VoCATIoN The BF2I is a mixed INSA Lyon and INRA (French National Institute for Agricultural Research) research unit (INRA UMR 203) which is part of the Plant Health and Environ-ment department.

The unit’s scientific remit is to understand the functions which govern interactions between certain groups of insects of agronomic importance, and their direct biological partners (host plants, symbiotic micro-organisms, parasites or predators). This research covers a variety of disciplinary fields ranging from insect physiology to their functional genomics.

The unit’s studies focus on trophic functions, notably those which govern symbiotic exchanges, but also defense or molecular dialogue functions between partners in the interaction. The end objective of this research into complex biological interactions, which often involve multiple partners and interactions with the environment, is to produce the tools and concepts required for an integrated approach to plant protection against pests within the framework of sustainable agronomic practices which are respectful of human health and agroecosystems.

Auxiliary organisms, resistance genes, the biochemical or molecular basis of the interac-tion, and the control or analysis methods developed by the research teams which make up the unit are just some of the results which can be valorised.

VoCATIoN The aim of this unit is to understand the adaptation processes of micro-organisms from the molecular level through to integration into the cellular context of interactions with the environment and other organisms.

The adaptation phenomenon involves mechanisms which make it possible to optimise the use of the surrounding environment for microbial development and the micro-organisms’ resistance to hostile conditions in this environment. Pathogenesis is considered to be a specific example of adaptation in a living organism (plants, amoeba, insects, human beings). A variety of micro-organisms are used as study models: bacteria, yeast and funghi.

The parameters considered are biochemical or physical-chemical (signal molecules, stress, metals, contact with surfaces etc.) and, in the case of pathogenic micro-orga-nisms, all conditions affecting interaction with the biological partner.

The technology developed involves genetics, molecular biology, and comprehensive genomic or proteomic approaches which go so far as to include mathematical modelling. These studies aim to integrate the different stages of adaptive response: signal percep-tion, transmission, gene expression regulation and cellular metabolic adjustment.

VoCATIoN Nutrition-related pathologies (type 2 diabetes, obesity, metabolic syndrome) are increasingly common and are considered to be a major public health issue. A certain number of researchers working on this field in Lyon have grouped together to create a clear structure with a sufficient critical mass and a research dynamic which combines cognitive and applied research with clinical research.

This has resulted in the creation of the RMND (Metabolic Regulation, Nutrition and Diabetes) UMR (Mixed Research Unit), with 80 people divided into two complementary teams of comparable size who work in close collaboration.

This UMR is equipped with two methodological and experimental platforms: The CRNH-RA (Centre for Research into Human Nutrition - Rhône Alpes) and the IMBL (Multi-Disciplinary Institute of Lipid Biochemistry) situated on the INSA Lyon campus. The IMBL is part of the UMR 870 and one of the three components which make up LISA (Lipids for Industry and Health) which received the Carnot Institute label in 2007.

The key scientific objectives are:

- to understand the mechanisms of insulin resistance and diabetes

- to define the role of lipids and lipoproteins in the vascular complications of diabetes

- to propose nutrients, in particular lipid nutrients, which can prevent and/or treat these complications (bioengineering).

VoCATIoN The research carried out by the laboratory covers a variety of thermics and energetics fields. It is one of the only laboratories in France, and indeed in the world, capable of continuously treating a wide range of length and temperature scales from nanostructures to buildings, and from ice slurry to combustion. Numerous sectors of application such as industry, transport, construction and electronics require extensive scientific knowledge of thermics. The CETHIL therefore tries to find a balance between its experimental, theoretical and numerical activities in order to:

• understand thermal exchanges: convection, conduction, radiation, phase change

• control thermal exchanges to ensure effective use: Cold production, cooling of electronic components, engine combustion, superinsulating materials, thermal control of photovoltaic cells, high energy efficiency buildings etc.

• characterise the thermal behaviour of materials using inverse methods, AFM, innovative optical diagnostics etc. ,

• predict heat transfers, by developing Direct Numerical Simulations (DNS), Large Eddy Simulation (LES), Molecular Dynamics.

The INSA unit ITUS (Engineering, Techniques, Urbanisation and Society) was born out of the merger of two teams within INSA specialised in humanities and social sciences: ”Environments & Urban systems” and “STOICA”.Adopting an interdisciplinary approach, ITUS aims to tackle technical issues based on the hypothesis that anthropogenic activity, because it makes the existence of technical objects possible, defines man’s rela-tionship with the world. The team’s research therefore aims to question anthropogenic activity by studying how technical objects are produced and the rationalities at work, and in doing so, to question the concept of technique resulting from the modalities of existence of technical objects and their integration into a social and technical environment. As one form of anthropogenic activity, urban planning is one of the main fields of research.

Our researchers work on three key themes:• “Engineering” looking at the technical as an anthropogenic mode of

action;• “Urban spatial and technical systems” concerning the use of objects

in social and urban activities;• “Technology” based on the possibility of a science of technique which

questions the modes of rationality involved in athropogenic action and by the same token, the status of the technical object.

VoCATIoN The aim of the LGCIE is to combine research in Civil Engineering with research in Chemistry and Process Engineering to improve how environmental issues are taken into account in urban planning and the management of the built environment.

LGCIE aims to develop research within the framework of environmental engineering i.e. resulting from the environmental issues raised by society and which aims to provide concrete, rapidly operational solutions.

Its activity mainly involves the design and management of civil engineering structures on the one hand, and on the other, the control of severe or chronic environmental risks (the effects of pollutants), in particular in water and soil environments. The fields studied include:

• natural random variables and the impact of anthropogenic activity ( ground movements, climatic extremes, pollution),

• vulnerabilities (civil engineering structures, soils and hydrosystems),

• the development of curative and preventive actions in environments (remediation, alternative management and development solutions), materials (valorisation), structures (design and construction of less vulnerable structures, rehabilitation, repair) and systems (discharge and discharge environment treatment processes, matter/energy management processes, environmental analysis, coupling and interactions under complex loading).

VoCATIoN The IMP Laboratory aims to develop and combine knowledge and skills from the fields of Chemistry, Physics, Processes and more broadly speaking Polymer and Materials Science, in order to develop innovative multi- and cross-disciplinary approaches for both fundamental research and projects carried out in collaboration with businesses.

By applying original and diverse methods and concepts, as well as experimental and theo-retical aspects, a comprehensive research approach has been developed for the field of chemistry and the formulation of synthetic and natural polymers, the rheology of poly-mers in relation to their structure and processing and moulding processes (including by integrating simulation approaches), the study of the physical behaviour of structural and functional polymer materials, and research carried out at the interface with life sciences.

This unique framework makes it possible to develop cross-disciplinary projects invol-ving a variety of fields: Chemistry and the Formulation of Biosourced Polymers (Green Chemistry and Chemistry for Sustainable Development), Polymer & Process Chemistry, Functional and Polymer Chemistry, Processing & Characterisation of Organic/Organic and Organic/Inorganic Nanomaterials & Organised systems, Materials and Process Coupling – Defectology, Mobilities-Interactions & Functions, Polymer Surfaces and Coatings, Decoy Materials in Biological Environments, Polymers for Infectology Imaging (Bioengineering).

A member of numerous research networks of French and international academic labora-tories, and closely linked to businesses within the framework of a number of collaborative projects (ANR (French National Research Agency), Competitiveness Clusters etc.) the research unit pursues innovation through excellence.

VoCATIoN MATEIS studies four classes of materials: Metals, ceramics, polymers, composites, for structural and possibly functional applications. It optimises performance (mechanical resistance, corrosion etc.) of existing materials or tries to create new materials with the aim of downweighting structures and within the context of sustainable development.

Advances in our understanding of materials require improved understanding of:

- the relationships between processing parameters and microstructure (defects on the atomic or molecular scale, crystalline and amorphous phase arrangement, defects related to processing: Microcavities, decohesion etc.);

- the relationships between microstructure and macroscopic behaviour measured using diverse techniques (mechanical, electrochemical, calorimetric, dielectric, acoustic etc.);

- the evolution of these microstructures in use (phase transitions, corrosion, damage etc.).

These studies are notably based on quantitative characterisations on a very small scale (nano or micrometric) or which makes it possible to carry out in situ testing and use non-destructive testing techniques.

• Development, in liaison with ESRF Grenoble, the Risoe National Laboratory (Denmark) and the University of Manchester (United Kingdom) of a mode of contrast imaging using Bragg, which can visualise the three-dimensional form and crystal orientation of grains at the heart of polycrystals.

• MATEIS is home to the second Spark Plasma Sintering (SPS) system in France after the installation in Toulouse, operational since mid-2007. This enables us to produce large parts (80 mm diameter, 100 mm height) significantly more quickly than by using traditional sintering techniques. We are currently perfecting the production of trans-parent nanostructured ceramics.

• Wet-STEM imaging mode on an Environmental Scanning Electron Microscope (ESEM). This makes it possible to observe nano- objects suspended in a liquid matrix and produces mass-thic-kness type contrasts.

An example of the observation of core-shell gold-silica nano-particles suspended in water using an ESEM (core 5mm in diameter, highly shiny due to the high atomic number of gold). The use of a thin object and the confi-guration of the optical system makes it possible to attain high resolutions. Furthermore, the transmission mode provides volume information. Finally the efficiency of the electron/matter interaction (related to the low ac-celeration voltage that is characteristic of SEM) and effectiveness in detecting (related to the large collection angles of low voltage STEM in annular dark field mode) electrons diffused through a thin liquid film which results in high contrasts and thicknesses traversed which can reach several µm.

VoCATIoN The LMFA’s scientific activity covers a wide range of subjects in the disciplines of Fluid Mechanics and Acoustics and is firmly anchored in the field of Engineering Sciences.

It balances its work evenly between tackling fundamental scientific problems in the field and working on the issues faced by key industrial sectors such as air and land transport, energy and processes. The reduction of environmental impact, the optimisation of energy consumption, and the development of new technologies are all the subject of close par-tnerships with businesses, public-sector bodies and local councils.

The laboratory’s expertise is strongly focussed on fluid flow turbulence and transition to turbulence, hydrodynamic instabilities, numerical simulation, controlling internal aero-dynamics, coupled phenomena, aeroacoustics, numerical acoustics, multiphase flow and microfluidics. These themes have direct applications in the fields of turbomachinery, environmental flow (atmospheric or hydrological), the reduction of transport noise, mixing processes and automotive motorisation.

VoCATIoN The LVA laboratory works on the theme of vibro-acoustics, i.e. the study of noise-gene-rating phenomena resulting from the vibrations of structures or the vibrations caused by exposure to noise. The laboratory’s work focuses on understanding these phenomena, their theoretical prediction and their experimental characterisation. There are four key areas of research:

• the studying of phenomena of sound transmission by structures in light (aerial acous-tics) or heavy (submarine acoustics) fluids for excitation conditions from acoustic waves, mechanical forces or turbulence fields,

• the development of predictive methods which take into account random behaviour at medium frequencies and the interest of considering energy quantities in order to obtain robust forecast methods,

• the identification of the vibratory or acoustic sources which cause sound emission phenomena using inverse problems,

• the characterisation of sound perception which integrates the human factor that is so important when looking at noise-related issues. This perception analysis forms the basis of the concept of noise quality used increasingly commonly in industry.

A more recent area of research is coupling with new intelligent, granular materials etc. to create multi-material structures with high insulation or acoustic absorption perfor-mance.

The laboratory has built up strong links with major French and European industrial com-panies in the transport sector. The dual demands of developing fundamental studies and applications characterise the laboratory’s work and make it a key member of the Carnot Institute labelled I@L.

VoCATIoN The CITI works on the design, modelling and validation of the hardware and software required to develop ambient networks, mobile services and ubiquitous information tech-nology. Today networks use increasingly heterogeneous architectures deployed in an uncoordinated manner by a large number of actors. Slowly, the access network planning and sizing phase is giving way to the implementation of self-organisation and self-confi-guration mechanisms. In parallel, the number of communicating objects has rocketed, and beyond simple access networks the concept of an ambient network in which objects interact with each other and their environment in a way that is spontaneous and clear to the user is being developed.

As a result, the design, modelling and optimisation of these infrastructures has changed profoundly and requires new models, new approaches, and new concepts based on the distributed algorithms and learning which are the key to the mobile embedded informa-tion technology of the future.

Along with this spectacular increase in application needs, new access technologies are also confronted with the problem of the saturation of radio resources and increasingly stringent requirements in terms of energy consumption and electromagnetic pollution.

The CITI develops its research in five major areas: Networks and protocols, digital com-munication, embedded systems, middleware, and security.

Research at the CITI is carried out by two research teams in asso-ciation with the INRIA (the French National Institute for Research

in Computer Science and Control): The Swing (Smart Wireless Networking) team which works on adaptive architectures for

ambient networks and the Amazones (Ambient Middleware Architectures: Services Oriented, Networked, Efficient and Secured) team which looks at middleware for mobile objects and embedded systems.

VoCATIoN The specificity of the laboratory is its cross-disciplinary approach to medical imaging research embodied by the presence of researchers from three scientific disciplines: information and communication sciences and technologies, engineering sciences and the science of living organisms. The unit’s research approach can be explained as follows:• the Life Sciences team identifies the major unanswered questions in its researchers’

areas of expertise (vascular, cardiac, pulmonary, ventilation functions, bone architecture, cerebrovascular accidents, neuro-degenerative diseases).

• the Methodology-Instrumentation teams optimise the observation (new markers, choice of imaging US, US RF, XR, PET, optical, MRI, NMR, with the development of new acquisi-tion sequences) of physiopathological phenomena in order to reveal whether these are normal or pathological,

• the Signal Processing, Imaging and Modelling teams develop signal and image proces-sing methods (theories, algorithms) specifically adapted to the physical mode in which the data is provided (US, US RF, XR, PET, optical, MRI, NMR) and to the phenomenon observed with the aim of quantifying this phenomenon,

• the evaluation and validation of methods and results falls to the Health team which develops experimental protocols and adapted clinical trials.

• Ultra-compact optical link for optical interconnections.

The first ultra-compact Si integrated optical link was designed, produced and tested within the framework of the European project PICMOS (a collaboration between IMEC, CEA-LETI, TU Eindhoven). It is composed of a very low consumption InP microlaser emitting at 1.55µm, a Si optical guide and an InP photodetector. This link is intended for integration into a CMOS IC.

• Ultra-thin photovoltaic (PV) cells

Half the cost of a silicium PV cell can be imputed to the cost of the substrate. The use of ultra-thin Si substrates leads to a reduction in the optical path of light through the cell and thereby to a decrease in yield. The application of technologies to increase optical path length within the PV cell such as the formation of a reflector on the reverse side is indispensable.

A reverse-side reflector (Bragg mirror) was formed on industrial PV cells 150 µm thick. The application of this reflector significantly improved the PV cells’ infrared response and resulted in a 2% gain in current.

• SiC nanocrystals for the fluorescent marking of living cells.

Stable colloidal solutions containing highly luminescent SiC nano-crystals were obtained from the electro-chemical etching of SiC polycrystalline substrates. It has been demonstrated that these nanoparticles are easily incorporated into biological cells and are easily detectable, opening the way to a new biocompatible marker that is perfectly stable over time.

VoCATIoN LGEF develops research activities focused on multiphysics coupling and, in particular, on electroactive materials and systems.

This activity is divided into two closely-related areas:

- electro-active materials: Synthesis, experimental behaviour laws and associated modelling, with specific research projects on ferroelectric single crystals with high conversion factors, nanocharged electroactive polymers (carbon nanotubes, magnetic nanoparticles, Silicon Carbide nanofibres) and the multi-scale modelling of their beha-viour;

- electro-active systems: The physics of piezoelectric systems, and in particular research projects on the modelling of the behaviour of ferroelectrics in linear and nonlinear regimes, the improvement of the performance of piezoelectric systems using nonlinear processing techniques for the electrical signals generated by materials in order to develop:

- semi-active control systems for narrow and broadband driving signals,

- microgenerators of electrical energy from ambient vibratory or thermal sources,

- self-powered, wireless, autonomous systems (sensor networks, vibration control systems, structure health control),

- small broadband piezoelectric transformers

and pyroelectric and electrocaloric coupling for cooling systems and energy harvesting.

VoCATIoN The Camille Jordan Institute is a mathematical research laboratory.

Created through the merger of four different laboratories, it is now one of the largest mathematical laboratories in France. The institute’s research covers a wide scope: from the most abstract mathematics (algebra, group theory, number theory – it is home to one of the rare logic teams in France) to the most applied (mathematical modelling for biology, scientific calculations, statistics) via a number of cross-border disciplines (mathematical physics, the theory of partial differential equations, probabilities).

The laboratory works in collaboration with numerous other French and international mathematical laboratories and with laboratories in other disciplines such as mechanics, biology, image processing and the environment.
