Aerosol-Cloud Interactions: the role of organic compounds on cloud droplet activation – ORACLE
Cloud droplets in the Earth’s atmosphere form on ubiquitous aerosol particles. Predictions of cloud droplet size and number concentration derived from aerosol properties are still poor, leading to large uncertainties in the radiation budget and climate projections. Cloud droplet formation on cloud c
Aide à l'éco-conception des quartiers par l'analyse de cycle de vie – ACV Quartiers
Environmental awareness of local communities has led to develop sustainable urban projects, but without any precise definition of such concepts. Yet the importance of risks, from local to planetary levels, suggests a more rigorous management of these issues. In this context, life cycle assessment
Air Loop and Thermal management Optimization for fuel cell Systems – ALTOS
Hydrogen is expected to play a major role in the energy transition and the decarbonation of the transportation sector. For automotive applications using fuel cell electrical vehicles FCEV, the propulsion system has to be able to handle a wide range of operating points in steady and transient conditi
Algorithm Design for Microrobots with Energy Constraints – ANCOR
We consider collaborative tasks for teams of mobile robots, such as search and exploration, delivering packages, data collection and pattern formation. We determine bounds on the energy requirements and team size for various tasks, provide complexity results under energy constraints and develop app
Algorithms, Approximations, Sparsity and Sketching for AI – AllegroAssai
AllegroAssai will address the fundamental scientific challenge of designing AI techniques endowed not only with solid statistical guarantees (to ensure their performance, fairness, privacy, etc.) but also with provable resource-efficiency (e.g. in terms of bytes and flops, which impact energy consum
All IP Networks for the FutuRe Internet of Smart Ob- jects – IRIS
Smart Objects and the Internet of Things provide unparalleled means to connect the physical world with the digital world, enabling important applications such as Smart Infrastructures or Smart Cities. But existing systems are typically proprietary and tailored to one specific application, which s
All-Polymer Solar Cells – POLYSOLPV
POLYSOLPV HAs the objective to demonstrate over the next 3 years a new generation of cheap and printable polymer-based solar cells with a power conversion efficiency of 9-10%. The cost of photovoltaic cells based on silicon has been a major impediment to their widespread deployment and organic photo
All-Solid-state litHium sulfUr Battery with a poLymer Electrolyte – SHUTTLE
Li metal is the best negative electrode due to its low electrochemical potential and high capacity, at least 10 times higher than that of graphite in Li-ion battery. However, the uneven Li electrodeposition onto metallic Li produces dendrites limiting the battery coulombic efficiency and which may g
An innovative non-mutant neoepitopes-based immunotherapy targeting immune-escaped tumors – NEOCOMBO
Although promising, immunotherapies targeting PD-1 are effective in only a fraction of cancer patients and the mechanisms associated with resistance are poorly elucidated. Indeed, tumors use additional pathways to evade CD8 T-cell recognition in particular alterations in peptide transporters TAP. We
Analysis and characterization of pneumatic conveying of non-conventional solids – PHOBARS
The PHOBARS project (Pneumatic Handling Of Bio And Recycled Solids) aims at studying the pneumatic transport of non-conventional powders resulting from plastic wastes or second-generation biomasses. The scientific objective of the project is to understand the mechanisms and phenomena involved in the
