Lasers UV organiques – LUVORGAN
1. Scientific context and objective Many applications (data storage, sensing) demand laser sources emitting in the blue and near UV part of the spectrum, which are compact, easy to use and low-cost. In this context, organic materials are good candidates for the realization of this kind of sources, t
Optimisation des Procédés d'Elaboration par Refusion (Arc-Slag) – OPERAS
The aim of the project OPERAS is the development of numerical models for simulating the ESR (Electro Slag Remelting) and VAR (Vacuum Arc Remelting) processes. Both processes are based on the remelting of a consumable electrode of the required grade and subsequent solidification of the ingot which re
Exhaust gas selective sensing using printed RF gas sensors – CARDIF_Ukraine
Exposure to toxic gases or volatile organic compounds (VOCs) affects safety and public health. More than 6.5 million deaths per year worldwide are attributed to environmental pollution (indoor and outdoor air quality). With the Internet of Things, large-scale deployment of gas sensors becomes access
Photoactive Silicon gas diffusion electrodes for solar assisted electrochemical conversion of CO2 – SIROCCO
The main goal of SIROCCO is to design high efficiency photocathodes for the photoelectrochemical reduction of CO2 (PEC-CO2RR) by advantageously combining gas diffusion photoactive supports based on silicon micropillars to bimetallic nanocatalysts (specifically, PdCu and AgCu). The aim is to improve
Innovative Carbon@Metal Nanostructures for Sustainable Catalysis – ICARE_1
Catalysis is the essential technology for precisely transforming the chemical structure of matter on a large scale. It lies at the heart of our quality of life, and it is also essential to a healthy economy. One of the main challenges for catalysis in the 21st century is to better understand and the
Mega Array of Microphones for the Identification of Environmental aeroacoustic Sources – MAMIES
The objective of the MAMIES project is to develop a new methodology for identifying aeroacoustic sources in wind tunnels. This type of sources, resulting from the interaction of a flow and an obstacle, is at the origin of noise emissions in the environment, for example for transport or certain noise
Closed- loop control of the wake of a road vehicle – COWAVE
In this project, we propose strategies for reducing drag and fuel consumption of cars by closed-loop control. We target robust solutions applicable to a large range of operating conditions including changing oncoming velocity and transient side winds. To achieve this goal, we combine passive and act
Convergent Metrics for Digital Calculus – CoMeDiC
Discrete exterior calculus has emerged in the last decade as a powerful framework for solving discrete variational problems in image and geometry processing. It simplifies both the formulation of variational problems and their numerical resolution, and is able to extract global optima in many cases.
Efficient and Dynamic ENergy Management for Large-Scale Smart Grids – EDEN4SG
This represents a challenge as strong couplings exist at different levels (local/global) between the smart grid actors which belong to an increasingly uncertain environment (e.g. growing dependence of electric production to photovoltaics and wind). This leads to a highly-coupled, multi-scale and mul
Decoding and monitoring operators’ cognitive states – BLADE
Today, many sectors, such as transportation, medicine, and industry, depend on automated systems. These systems, far from simply replacing human activity with machine activity, pose new challenges for the operators responsible for supervising them. When a human supervises an automated system, they
