Revisiting Deflagration-Detonation Transition in the context of carbon-free energy production – ReDDT
The objective of the present project is to set up theoretical models by asymptotic analyses, representing accurately the dynamics of detonations in hydrogen-air mixtures. Physical phenomena pertaining to the inner structure of the waves will be included in the analysis, which is usually not the ca

The same applies to France, particularly since the January and September 2015 attacks. But as soon as we turn our attention towards political and geographical ar
ALTER-TRACK – ALTERnative TRACKing
Alter-Track aims at designing a global solution for real-time vehicule tracking based on technologies that are not based on satellites like GPS/Galilleo (positioning) or GPRS (transmission of the positioning information). This approach paves the way to a fully autonomous positioning system, always a
Colonial Legacies and Indigeneity in France's Overseas Territories: Kanaks of New Caledonia, Amerindians of Guyana and Ma'ohi of Polynesia in the Face of Two Institutions of the French Republic (Justice, School). – AUTOCHTOM
Seen from the metropolitan ‘centre’, the marginality of indigenous peoples within French overseas territories that are themselves intrinsically peripheral stands in contrast to the periodic eruption of violence: conflicts in New Caledonia (1984-88), riots in Faa’a-Tahiti (1995), Cayenne (1996) and N
