Quantum and ensemble control in small times – QUEST
A variety of physically relevant quantum systems, whose evolution is governed by bilinear Schrödinger PDEs, are known to be controllable in large time. Nevertheless, there are examples which are controllable in large time, but not in small times. This obstruction happens e.g. in the presence of sub-
Sail WING propulsion in atmospheric conditions – SWING
The project is devoted to the study of a new mode of propulsion for maritime transport: Wind-Assisted Ship Propulsion (WASP). The design of such wing-sails meets strict criteria and sea conditions which make it impossible to study at a 1:1 scale. Although, geometrically similar to wings used in aero
Encapsulation Process by Droplet Interface Crossing – EPIC
EPIC addresses the industrial scale development of an encapsulation process based on the generation of calibrated droplets of aqueous phase and their coating by crossing a liquid-liquid interface. The objective is to produce monodisperse capsules with controlled shell size, thickness and content. Th
Graph Signal Processing – GRAPHSIP
Massive datasets have now to be processed in many different application areas. These data are often represented by graphs to encode interactions. When data vectors are associated with graph vertices, a so-called graph signal is obtained. The processing of such graph signals faces several open challe
Development of grafting processes in supercritical CO2 for microsystems – PROGRESS
The MEMS sector develops promising new applications in the field of life, such as micro and nano-sensors, analyzers and lab-on-chips. Their manufacture requires realizing organic layers deposition with controlled nanometer-range thickness, in order to obtain functional surfaces (sensitive part of th
Prediction of the physical properties of next-generation refrigerant fluids – PREDIREF
On account of the constraints imposed by the European and International legislations, the refrigerant industry must constantly find alternative refrigerant fluids that have lower impacts on the global warming of Earth and Ozone layer. Besides the safety and environmental constraints, these alte
RELIAble ThermoElectric Generators – RELIATEG
The thermoelectric technology enables the direct conversion from heat into electrical energy or vice-versa. New opening markets can be found from the recovery of waste heat, for instance in the field of transport, while contributing both to the reduction of fuel consumption and of greenhouse gas emi
Exosomes from stem cells for the treatment of radiological burns – EXOCET
Acute high dose irradiation accidents occur every year worldwide, either resulting from the loss of radioactive sources or from over-irradiation following radiotherapies or interventional radiology procedures. In addition, the risk of a terrorist attack has also been seriously considered for recent
Nano-Enabled Antimicrobial Food Packaging Incorporating Natural Bioactives from Mediterranean Agri-Wastes – A- BLOCK
Active food packaging systems have gained a lot of interest as they play a critical role in extending the shelf life of food products while reducing the risk of microbial growth. It is well known that extending the shelf life of food by even one day has a huge impact on sustainability in terms of co
Development of GaN process on silicon substrate for millimetre wave applications – SATELLITE
Gallium nitride based High Electron Mobility Transistors (HEMTs) offer the unique possibility to design and fabricate microwave power devices giving outstanding performance at high frequency because the microwave power density is several order of magnitude higher than those obtained on GaAs or InP b
