Durable and Environmental design of Monitored COncrete structures in Marine environment – DEMCOM
The aim of the DEMCOM project is to tackle all these challenges through the major issue that affects marine concrete structures integrity: alteration by chloride ingress. For this purpose, this project will be divided in four Tasks (T). The methodological approach, described by the figure, is the co
Stabilizing detergents through a salt-bridges network for studying and crystallizing in solution membrane proteins in a functional form. Application to multidrug ABC efflux pumps. – CLAMP
Detergents are key components in the field of structural biology and biochemistry of membranes proteins. They are required for maintaining them in solution for crystallography, ligand screening, antibody production, immunization and other applications. Unfortunately, they tend to unfold these protei
Upper Limit Technology Investigations Mandatory to Attain THz Electronics – ULTIMATE
ULTIMATE is a three-year proposal for an ambitious research project focused on upper limit technology investigations mandatory to attain THz electronics. InP-based transistors are the world’s fastest three-terminal semiconductor devices. Regardless of whether bipolar or field-effect transistors are
The Neonatal EEG Platform – BB EEG Platform
The BB EEG platform project aims at developing an Internet portal providing telemedicine and e-learning services in the field of the electroencephalographic (EEG) signals of the newborn. The EEG consists in recording the spontaneous electrical activity of the brain through several electrodes pla
Water Oil Laden Foam – WOLF
Our understanding of oil and aqueous foam interactions is only partial and so far, it is limited to foam stability using thermodynamic concepts such as entering coefficients and disjunction pressure. Yet, less is known on the ingestion mechanism of oil by the foam, on the transport and dispersion
Design of new high voltage SuperJunction power switches – SUPER SWITCH
The objective of this project is to fabricate Deep Trench SuperJunction power devices (diodes and MOSFETs) in the 600-1200 Volts voltage range. Deep vertical etchings were obtained by ICP-DRIE at LAAS and by electrochemistry at GREMAN. PIII implantations were performed on top wafer at IBS: it remain
Spectral Superdiffusive Phonon Sensor – SPiDER-man
Three challenging tasks shall tackle several scientific issues, especially in the development and the calibration of the SPSS. Among them, there is the handling of a TDTR heterodyne device to work at frequencies up to 10 THz, where thermal wave propagation dominates, keeping low signal to noise rati
Clathrates hydrates with H-bond defects for hydrogen storage – HyDfect
The natural existence of large quantities of hydrocarbon hydrates in deep oceans and permafrost is probably at the origin of numerous applications in the broad areas of energy and environmental sciences. At a fundamental level, the peculiar nanostructuration of clathrate hydrates confers on these ma
Development and characterization of a multifonctional window for energy savings and indoor air quality – WINFIL
The building sector represents 44% of the energy consumption in France. It is responsible of more than 123 million tonnes of C02 emissions, making it one of the key areas of the energy transition. At the same time, the increasing pollution of the air in urban areas, especially airborne particles, se
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
