Clogging of porous media: from the colloidal particle to the clog – COLLMAT
The main idea of the project is to visualize and study the flow of a dilute colloidal suspension within a model porous media (microfluidic channel), which size is closed to the one of the transported colloidal particles. I this way we could détermine the respective role of the hydrodynamics, the physical-chemistry, the particle/pore surface and the interpaticle interaction potential, on the different consecutive steps of the clogging process.
Microelectrode arrays on flexible diamond membranes – DiamMem
Recently, the most promising technologies are undoubtedly bio-technology and micro-nanotechnology. It is anticipated that, over the next few decades, nanobiotechnology will experience rapid developmen
Combining Analyses for the Study of Numerical Invariants – CAFEIN
Towards the combination of methods for the analysis of critical Cyber-Physical Systems: from design to implementation
Microbubbles Ultrasound Super-Localization Imaging – MUSLI
Due to diffraction theory, the resolution of ultrasound imaging is limited at best to a half-wavelength (~0.1-1 mm) and details below 100 ?m cannot be distinguished at clinical frequencies (8 MHz). Shorter wavelength can be used, but to the cost of a higher attenuation and lower penetration, which rapidly reduces the scope of the imaging technique. To date, this «resolution versus penetration« paradigm annihilates the quest for ultrasound microscopy deep into tissues.
Optogenetic control of the medial prefrontal cortex to understand and model context-mediated emotional regulation – EmOpto
The brain is adept at recording memories of traumatic events, yet these fear memories can become pathological and contribute to incapacitating anxiety disorders often triggered by contextual cues asso
