Novel AlGaN channel transistors for high voltage applications – ACTION
The ACTION project aims to explore and develop a new breed of transistors using an ultra-wide bandgap AlGaN channel. This PRCE project is made up of three academic laboratories, CRHEA, IEMN and the Néel Institute, and the startup EasyGaN as the industrial partner. These AlGaN transistors will make
Adapting T. reesei cellulolytic enzymes for Simultaneous Saccharification and Fermentation – ACTIFE
The advent of a non-food biomass to ethanol industry (2nd generation ethanol) is a significant challenge for the transport sector. In this production process, pretreated plant biomass is hydrolysed by enzymes produced by a filamentous fungus, Trichoderma reesei. These enzymes cut cellulose into suga
Cationic Covalent Organic Frameworks as Anion Exchange Membranes for Electrochemical Energy Applications – COFFEE
The COFFEE project is a fundamental research project that seeks to combine research expertise from different European research institutes and universities, across multiple areas of materials chemistry to develop innovative anion exchange membrane (AEM) solutions for electrochemical energy conversion
The return to an aquatic life, the evolution of propulsive efficiency & biomimetics – DRAGON2
The return to an aquatic life has shaped many organisms and profoundly impacted fossil and extant marine ecosystems. Understanding how terrestrial organisms adapted to a drastically novel environment poses fundamental challenges, however. Indeed, in most lineages this major transition entailed deep
Thermoelectric antimonides for high temperature applications – HIGHTHERM
Main issues and general objectives are to demonstrate that rare earth antimonides have high thermoelectric figure of merit at high temperature and that they are stable enough at these temperatures (1000°C and higher) so that they could be use for making p-type thermoelectric legs that could be coupl
Uncertainty quantification for flows and optimisation – UFO
The applications we have in mind in this project deal with transport (aeronautics) and energy. The const constraints for the civilian and military programs need to master the associated risks, from an accurate evaluation of uncertainties at any stage of the project. One can expect a better control o
Ge-based Single Photon Avalanche Diodes: from comprehensive characterization to advanced simulation – GeSPAD
The GeSPAD project is devoted to achieve a major breakthrough in the development of the next-generation of Single Photon Avalanche Diodes (SPAD), a high-sensitivity optoelectronic detector with many applications in X-ray tomography, biochemical sensors, DNA/protein microarray scanning, engine/turbin
Approximate Bayesian solutions for the interpretation of large datasets and complex models – ABSint
Our central purpose is to rovide a wider and generic array of statistical tools able to handle “big data” without jeopardising either the depth of the statistical analysis or the precision of the statistical predictions derived from such data. The impacts of the project are two-fold: (1) scienti
Integrating operator health and performance dilemmas into the planning and scheduling of intelligent production systems – Prod4Human
The production of goods faces increasing challenges in optimization due to product diversity, heightened consumer demands, and fluctuating demand. This phenomenon is particularly pronounced in the e-commerce sector, often referred to as the “parcel factory,” which is directly impacted by these varia
Organized Pedestrian Movement in Public Spaces: Preparation and Crisis Management of Urban Parades and Demonstration Marches with High Conflict Potential – OPMoPS
Parades of highly controversial groups or of political demonstration marches are considered as a major threat to urban security, since the diametrically opposed opinions of participants and opponents may result in violence or even terroristic attacks. Due to the movement of the urban parades and dem
