Thèses en cours

Fanny BOSSON

Orthotropic cellulose composites for bone and cartilage tissue engineering

The aim of this thesis is to reproduce the typical structure of articular cartilage.

Samuel MANDIN

Anisotropic and nano- to micro-structured cellulose thin films produced by tangential ultrafiltration and UV cross-linking

This project aims to develop an ultrafiltration process combined with UV photopolymerisation to produce innovative cellulose nanocomposites with controlled anisotropic structures ranging from nanometric to micrometric scales.

Nissrine LOUKILI

Multi-scale physical characterisation of flocculated systems for eco-efficient water treatment

Our aim is to understand the kinetics of flocculation and the influencing factors linked to the properties of the sludge and the polymer, with a view to developing tools for controlling and characterising flocs with a view to water purification.

Kawthar SHAALAN

Studies of the rheological, hydration and osmotic properties of pulmonary mucus

I study the dynamic properties of mucus, aiming to understand how its behaviour changes in response to different environmental factors using macro- and micro-rheology and microfluidics.

Midhun PUTHUMANA MELEPATTU

Dissociation of red blood cells under extensional constraints

Understanding the behaviour of red blood cell aggregates in response to extensional stress in relation to human blood networks.

Lisa ENTZMANN

Elaboration, functionalisation by enzyme immobilisation and characterisation of 3D fibrous nanomaterials

This project aims to bio-functionalise nanostructured materials produced by electrospinning in order to explore their antibacterial potential for tissue engineering applications.

Ana CHITANU

Characterisation and understanding of the rheology and physics of waste sludge and sludge/biowaste mixtures for use in digestion / co-digestion.

We are developing rheological characterisation tools and protocols adapted to waste sludge and sludge/biowaste mixtures for process design.

Houssine HILALI

Interfacial stability in multilayer flows - application to the development of materials with advanced functionalities

Post-doctorats

Elizangela HAFEMANN FRAGAL

3D printing process for biological surfactant hydrogels

Development and characterisation of supramolecular hydrogels based on glycoamphiphiles for 3D printing and potential soft tissue engineering applications.

Lorenzo METILLI

Process-structure relationship of edible oil foams

As an organic chemist with a PhD in soft matter physics, I study the assembly of molecules and particles using powerful synchrotron radiation techniques.

Rohan VERNEKAR

Simulation and modelling of transport phenomena in the small intestine

I am developing a solver for flows within the digestive tract, using the Boltzmann lattice method. I am also carrying out simulations to study transport at the microscopic scale (villi).
