Microstructure and mechanical properties of polycrystalline nickel-base superalloys of the aerojet engines of the future – TOPAZE
The French group Safran is one of the world leaders in the field of superalloy metallurgy and processing. This position must be defended in a context of strong international industrial competition. In this very high-tech field, industrial competitiveness is closely related to advances in scientific
Surface structuration for high mobility Silicon Carbide MOSFETs – riseMOS
Sustainable energy production and efficient energy conversion are major concerns of our society. Silicon carbide (SiC) metal-oxide semiconductor transistors (MOSFETs) have thus taken on strategic importance in decentralized electrical distribution grids or electrical system controls. They increase s
PollutAnts and gReenhouse Gases emissiOns moNitoring from spAce at high ResolUTion – ARGONAUT
Coordinated monitoring and mitigation strategies from the territories scale to the country scale are needed to reduce pollutant emissions to non-impacting levels for human health and ecosystems and reduce GHG emissions to limit the CC effects. Monitoring the emissions at a high resolution are then r
PHOTOASSISTED PRODUCTION OF HYDROGEN FROM UREA OXIDATION – HYUREA
The project is structured in 4 parts: (1) the development of 100 cm2 nanostructured Fe2O3 photoanodes decorated with Ni-Metal nanocatalysts for efficient solar energy conversion (UV-Vis) with photocurrents above 5 mA/cm2 in the presence of urea in urine (0.33 M). (2) the development of an efficien
Catalysis in water by super hydrophobe hollow shells as solid micelles – CATCALL
• Se placer dans des conditions thermodynamiques favorables. La compréhension de la thermodynamique aux interfaces des différents constituants du système (solvant, réactifs, produits incluant les produits intermédiaires) est un problème complexe. En effet, ce type de problématique soulève de nombreu
Phase-space GRANULation in fusion plasmas – GRANUL
Thermonuclear fusion is an ideal solution to the energy crisis: a clean, safe, global, abundant and sustainable source of energy. A promising approach is to heat an ionized gas (a plasma) of hydrogen isotopes at 150 million degrees, and confine it in a donut-shaped magnetic field. After decades of p
Cross-diffusion systems in moving domains – COMODO
The production of the thin film inside of which occur the photovoltaic phenomena accounting for the efficiency of the whole solar cell is done via a Physical Vapor Deposition (PVD) process. More precisely, a substrate wafer is introduced in a hot chamber where the different chemical species composin
Biomechanical cost quantification for wheelchair accessible cities – CapaCITIES
The manual wheelchair (MWC) is currently the most efficient device to restore locomotion when lower limb functions are, temporarily or definitively, impaired. However, MWC locomotion is a strenuous form of ambulation for the musculoskeletal system as the upper-limbs of the MWC user are permanently u
Topological IV-VI semiconductor heterostructures: A platform to study topological phase transitions and strain sensitive topology – TOPO-PLATFORM
Topological insulators (TI) are insulators that present conductive states at the interface that they form with conventional insulators, protected from dissipation by certain symmetries of the system. In the lead salts (PbSnSe/Te) that we are studying the symmetry involved is crystal symmetry rather
Eulerian numerical modelling of fluid-structure interactions: application to the simulation of biological capsules in flow – CapsEulerianFSI
The objective of the project is to develop an original HPC numerical tool to model the fluid-structure interaction of capsules under flow. The innovative nature of the project is the use of novel purely Eulerian models of fluid-structure interactions under large deformations that are adapted to mode
