Design of Experiment for the Industry of transportation and Optimization – PEPITO
Recent advances in simulation (hardware and software) make its use more accessible, and engineering departments have changed from scarce and costly expert simulation, to more accessible engineering calculations carried out daily. Paradoxically, the proliferation of data and results dramatically incr
Collaborative Transportation in the Urban Distribution – TCDU
This project aims at developing models, mechanisms, optimization methods, and a web platform for the collaboration between shippers or carriers in urban distribution. To achieve this goal, the research and development work of this project is divided into five tasks: 1. Developing centralized planni
Modeling of the durability of concrete constructions – MODEVIE
«The feedback shows that better management of aging structures, in a context of sustainable development, requires appropriate tools for predicting the performance and life of the structures. Furthermore, the development of such tools is also today an important issue that emerged during the conceptio
Extraction and Transfer of Knowledge in Reinforcement Learning – ExTra-Learn
In the near future, intelligent and autonomous systems will become more ubiquitous and pervasive in applications such as autonomous robotics, design of intelligent personal assistants, and management of energy smart grids. Although very diverse, these applications call for the development of deci
Chemistry of Renewable Carbon for Bio-Fertilization & Plant Nutrition – C2R-BioNut
Global population growth is rapid: 7 billion people in 2012, it is expected 9.5 billion in 2050 according to the medium scenario of the UN. This is a major challenge for agriculture as filling and secure the growing food needs in quantity and quality. One approach favors the intensification of agric
Highly efficient biofunctionalized nanofluidic system for real-time biomarker sensing with molecular enrichment and spatiotemporally resolved kinetics – DEPSLIT
The proposed research project aims at developing novel biosensing platforms based on molecular confinement and electrokinetic effects within nanofluidic channels for real-time, ultrasensitive, spatially resolved and potentially multiplexed detection of biological markers. The detailed objectives of
INferring Anomalous Diffusions in LIving Cells from single particle tracking experiments – INADILIC
The project aims at gathering physical, biological and statistical expertise to build a new protocol for reliable inference. On one hand, this protocol will be based on a better understanding of the probability distributions of inferred quantities for different types of anomalous diffusion to improv
NanOdevice mODeling for Low powEr applicationS – NOODLES
Nowadays, the nanoelectronics market is dominated by mobile applications for which ultra-low operating power (LOP) devices are required. Hence, the research efforts are devoted not so much to increase the electrical performance of the single processor, which can be achieved by using an aggressive co
Message Passing Iterative Decoders based on Imprecise Arithmetic for Multi-Objective Power-Area-Delay Optimization – DIAMOND
Throughput and power consumption are key challenges for next-generation communication systems. High throughput is required to support the continuously increasing demand of traffic volume, while power consumption incorporates sustainability concerns and is a major constraint in mobile devices. Due to
Spin transport across a customized multi-decker molecule – SPINCOMM
More than two decades ago has emerged a new technology exploiting electron spins to convey information within an electric circuitry. This technology, known as spintronics, translates in advantages such as nonvolatile storage technology, fast-data processing speed and low-power consumption. The worki
