Fabulous laser microstructures

,
IMT Atlantique has developed expertise in parallel photoplotting over many years. The school has therefore taken a leading role in the European FABulous project that will use this method to design functional 3D micro and nano-structures. These high-performance optical and photonic microstructures have applications ranging from the automotive industry to biological cell culture.

Remote work: future trends and acceptance in companies

,
Now a common practice in many companies, remote work is more or less accepted by employees. Advances in technology, the importance of working environments and work-life balance are all key issues in the remote work debate. Chantal Ammi, a professor at Institut Mines-Télécom Business School, has studied the acceptance model of remote work.

Fifty shades of clean water

,
Growing awareness of the impacts of pollutant discharge on aquatic ecosystems has highlighted the urgent need for a more rigorous wastewater treatment system. At IMT Mines Alès, two researchers are developing characterization methods for thousands of existing micropollutants. This daunting task is the first step in developing environmental remediation systems.

Hyperconnected supply chain networks for improved circularity

, ,
IMT Mines Albi drew on a use case on retrofitting thermal vehicles into electric vehicles to develop decision support tools to help companies design their supply chains. This work builds on the principles of the physical internet and aims to improve the circularity of supply chain networks.

Augmented internal audits and digital transformation challenges

, ,
Digital technology is significantly changing auditing practices and the internal auditor profession. Among these new solutions, “augmented” internal audits are becoming increasingly popular. Nabyla Daidj, a research professor in strategy and management information systems at Institut Mines-Télécom Business School and head of the Information Systems Audit and Consulting (ACSI) major, explains how augmented internal audits work.

CEREBRO: towards complete non-invasive imaging of brain activity

, ,
The aim of the European CEREBRO project is to create the first electrical contrast medium to provide complete non-invasive images of the brain. Current methods for imaging brain activity using electroencephalography are limited in terms of spatial resolution, and do not cover the whole brain. The product to be developed by CEREBRO is designed to overcome these limitations. IMT Atlantique researchers Adrien Merlini and François Rousseau reveal the details of this project.

Protecting sensitive sites: AI in radar systems

,
Radar systems are safe and durable, and used for both detection and surveillance. However, they deliver signals, not images, which can be difficult to interpret. Using artificial intelligence to complement current algorithms offers a technological solution to this problem. The RadaR-IO laboratory, shared by IMT Mines Albi and the company EPSI, is looking to develop and industrialize this solution.

When assembly lines become circular

,
The recycling market is expanding, even to assembly plants! Using a software ecosystem, the European ALICIA project aims to promote the circulation of production resources. Scientists from IMT Atlantique involved in the project are working to develop a platform to optimize production lines, by minimizing machine changeovers and promoting the use of second-hand resources.

Torrential rain: polluting a long, calm river

,
Intense rainfall events linked to climate change generate dynamic runoff which, through erosion, removes materials from the soil, including contaminants. At IMT Nord Europe, research teams are carrying out complementary measurement and modeling work to understand how this displaced matter enters the water cycle, and how to better manage territories.

StressID, a multimodal database for detecting stress

, ,
StressID is a multimodal database for identifying stress. The project represents one of the largest collections of audio, video and physiological expressions of stress collected from numerous participants. It aims to provide an experimental protocol that is simple to reproduce. Maria Zuluaga, a researcher in the Data Science department at EURECOM, and her PhD student Hava Chaptoukaev tell us all about StressID.
