Le titane et ses alliages métalliques sont largement employés dans les dispositifs médicaux pour la réparation ou le remplacement des os. Une intégration osseuse rapide est essentielle pour garantir la durabilité et l’efficacité des implants et éviter les infections bactériennes. Cependant, la formation de biofilms bactériens à la surface des implants en titane constitue un […]

Financial investment is a crucial activity for both institutions and individuals. In particular, the construction of a portfolio of financial assets is at the core of financial investment decision making. Effective portfolio management enables many benefits such as better pensions and funds for education. The essence of portfolio construction is to balance expected returns (i.e. […]

In this project, we aim to revolutionize liver MRI scans using advanced technology. Our focus is on utilizing a powerful 7T MRI scanner, which provides clearer and more detailed images than traditional MRI machines. We will be applying a cutting-edge technique called the Recurrent Inference Machine (RIM) to process these images. This method, developed by […]

The intern will develop a user-friendly application for managing electric vehicle charging stations (EVSE) by integrating online/offline components and secure authentication using advanced cryptographic techniques. This aims to enhance operational efficiency, minimize costs, and improve user satisfaction. The project will deploy cutting-edge technologies like Plug and Charge for seamless user experience. Objectives include decentralized charge […]

Le projet Épistorm consiste à développer un capteur optique pour détecter des concentrations de micro-ARNs de l’ordre du femtomolaire alors que la sensibilité classique du système utilisé est de l’ordre du nanomolaire. Pour gagner ces cinq ordres de grandeur, nous visons à combiner deux méthodes d’amplification du signal : volumique et surfacique. La doctorante du […]
