Scientific excellence at EIPHI

Mainly powered by 7 renowned French research labs (FEMTO-ST, ICB, IMB, LmB, ImViA, UTINAM and ICMUB) and their associated partners, EIPHI graduate school is willing to develop its excellence in research focused on the development of innovative Smart systems.

The EIPHI scientific project is resolutely based on a top-down systemic vision combining at best research, technology, industrial development and societal impact well identified at the European level: Efficiency, Safety and Security, Well-being and Information society.

It combines both the development of multidisciplinary demonstrators and high-risky challenges dealing with:

• multiscale/physical integration and miniaturization,
• accurate control of multiphysically-coupled and non-stationary waves,
• functional “programmable” (meta)-materials and –surfaces,
• complex heterogenous system architecture design and management,
• sustainability/energy efficiency,
• big data, reliability and robustness,
• along with socio-economic criteria like social acceptance and cost.

EIPHI Research program is structured around 3 main topics:

Adaptive Architectures, Advanced Materials & Processes

• Adaptive metamaterials and structures
• Active micro-nano-mechatronics and robotics
• Numerical modelling and programmable matter
• Reactive, bio-inspired/sourced and multifunctional materials & surfaces
• Sustainable processes and hybrid (micro)manufacturing

Six research projects have been launched for the period 2020-2023, strongly supported by the Région Bourgogne-Franche Comté, as well as the ERDF Bourgogne:

CALYPSO

CAVHYTATION

DECOLAIR

MICROFIB

NUCLE

TRAVELER

Monitoring & Prediction of complex systems

• Prognostic & Structural health monitoring/management
• Multifunctional nanoparticles, (bio)sensors & (wireless) networks
• Complex control and computing, artificial intelligence, modelling & security, imaging
• Bioinformatics
• Clean (green) hydrogen energy, safe and efficient energy an harvesting

Compact, active and agile information processing devices

• Integrated (micro-nano-)photonic and phononic components
• Smart nonlinear and quantum systems at micro-nano-scale
• Ultrafast control
• Photonic neuromorphic computing
• Time-frequency (micro)devices

Four research projects have been launched for the period 2020-2023, strongly supported by the Région Bourgogne-Franche Comté, as well as the ERDF Bourgogne:
