High energy density thermochemical heat storage for district heating networks – Stock-HD
The Stock-HD project aims at developing the use of renewable energies and improving the performance of district heating networks. It aims to develop a thermo-chemical heat storage system with high energy density (based on chemical sorption) at temperatures compatible with its integration in district
Mobile Direct Borohydride Fuel Cells – MobiDiC
Sodium borohydride is a fuel of high-energy density, easier to store and transport than gaseous hydrogen. Its oxidation in a direct borohydride fuel cell (DBFC) would lead to an electrochemical generator capable to compete (or even overwhelm) lithium batteries in terms of energy density and therefor
Surface acoustic wave micro-sensors based on ALuminium nitride/Sapphire Structures for high-temperature Applications – SALSA
The SALSA project aims at developing a micro-sensor enabling wireless process control in industrial applications operating at elevated temperatures (up to 1000°C) where no conventional wireless sensor can survive. The sensor consists of a surface acoustic wave (SAW) device based on AlN/Sapphire laye
Robust scheduling with budgeted processing times – ROBUST
Scheduling is a very wide topic in combinatorial optimization with applications ranging from production and manufacturing systems to transportation and logistics systems. Stated generally, the objective of scheduling is to allocate optimally scarce resources to activities over time. More specificall
Seismic monitoring of the Subsurface along Transportation Infrastructure using passive measurement on TeleCOM fiber-Optic – SITcomOptics
Among the underground geohazards, those linked to the superficial karsts under cover are the cause of numerous collapses. Their evolution can be accelerated by exceptional hydrogeological process (floods, sudden water tables variation), the intensity and frequency of which increases with climate cha
Multi Scale Modelling of Particle Transport in Soils – TRANSOL
Particle transport in a granular medium presents specific characteristics due to the possible evolution of this medium by addition or pulling out of particles. Phenomena linked to the transport of solid particles can be found in many engineering fields. Such examples include civil and environmental
Spin and charge transport in single crystal magnetic tunnel junctions – SPINCHAT
The understanding of the complex transport mechanisms in single crystal MTJs represents the key parameter towards the improvement and the better control of the tunnel magneto-resistive (TMR) effects in MTJ devices such as sensors, read-heads or magnetic non-volatile memories (MRAM). Within this proj
COlloidal nanocrystal Plasmonic detector: a new paradigm for INfrared optoelectronics – COPIN
Colloidal nanocrystals are attracting an increasing interest since their recent introduction as light emitters for the last generation of displays. Their role in optoelectronics is expected to further develop, as several companies are diversifying the use of these nanoparticles for applications in o
Molecular ENgINeering of the triplet state energy level of BipoLar organic semi-condUctors: Towards nEw molecular designs. – Men in blue
The research topic we wish to develop herein deals with novel molecular designs of host materials for high-efficiency/stability blue Phosphorescent Organic Light Emitting Diodes (PhOLEDs). Indeed, in order to reduce the energy consummation, new efficient sources of low-energy white light are require
human inspired autonomous navigation in crowds – Hianic
The HIANIC cybercar will analyze its environment by detecting people, evaluating crowd flows, recognizing typical scenarios. It will infer the reaction of the passengers in order to navigate in a way that makes them feel comfortable. Several navigation strategies will collaborate to adapt the moveme
