Artemisinin resistance and Plasmodium falciparum cell cycle
Malaria, caused by Plasmodium, is the deadliest parasitic disease in humans. The WHO reports an impressive improvement of the situation in recent years, with a ~30-40% decrease in mortality rates in the 2000-2016 period. Nonetheless, malaria is still causing ~200 million clinical cases and ~500,000 deaths worldwide every year. This progress is mostly due to the combination of the massive use of artemisinin derivatives (ART) and the large-scale distribution of insecticide-treated bednets.

Lunar tidal Deformation from earth-based and orbital Laser Ranging
This project aims at an improved and consistent determination of the tidal deformations of the Moon by a synthesis of the large amount of observation <br /> obtained from Earth-based Lunar Laser Ranging (LLR) and laser altimetry (LA) from lunar orbit and modelings using different inner structure modelings and rheologies. <br />With a better understanding of the Moon deformations, one will have a better view on its inner structure.
Bridge Functional in Molecular DFT
The solvation properties of molecules/macromolecules are investigated within the classical DFT at the molecular level of description. The HNC approximation used until now ignores the so-called bridge functions, which appear to be non negligible, especially in aqueous solvents. The project proposes different routes to produce efficient bridge functional/functions.

Smart Pillared Carbon Materials for Supercapacitors: from fundamental understanding of ion transport to device testing
A gain in capacity of EDLC is expected to be enabled by the use of pillared graphene with controlled 2D porosities, in standard electrolyte medium, but also in ionic liquid, opening the way to manufacture an all-solid-state supercapacitor with enhanced storage properties.
PHOTOASSISTED PRODUCTION OF HYDROGEN FROM UREA OXIDATION
The objective of HYUREA is to develop a photoelectrochemical reactor (PER) using solar energy for urea degradation coupled with H2 production (energy carrier) according to: <br />CO(NH2)2 + H2O + h?-solar + ?V-electrochemical --> CO2 + N2 + 3 H2.<br />This project is a break with curative treatments of wastewater treatment plants where nitrogen is difficult to treat. It integrates a nitrogen elimination at the source and allows a production of storable H2.
Ignition Combustion Explosion Environment and Energetic Materials
Contribution to the understanding of energetic systems, both explosive and propulsive:<br />- Optimization of materials and designed systems,<br />- Prediction of the performances of new compositions under current and future environmental constraints (REACH).
The environment and human health across life and social sciences
The EnviroBioSoc project aims at determining whether or not it is actually possible and suitable to overcome the state of plurality characterzing the study of environnementally induced diseases by looking for an integrative and interdisciplinary approach to the environment. This approach would combine the various ways the environment is conceived and operationalized in health studies, both in life and social sciences.
