Artificial gauge fields on neutral atoms – AGAFON
This project was devoted to the theoretical and experimental study of cold atomic gases submitted to external artificial magnetic fields and/or exhibiting permanent currents. From the theory point of view, we first wanted to explore the most promising situations to generate such situation and pro
Nanostructures for Energy Optimization – NOE
The scientific aim of the Noé project is to investigate, at a fundamental level, the physics of coupled electrons and phonons transport in nanostructures, and to propose novel structures providing efficient energy conversion. On the one hand, the thermoelectric performance of Si/SiGe nanowires will
Valorization of new High Added Value Compounds (HAVC) from European vine and wine production solid wastes – technological, economical and social issues – VALUXTRACT
The extraction yield of bio-active compounds from plant materials is influenced mainly by the process of extraction. The traditional extraction technique employs large amounts of solvents. New processes such as Pulsed Electric Fields, High Voltage Electric Discharges and Subcritical Water Extraction
Permanent Activity Monitoring and Attack Localization – SCALA
SCADA (Supervisory Control And Data Acquisition) systems are used in many business sectors such as transportation, energy, telecoms or water distribution. Most of these sectors are defined in Europe as mission critical sectors and, as a consequence, critical installations have to be protected. For
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
Online Security Management and Reliability Toolkit for Water Distribution Networks – SMaRT-OnlineWDN
Water distribution Networks (WDNs) are critical infrastructures that are exposed to deliberate or accidental contamination. Until now, no monitoring system is capable of protecting a WDN in real time. In the immediate future water service utilities that are installing water quantity and quality sens
Decision Support System for Large-Scale Evacuation Logistics – DSS_Evac_Logistique
In this project, we consider large-scale evacuations of mid-size towns in situations, where evacuees have to change their center of life for a time lasting from several days to many months with the eventual goal to return to their respective homes. We consider the complete chain of events, including
Combining Analyses for the Study of Numerical Invariants – CAFEIN
The development of critical embedded systems enables today the use of formal methods in order to guaranty the good behavior of the final system. These formal methods are nevertheless mainly used locally in an isolated fashion and are not the principal mean of V&V. CAFEIN's project identified issu
Soft Defects Diagnosis in wired networks – SODDA
In thirty years, the cable length in cars was multiplied by ten, now more than 4000 meters. In a modern car, one counts up to 100 sensors and 1800 connections: the interconnection network is regarded by manufacturers as a weak part of modern vehicles. The increase in complexity is accompanied by the
Photo-Induced ChArge Separation in Self-assembled donor-acceptor block co-Oligomers for photovoltaic applications – PICASSO
Organic materials show high potentials in the development of so-called plastic solar cells. Compared to silicium technology, organic photovoltaic modules are lighter, flexible and allow an easier and costless manufacture. Although considerable progresses have been made these last years, investigatio
