Approximate Bayesian solutions for the interpretation of large datasets and complex models – ABSint
Our central purpose is to rovide a wider and generic array of statistical tools able to handle “big data” without jeopardising either the depth of the statistical analysis or the precision of the statistical predictions derived from such data. The impacts of the project are two-fold: (1) scienti
Property Changes of Multiphasic Fluids by Geometrical Confinement in Advanced Mesoporous Materials – NanoLiquids
- A first objective is the assessment of the physical properties of the bulk binary solvents. Especially at the mesoscopic scale, there exists a growing number of evidences that supramolecular order and dynamical heterogeneities develop in liquids (especially H-bonded, binary systems, viscous, or su
High Optical Resolution for Unlabelled Samples – HORUS
Three-dimensional optical microscopy is an invaluable tool in many fields, particularly in biology, thanks to its unique properties for imaging living specimens. In recent years, tremendous progress has been made with the development of structured illumination techniques, PALM / STORM, and STED. How
MAgnon Excitation in the STRong Out-of-equilibrium regime – MAESTRO
The consortium has previously established the relevance of hybrid insulating ferromagnetic (YIG) / normal metal (Pt) systems in this context. It also uncovered issues related to the non-linear effects that limit the amplitude of the spin waves on which the operation of these devices is based. To ove
Charge transfer control in small molecular architectures – CHACRA
Charge transfer processes are essential in various fields of technology, chemistry, and biology, playing a crucial role in vital functions and technological innovations. In biology, these processes are fundamental for photosynthesis and cellular respiration. Understanding the mechanisms of converti
Bio-physicochemistry of tropical clouds at Maïdo (La Réunion Island): processes and impacts on secondary organic aerosols formation – BIO-MAIDO
The objective of the BIO-MAIDO program is to better understand the chemical and biological multiphase mechanisms controlling the formation of secondary organic aerosols (SOA). Uncertainties on the processes of formation and transformation of atmospheric organic aerosols need to be lifted to understa
Molecular Characterization of Hybrid Organic-Inorganic Membranes for Gas Separation under Harsh Conditions – MOLHYB
Gas separation by dense polymer membranes is a very promising alternative to the cryogenic distillation or adsorption separation processes due to its much lower energy costs. This is critical for chemical industries, where the separation of mixtures accounts for over 50% of the energy costs. In addi
Hybrid tools for non-destructive evaluation and monitoring of infrastructures: optimized management for their durability – OHMIGOD
Structural health monitoring is a crucial issue for infrastructure managers and owners in different fields such as transport and energy civil engineering and buildings. Around the world, almost 15,000 infrastructures are in a degraded or even critical condition. At present, infrastructure managers r
Programed genetic transformation: Staphylococcus aureus as a new model organism – GenTranSa
Areas of active research in this field include the regulation of competence, the evolutionary function of competence (genome plasticity, antibiotic resistance spreading) and the mechanisms of exogenous DNA natural transformation (transport and processing). In this project, I propose to investigate a
Microscale spatiotemporal investigation of multi-species electroactive biofilms using optical microfluidic platform – MICROBE
The MICROBE research project is a fundamental scientific project in which we plan to clarify at the microscopic level a whole host of grey areas concerning the fundamental processes and mechanisms responsible for the formation and evolution of electroactive biofilms on the surface of electrodes. Key
