Multi-functional memory elements using supramolecular self constructing interconnects – MultiSelf
The field of organic electronics is of growing importance, in particular for portable electronics, as well as low power and cheap electronics applications. Improving the conductivity of materials, as well as the interface between organic components and metallic interconnects are major problems, key
Multi-configuration density-functional theories for excited states – MCFUNEX
Time-dependent density-functional theory (TD-DFT) is the standard approach for computing electronic excitation energies. Despite its success, TD-DFT, in its usual approximate formulation, cannot treat multiconfigurational electron correlation effects adequately and it completely misses multiple elec
Multi-Stabilized Hybrid Membranes for Fuel Cell and Electrolyser – MULTISTABLE
Renewable energy sources like solar and wind are weather dependent andintermittent by nature. The hydrogen technology offers thanks to the proton exchange membrane water electrolyzer (PEMWE) a chemical storage solution for the intermittent renewable electric energy produced, this chemical energy bei
Multi-Image Restoration and fusion: from Applied Mathematics to the imaging Industry – MIRIAM
This research program deals with the quality enhancement of digital images. Specifically, we consider the increasingly common situations where several acquisitions of the same scene are available, possibly through a video sequence. An issue of growing importance is to fuse these im- ages in order to
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
Monolithic INtegration of functional Oxides on Silicon for novel micro-system devices – MINOS
The objective of this project is to integrate high quality functional (piezoelectric and ferromagnetic) oxide heterostructures on Si using SrTiO3/Si(001) templates, in order to develop a novel generic demonstrator device which is expected to validate the ability of reversible electrical modulation i
Monitoring by EEG for the evAluation of Somnolence to improve SAFEty – MEEGASAFE
Drowsiness is an intermediate state between wake and sleep that induces an instable wake state and impairs motor and cognitive performances. Drowsiness has been identified as a major cause of traffic, professional and domestic accidents, associated with human, economic and social consequences. Even
Monge-Ampère and Computational Geometry – MAGA
The (real) Monge-Ampère equation is a fully nonlinear elliptic equation with a strong geometric nature. It can indeed be used, following Minkowski, to recover a convex hypersurface from the knowledge of its Gaussian curvature. This equation also plays a central role in the theory of optimal transpor
Molecules for spin electronics – MOSE
This research combines molecular electronics and spin electronics by studying electric transport properties of molecule(s) connecting two magnetic electrodes. The planned experiments intend to: - fabricate magnetic electrodes separated by 1-2 nm, with optimized mechanical stability properties. The m
Molecular mechanism and reactivities of the complex and highly active Fe-hydrogenase from Clostridium acetobutylicum – CAFE
1) Scientific Background and objectives. Hydrogenases are the enzymes that catalyse the biological conversion between hydrogen and protons, a reaction that is of interest both from a biological and chemical viewpoint. They may be used as catalysts at the anode of bio-fuel cells, or for hydrogen prod
