The "GLoC" concept for studying key processes of multiphase reactive transport applied to CO2 geological storage – CGSµLab
The CGSµLab project mainly aims to create real Geological Laboratories on a Chip (GLoCs), able to study at small scales the key processes and mechanisms involved in deep CO2 storage. Experiments performed with these GLoCs, in addition to the ones in capillary tubes, will allow to understand and desc
The Chirality of Genes – CHIRGEN
The asymmetric photochemistry of nucleotide precursor molecules at synchrotron SOLEIL is dependent upon on the chiroptical properties of these molecules and will most certainly initially yield only small enantiomeric excesses (e.e.s), as we have already observed for amino acids. Thus any asymmetry p
The LISP-Lab Platform for Future Internet Services – LISP-Lab
The ever-increasing growth of the Internet, accelerated by the massive deployment of mobile data services, raises scalability and performance issues that need to be addressed for the sake of a more robust Internet infrastructure. These issues are mostly due to the use of a single IP numbering space
The Neonatal EEG Platform – BB EEG Platform
The BB EEG platform project aims at developing an Internet portal providing telemedicine and e-learning services in the field of the electroencephalographic (EEG) signals of the newborn. The EEG consists in recording the spontaneous electrical activity of the brain through several electrodes pla
The physics of multicellular organization in bacteria – BactPhys
We propose a novel approach to study bacterial multicellular organization based on physical mechanisms in order to identify the minimum elements of biochemical regulation required to coordinate complex processes such as bacterial clustering, stream formation, and fruiting body formation. This is a m
The return to an aquatic life, the evolution of propulsive efficiency & biomimetics – DRAGON2
The return to an aquatic life has shaped many organisms and profoundly impacted fossil and extant marine ecosystems. Understanding how terrestrial organisms adapted to a drastically novel environment poses fundamental challenges, however. Indeed, in most lineages this major transition entailed deep
The role of Urban Educative Cultures on children’s behavior change about their daily mobility and urban lifestyle. Collection and spatiotemporal analysis of individual tracks location-based and enriched semantically – MOBIKIDS
The MOBI'KIDS program aims to understand the conditions of children's daily mobility and their relationship to the city spaces in a context of changing lifestyles and encouraged alternative modes of travel spurred by the «city demotorization ». The goal is also to study how children's mobility and s
TheRmo-Actuated Migration in a microsystem – TRAM
Bubble/droplet driving has been commonly investigated in soft microfluidic chips, using surfactants to stabilize the dispersed phase, involving simultaneously different phenomena that makes the behaviour of the elements especially difficult to predict. Oppositely, we propose to quantify the influen
Theoretical, Experimental, and Computational Study of Carriers Localization in Nitride Devices – TECCLON
Modern (opto)electronic devices rely on band engineering capabilities, made possible by the use of semiconductor heterostructures in which band gaps, offsets and strains in the active layers are optimized by associating pure compounds and alloys. High electron mobility transistors create two-dimensi
Theory and Applications of the Geometry of Entropy Regularized Optimal Transport – THEATRE
Optimal transport, including its entropic regularization, plays an increasing role in our understanding of optimization schemes arising from machine learning problems. The good behavior of such optimization problems and the resulting algorithms are shrewdly related to the geometry induced by the met
