Ongoing PhD theses

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.

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.

Antoine RAFFOURNIER

Mechanical and structural properties of pulmonary sputum in relation to obstructive diseases

Dacil Idaira YANEZ MARTIN

Mechanosensitivity of the intestine at macro- and microscopic scales

Understanding the behavior of the digestive mucosa at macro- and microscopic scales

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-doctoral projects

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.

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).
