the system. In the lead salts (PbSnSe/Te) that we are studying the symmetry involved is crystal symmetry rather
Eulerian numerical modelling of fluid-structure interactions: application to the simulation of biological capsules in flow – CapsEulerianFSI
The objective of the project is to develop an original HPC numerical tool to model the fluid-structure interaction of capsules under flow. The innovative nature of the project is the use of novel purely Eulerian models of fluid-structure interactions under large deformations that are adapted to mode
On the glassy nature of quantum disordered systems – GLADYS
Disorder is often present in condensed matter, in the form of impurities in solids, or in the random arrangement of glasses. It can have dramatic consequences, such as preventing transport or inducing extremely slow relaxation to equilibrium. In the quantum regime, the interplay between interference
MUltiscale and treFFtz for numerIcal traNsport – MUFFIN
In many applications, one is faced with the problem of solving numerically a set of transport equations, also called kinetic equations in this document. The huge difficulty attached to this task is that it may be computationally exhausting, mainly because of the high dimension and of the multi-scale
Viral Rhodopsins: Structure, Function and Next Generation Optogenetic Tools – Viral_Rhodopsins
Giant viruses have genomes and sizes comparable to those of some bacteria. Rhodopsin genes were identified in giant viruses which infect an algae of the Organic Lake, Antarctica. It is known that the algae is a major source of dimethyl sulfide which is known as a critical substance influencing ecolo
Vectorization of iridium(III) complexes using siderophore surrogates : a Trojan horse strategy against Gram-negative pathogenic bacteria – VECTRIUM
The bacterial resistance to antibiotics is a crucial issue in many countries. Urgent innovative solutions are needed to fight infections caused by nosocomial Gram-negative bacilli, such as P. aeruginosa, A. baumannii, etc. Alternatives strategies to antibiotherapy are expected to broaden the therape
