The presentation of Interfaces

Computer Science

• Our know-how in modeling and solving fundamental problems towards real applications through public-private partnerships is organized around three axes:
• Safety, security and reliability: ensuring reliability and computational efficiency by guaranteeing safety for both hardware and software, applied to networks, data (private life protection) and systems (on chip & embedded)
• Data science, artificial intelligence & optimization: modeling and optimizing complex systems, data and knowledge sciences ; artificial intelligence and operational research, from decision making to adaptive and multi agent systems, human learning and interactive systems
• Smart objects: tools and methods to observe, analyze, understand, process and design complex systems and networks and embedded systems.

Robotics and Intelligent Systems

• Design and control of robotic systems with high dynamic complexity (mobile robots, humanoids) or for applications involving human-machine interaction (haptic interfaces, tangible interaction with microworld, assistance to rehabilitation)
• Disruptive concepts inspired from life sciences, such as multimodal perceptual systems, bioinspired robotics, artificial learning, etc.

Biomedical Imagery

• Morphological, functional and molecular imaging, at the preclinical and clinical stages. Target pathologies are related to aging, such as osteoarticular, cardiac, vascular or neurological diseases, and cancer.
  - New diagnostic and therapeutic approaches based on ultrasound imager, MRI, C Scan, PET and diffuse optical imaging.
  - Means for early diagnostic and for evaluating the response to ne theranostic modalities, new biomarkers adapted to biological analysis, improved understanding of physio-pathological processes. 

Medical informatics

• Modeling, visualization, processing and integration of biomedical data and knowledge for e-health.
• Various contexts: pharmacovigilance, rare diseases, cardiovascular diseases, psychiatry, nutrition, prevention.

Nervous system and respiratory systems

Biological, histological, physiological, pharmacological and clinical approaches, including psychophysiology
with a systematic use of biomathematics and modeling.

           ⇒ Three main topics:

• Cerebral cortex and respiration
• Automatic control of ventilation in animals and humans
• Respiratory neuro-stimulation in animals and humans
