Doctoral theses

We are excited to announce an open PhD position at IFPEN—fully funded research projects within the ANR-DFG French-German collaboration. This is a unique opportunity to join an international team dedicated to advancing cutting-edge research at the intersection of nanoporous materials and nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) techniques.

It has been established that molecular hydrogen (H₂) is present on the planet in the form of diffuse or continuous emanations. Nevertheless, many questions remain regarding its potential for exploitation. Hydrogen is an important electron donor (reductant) for subsurface ecosystems.

Digital holographic microscopy (DHM) has emerged as a powerful and transformative imaging technique, offering label-free, non-invasive visualisation of cellular structures and dynamic processes with exceptional sensitivity. Such a technology offers great promise for neuronal studies because it is label-free and quantitative.

Le réchauffement climatique à l’échelle de la planète a conduit l’Europe à s’inscrire sur une trajectoire de réduction de sa consommation énergétique et de ses émissions de CO2 avec un objectif de neutralité carbone à 2050.

On July 14, 2021, the European Commission adopted a set of ambitious and voluntary proposals to reduce its net greenhouse gas emissions by 55% by 2030 compared to 1990 levels and to achieve climate neutrality by 2050.

Le développement des technologies de décarbonation constitue un des piliers fondamentaux de la transition énergétique.

The production of bioethanol from lignocellulosic substrates depends on efficient enzymatic hydrolysis, which is one of the most expensive steps in the process. The Trichoderma reesei enzymatic cocktail is one of the most efficient, but certain substrates, such as softwood or Miscanthus, remain difficult to degrade with a low sugar yield.

The electrochemical storage of electrical energy has become a global issue and a major challenge. Li-ion batteries are considered as the preferred solution to store energy. Safe batteries systems keep today the weakest link in the development of many energies or power demanding.

The increasing demand for plastics and the need for efficient recycling are critical issues in waste management due to the complexity of separating mixed polymers and impurities. Despite advancements, current recycling rates remain low, largely because of the difficulty in accurately sorting plastic waste.

L’équipe R&I corrosion du département d’Electrochimie et Matériaux au sein d’IFP énergies nouvelles (Solaize), en lien avec le LaSIE (La Rochelle), propose un poste de thèse captivant sur la compréhension de la dégradation des métaux dans les pr

The global production of plastics is growing exponentially and consequently is the plastic pollution in the environment. At IFP Energies Nouvelles, we develop models that simulate the transport, deposition, and erosion of plastics in the environment.

Context and objectives
During laundry washing, fibers are inevitably shed from textiles and are carried into the wastewater. These fibers, typically around 10 μm in diameter, vary in composition
- mainly polyester and cotton
