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
Colloidal Assembly In Free Energy Gradients – COATING
Whether we use it to manufacture increasingly complex materials or because our bodies have developed solutions to resist it, drying is a ubiquitous process in our lives. Water has a preponderant role in our world and undergoes a crucial cycle based on phase transitions. Water evaporation occurs as s
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
Electric plug adapters for proteins: Activating iron-sulfur enzymes to fully exploit Nature's catalytic potential for biotechnology – IRONPLUGNPLAY
Microbes are routinely engineered to synthesise chemicals from renewable materials. Improvements in microbial engineering are accelerating the global transition to a sustainable bio-based economy, as more chemicals are made in a manner similar to beer brewing, rather than being refined from oil. At
Ultrasound welding of papers and nanocelluloses – ULTRACELL
The main ambition of the ULTRACELL project is to provide proof of the feasibility of a new industrial adhesive-free assembling process or bio-based heat-sealable layers. The process developed should have performance comparable to assemblies obtained by adhesive or heat sealable layer used today, in
MOdelling of Porous Electrodes for an Optimized MAterial Design – MOMA
This project is dedicated to a bottom-up approach to optimize the design of porous electrode materials devoted to biofuel cells and biosensors. These devices operate on the basis of complex enzymatic electrochemical redox reactions coupled to mass transfer of substrates (glucose and O2) and electron
Scalable routing in Multi-Modal transportation networks – MultiMod
The targeted breakthroughs of MultiMod is the scalability of routing algorithms exploiting real-time events. We ambition to do in large-scale networks like Ile-de-France (where existing solutions are mostly mono-modal) better than what is done in Lyon (planed multimodal), by including unplanned tran
Non-Fullerene-Acceptor based polymer solar cells with 15% efficiency and 10-year lifetime – NFA-15
Polymer solar cells (PSC) are promising technologies for production of photovoltaic solar energy at low cost. Thanks to their flexibility, semi-transparency and color tuning PSCs are only interesting for building integrated photovoltaic (BIPV), but also unique energy provider for indoor and consumer
