Plates with blind holes for harnessing of flexural waves – PLATON
The PLATON project aims at exploring fundamental as well as applied aspects of flexural wave interaction with periodic or random arrays of strongly coupled subwavelength resonators. Of particular interest is the possibility to investigate new wave phenomena by designing artificial meta-structures for elastic waves similar to the ones investigated in optics or electromagnetic waves, such as photonic crystals and metamaterials.
Iron smelting and environment in Togo : Strategy of natural resources exploitation in traditional iron production (the Bassar region, Togo) – SIDERENT

Analysis of Fiscal Policy Mutipliers – AMF
The aim of this project is to analyze the macroeconomic consequences of fiscal policy and to evaluate their effects.
Towards a photo-herbicide: synthesis and studies of water-soluble fluorescent tagged porphyrins, from solution to plant cells – PorphyPlant
The aim of this project is to develop soft agronomic practices taking environmental context and efficient agriculture into account.<br />Thus we aim at using exogenous porphyrins as biodegradable herbicides.<br /><br />
Taxonomy, venoms and evolution of the Conoidea – CONOTAX
The Conoidea is a group of venomous marine gastropods highly diversified. The main challenge of the project is to identify the factors explaining this diversification, the main hypothesis being that new toxins allow capturing new preys, thus to colonize new niches, leading to the apparition of new species.
Mate choice for good genes or compatible genes : an integrative approach with a focus on the major histocompatibility complex – CMatecHoice
Nowdays, biodiversity is disappearing at a speed a thousand times superior to the historical rate, thus mortgaging our future. Mate choice of partner is a true architect of biodiversity.
Optogenetic control of the neuronal network responsible for paradoxical (REM) sleep atonia – OPTOREM
Paradoxical sleep (PS) is characterized by an atonia of the whole somatic musculature sporadically interrupted by muscle twitches. The identification of the mechanisms controlling the motor activity during PS is clinically relevant since an abnormal regulation of the muscle tone occurs in three of the major disabling sleep disorders, i.e. REM sleep behavior disorder (RBD), narcolepsy with cataplexy or obstructive sleep apnea (OSA).
Eco-evolutionary dynamics in deep time – ECODEV
Dynamic of ancient marine ecosystem structuration (-385 My), or how a major environmental crisis can modify ecosystems ?
Universally high throughput Mass spectrometry-Tag Quantification in biological matrices: Alternative to radiolabeling – MTaQ
Mesuring the concentration of organic compounds at trace level in complex media is a challenging issue encountered in various domains (health, pharmacy, toxicology, environment, chemistry, …). The projet aims to provide an innovative answer based on mass spectrometry associated with specific chemical tagging in order to specifically target the compound of interest with a high detection sensitivity (expected quantification level for sub-nanomolar concentrations).
Genetic dissection of sex chromosome meiotic drive in Drosophila simulans – SexChroDrive
Looking for genes that cause female-biased sex ratio and for antagonist genes that restore an equal sex ratio in natural populations of the species Drosophila simulans
