To feed humans, agriculture mostly relies on the use of fertilizers derived from fossil resources. Yet, most nutrients from food are excreted in urines and mixed in wastewaters. Wastewater treatment allows only a weak recycling of the nutrients and has many environmenta...

This thesis examines whether and how odors contribute to the development of visual categorization in the human brain using fast periodic visual stimulation coupled with scalp electroencephalography (FPVS-EEG). Specifically, we sought to characterize if a neural visual r...

As part of the energy transition, converting solar energy into fuels suitable for mobility appears to be a promising solution. One of the first accessible is undoubtedly hydrogen, which can be obtained by photodissociation of the water molecule under the effect of radia...

The research presented in this thesis focuses on the design and use of dielectric barrier discharge (DBD) plasma actuators with thin and complex geometry electrodes to exert instability control on two flow configurations whose dynamics are governed by primary and/or sec...

There is an increasing number of applications in mobile robotics involving several robots able tocommunicate with each other to navigate cooperatively.The aim of this work is to exploit the communication and the detection of robots in order to achievecooperative localiz...

In the latest years, the healthcare domain has seen an increasing interest in the definition of intelligent systems to support clinicians in their everyday tasks and activities. Among others, this includes novel systems for the field of Evidence-based Medicine. The latt...

Nowadays, it is essential to find solutions to detect and prevent the falls of seniors. We proposed a low-cost device based on a pair of thermal sensors. The counterpart of these low-cost sensors is their low resolution (80x60 pixels), low refresh rate, noise, and halo ...

Wireless Terabits per second (Tbps) link is needed for the new emerging data-hungry applications in Beyond 5G (B5G) (e.g., high capacity broadband, enhanced hotspot, three Dimensional (3D) extended reality, etc.). Besides, the sub-THz/THz bands are the next frontier for...

Resource Description Framework (RDF) is a graph data model which has recently found the use of publishing on the web data from relational databases. We investigate data exchange from relational databases to RDF graphs with target shapes schemas. Essentially, data exchan...

J’appartiens aux scientifiques qui étudient le monde animal, et non pas le végétal (moins bons souvenirs…). Mon échelle de travail est toute petite, c’est le compartiment intracellulaire, car j’étudie les protéines. Comment comprendre leur rôle ? Comment régulent-elles ...
