The increase in the processor capabilities resulting from the continued miniaturization of the silicon based CMOS transistor technology has reached its limit in term of overall power dissipation. To go further would require a further reduction of the operating voltage not compatible with the fundame

The main objective of this project is to propose new techniques for the performances enhancement of multi-axes and nonlinear piezoelectric Microsystems without using the existing sensors that are expensive and bulky. Packageability is one of the main motivation and several novelties and scientific o

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

The project will bring new light and perspectives in our understanding of time-delayed nonlinear dynamical systems, by taking an unprecedented close look into the influence of scaling of time-delay parameter with respect to system internal time-scales and system characteristic lengths. In both space

In this basic research project, we want to develop and to analyze patient-specific dynamical models of the epileptic network which reproduce realistic intracranial EEG activities for patients suffering from the most frequent intractable epilepsies: lobe temporal epilepsies. The model will be used to

- Elaboration of standard rules for the multistacked fabrication of organic microsystems at low cost by means of printing processing methods. - Demonstration of maturity of integrated organic MEMS on three hierarchical levels: functional organic materials, integrated organic microstructures, and ap

In the typical scenario, a mobile robot faces a situation that requires adaptation (e.g. a leg is broken or the ground surface changed). The robot is allowed to launch a few experiments to investigate the situation; after a few minutes it should be able to cope with the new situation to pursue its m

Given the size of the call center industry and the complexity associated with its operations, call centers have emerged as a fertile ground for academic research. The literature on the operations management of call centers is lacking of work integrating psychological and behavioral aspects, which is

The overall objective of the project is to propose new theoretical approaches to cerebral development that we will apply to concrete neuroscientific and clinical issues in medical imaging. An increasing number of scientific studies demonstrate that the folded geometry of cortical anatomy (with sulci
