Organic molecules are used in many areas, for example in drugs or solar cells. However, the development of new organic molecules with desired properties is difficult, time-intensive, and requires a lot of trial and error. A new line of research uses artificial intelligence to partially automate this process and make it more reliable. This project […]

“Les plasmas dans les milieux liquides” est un projet de recherche très original, en termes des applications dans différents domaines et en termes de physique fondamentale. Mon projet consiste à étudier les plasmas générés dans l’eau en utilisant une décharge électrique impulsionnelle. Pratiquement, nous allons étudier en premier temps les caractéristiques électriques de la décharge […]

Initialement découvert dans les neurones, le Brain-Derived-Neurotrophic Factor (BDNF) est un facteur de croissance qui module la survie neuronale et la plasticité synaptique. Il joue un rôle important dans des pathologies cognitives comme la maladie de Parkinson et d’Alzheimer. Or, le BDNF se retrouve aussi dans la circulation où il est emmagasiné dans les plaquettes […]

La thèse entend revenir sur une notion classique du Droit public, la représentation en proposant une grille d’analyse novatrice. La conception constitutionnelle de la représentation est associée à sa principale modalité de désignation : l’élection. Dans ce cadre, des auteurs parlent de crise de la représentation. Le projet est parti de cette question : est-ce […]

During thhis project I will investigate the interactions responsible for maintaining functional protein networks in the basement membrane, a specialized tissue surrounding epithelial cells. By utilizing the recently developed centrifuge force microscope of the hosting research group I will investigate the strength and lifetime of the forces between head domains of the important protein in […]

Data storage devices as hard drives or solid state disks rely on the magnetic properties of special materials. As the amount of data produced is increasing every day; new, more efficient, with more storage capacity, and faster devices are needed. One plausible option is to investigate exotic magnetic materials. We will run numerical simulations to […]

Tardigrades are among the hardiest organisms known, with some species being able to withstand high doses of radiation, desiccation, lack of nutrients, and extremes in both pressure and temperature. Humans, conversely, are extremely susceptible to such conditions. The tardigrade’s ability to readily survive for long periods in the harsh environment of space has been well […]

A twisting string actuation (TSA) transmission uses wire(s) to transmit power from a motor on one side to a load on the other side. When the motor rotates the wires are twisting themselves, and thus provide a pulling force on the load. The aim of the project is to add to an existing TSA unit […]

Our biofluids, like sweat, contain many solutes and metabolites that are related to our health conditions. For example, sweat glucose concentration can be noninvasively measured to represent blood glucose concentration for diabetes management. Imagine your clothes can not only wick and adsorb your sweat to keep you dry but also collect and analyze your sweat […]

The broad objective is to develop (or investigate the feasibility of developing) a prototype software module that can be used in one or more of goQ (Quillsoft Ltd .) software products for when a user initiates a word or phrasal lookup within some text. During reading or writing , the module provides contextually appropriate content […]

Global warming and climate change have been increasingly attracting the attention of researchers and the public in the past few decades. It is believed in the scientific community that climate change is a direct effect of the increase of greenhouse gases (GHGs) in the atmosphere. Carbon capture and sequestration (CCS) is a promising solution for […]

Avant de débuter mon doctorat sur des modèles animaux de valvulopathies au sein de l’institut du thorax de Nantes, je souhaite partir 12 semaines à l’institut de cardiologie de Montréal afin de développer des compétences en termes de dissection embryonnaire et de caractérisation des embryons par méthode de double hybride. En effet, j’aurai l’occasion lors […]
