3D modeling of Digital Mock-Up based on the integration of heterogeneous data – METIS
This project is in the field of reverse engineering, which is widely used in the manufacturing industry to capitalize on knowledge that has not yet been and is now becoming crucial to develop products. There are many applications, such as reverse engineering of existing products in order to modify /
Development of atmospheric plasma Enhanced SPatial ATomiC layer deposition (SALD) for application to silicon Heterojunction solar cells – DESPATCH
Si solar cells are the main photovoltaic technology being used nowadays. While efficiencies reached are approaching the theoretic maximum, cost is still an issue to be fully competitive with fossil fuels. A new technology called Silicon Heterojunction Solar (HET) Cells has been developed in which th
Two-Dimensional Nanomaterial-based Metasurfaces for enhanced Plasmonic Sensing – 2DPS
Surface plasmon resonance (SPR) sensors are optical sensors commonly used for real-time monitoring of molecular interactions. Graphene is the thinnest 2D material and its high charge carrier mobility makes it an attractive material for these sensors. By applying graphene layers on the top metal laye
Molecular Recognition with Urea-based Foldamers : From Anion Receptors to Bioinspired Organocatalysts – UREKAT
Although the project stands primarily in foldamer research, it is characterized by a strong interplay with the field of artificial anion receptors and H-bond mediated organocatalysis. Translating structure information into function certainly represents one of the most fascinating issues in the fiel
Characterization of DIgestate and evaluation of their agronomic VAlorisation – DIVA
To be used as fertilizer or soil improver, digestate must have specific criteria and composition of dry and organic matter, minerals, nutrients etc ... and be free of unwanted compounds (pathogenic microorganisms, phytotoxic compounds, inert, etc.). They must also be stable over time. The great var
Dynamic Polymers – Dynamic Interactive Systems for Constitutional Membranes – DYNAMERS
DYNAMERS est un projet interdisciplinaire de recherche fondamentale et appliquée qui a pour but de maîtriser les systèmes multivalents (polymères dynamiques, nanoparticules, surfaces, membranes) en utilisant une approche dynamique constitutionnelle afin de créer des dispositifs fonctionnels dont les
Mitochondrial and protease dysfunction in progeroid Cockayne syndrome cells and during age-associated processes – CS_AGE
We study the underlying mechanism of the altered pathway that we identified in CS cells, where oxidative and nitrosative stress (ROS/RNS) promotes overexpression of the HTRA3 protease, which results in the degradation of the key mitochondrial DNA polymerase POLG1 responsible for replication of the o
Impact of STress on uRban trEEs on ciTy air quality – sTREEt
Urban vegetation is a source of ecosystem services, such as reduction of heat island phenomenon via evapotranspiration or support for pollution deposition. Trees emit a number Biogenic Volatile Organic Compounds (BVOC) that can react with atmospheric primary pollutants to form secondary pollutants,
Converting an urban wasteland into a sustainable and educational living-lab, based on a replicable phytomanagement approach – ECOPOLIS
The ECOPOLIS project is structured around three specific objectives: (1) characterize in a complete spatial and quantitative way the pollution, the mobility of pollutants, the environmental and human impacts of the site, using innovative methods that will be deployed on site to meet the technologica
Development of an ultra-thin monitor for charged particle beams – PEPITES
Proton therapy is a cancer-fighting technique using proton beams, which allows better preservation of healthy tissue than conventional radiotherapy while remaining effective in destroying tumours. However, during the treatment, the correct delivery of the dose requires continuous and precise measure
