Phosphate capture enhancement in peritoneal dialysis process using designed recyclable iron oxide nanostructures – PHODIA
In patients suffering of chronic kidney disease (CKD), phosphates accumulation in blood is very dangerous and dialysis is the only way to remove them from blood, for those waiting for transplantation. Phosphate imbalance leads to a high cardiovascular mortality and to bone disorder in dialysis patie
Formal APPRoach and artificial intElligeNce for the moniToring and Intervention optimization of mobile agents in industrial Sites – APPRENTIS
The APPRENTIS project concerns the safety of industrial or port areas presenting risks (e.g., fire, explosion or toxic leakage). The operational objective is to provide a decision support software tool to plan monitoring and rescue patrols. This tool will minimize the cost of the patrols carried out
Cooling devices based on non-equilibrium transport in semiconductor heterostructures – GELATO
GELATO aims at designing disruptive highly efficient thermionic cooling nano-devices. It is motivated by the urgent technological need to control joule heating in nanoelectronics in a context of energy shortage. So far, most of the studies on solid-state cooling are based on the classical thermoelec
First Encounters in Complex Environments – ComplexEncounters
The goal of the project is to calculate analytically the statistics of encounter times between random walkers in complex environments. The first passage time (FPT), defined as the first time for two random walkers to meet « by chance », is a key property of random walk theory, notably in the context
Platform for multisCale simulation of hot carriers: electrons and phonons for energy harvesting – PlaCho
The project Placho (Platform for multisCale simulation of hot carriers: electrons and phonons for energy harvesting) aims to develop an original multi scale (DFT+Monte Carlo+NEGF) numerical platform from atoms to device specifically dedicated to energy conversion. This versatile tool based on first
A CONVENIENT APPROACH TO GLYCOAMPHIPHILES AS ACTIVE LAYERS OF LCD-BASED BIOSENSORS – SWEET-DISPLAY
In our bodies, as in plants and bacteria, certain molecules called glycoconjugates play an essential role. These molecules are formed of sugars attached to proteins or fats, and are found in particular on the surface of cells. They enable communication between cells, recognition of microbes, and par
Tractable quasI-Newton non-smooth Optimization Methods for large scale Data Science – TRINOM-DS
Structured composite non-smooth optimization has proved to be extremely useful in data science, where a common trend is the deluge of large-scale multidimensional data, which drives the need for more efficient optimization schemes. While, so far, primarily, first-order schemes have been widely used
Synthesis and physical properties of new SUPERconducting NICKEL oxides – SUPERNICKEL
Superconductivity is a fascinating quantum state of condensed matter. Its study and understanding have always aroused immense interest in fundamental physics, but also in materials science and its exploitation leads to numerous technological applications: lossless current transport, energy storage,
Physics-informed Artificial Intelligence for Cutting Brake Emissions from Electric Vehicles – PI-CUBE
The aim of this project is to develop a new braking control system for electric vehicles, using artificial intelligence (AI) to significantly reduce (i) brake particle emissions and (ii) noise emissions. These two emissions are major sources of environmental pollution and health risks in urban areas
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
