Closed- loop control of the wake of a road vehicle – COWAVE
In this project, we propose strategies for reducing drag and fuel consumption of cars by closed-loop control. We target robust solutions applicable to a large range of operating conditions including changing oncoming velocity and transient side winds. To achieve this goal, we combine passive and act
Investigating large scale bioreactor effects in microbial application – ScaleApp
Traditional bioprocessing engineering-based scale up procedures cover reactor design and stirrer operation, but not physiological adaptation of the cells to variable environmental conditions prevalent in such technical cultivation systems. This decoupled approach between engineering and microbial ph
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
VIRTualization of Experimental facilities in structural aCoustics by wall pressure syntHesis – VIRTECH
Noise pollution and acoustic comfort are major challenges in product design, particularly in the transportation industry. Evaluating the acoustic performance of structures such as windows or portholes, aircraft fuselages, or even frames and openings in buildings requires the use of specific faciliti
Physics of degradation in organic, nanocrystal, and hybrid solar cells – PROCES
Solar cells based on colloidal nanocrystal QDs and hybrid perovskite have shown remarkable progress in terms of power-conversion efficiency over the past decade. Yet the Achilles heel of these devices lies in their environmental instability. This project thus aims to develop fundamental understandin
Pyrolyse rapide de la biomasse des déchets: double cinétique
The decarbonization of both the energy and chemical industry sectors is a major challenge. The Pyrokine project by allowing us to dive into the heart of the Fast pyrolysis process is helping us to assess and further progress on the process modeling development; and therefore, unleash the potential o
Simulation of latex drying: from the fundamentals to complex formulation – LatexDry
While it is well known that the drying of latex films play a critical role in paints, cosmetics and inks, a realistic description of the drying process is in fact not yet available. The final properties of the film, such as its adhesion, its optical and mechanical properties depend not only on the f
Membrane microdomain HIR proteins: control of iron uptake machinery and new functions in Arabidopsis – NUTRIR
The main objective of the NUTRIR project is to develop a new area of research aiming at better understanding the function of HIR proteins and membrane nanodomains in plants. The first objective is to: (i) characterize the small Arabidopsis HIR protein family (HIR1-HIR4) at the cellular level in t
Electrically pumped hybrid perovskites based light-emitting devices – EMIPERO
The aim of the consortium is to realize electrically pumped hybrid perovskites based light-emitting devices, such as electroluminescent diodes (LED) and laser diodes (LD). The project proposes a complete study since the fundamental properties of the material in a view of its optimization for the las
Ferroelectric control of organic/ferromagnetic spinterface – FEOrgSpin
The main objectives of the project are as following: Objective 1: Explore different kinds of ferroelectric organic materials to understand the observed FE modulation of spin-polarization; Objective 2: Engineer interface with different FM metals to study the spin polarization and magnetic anisotro
