Detailed numerical simulations of porous media combustion using ammonia and hydrogen as fuels: multi-physics coupling and modelling

With increasingly stringent climate change regulations, developing low-emission, carbon-free burners has become crucial for industry and a technical challenge for researchers. Ammonia (NH3) and hydrogen (H2) are the main carbon-free fuels under consideration.

Hydrogen consumption kinetics by subsurface microbial communities: what impact on natural hydrogen flows to the surface?

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.

Amélioration d’image, super résolution et classification d'images par l'IA : Application à la microscopie holographique numérique

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.
