Bilateral Contracts with Industry

• Gregoire Allaire is in charge of the RODIN project. This is a consortium of various companies and universities which has been sponsored by the FUI AAP 13 for 3 years, starting on July 2012. The industrial partners are: Renault, EADS, ESI, Eurodecision, Alneos, DPS. The academic partners are: CMAP at Ecole Polytechnique, Laboratoire J.-L. Lions at Paris 6 and 7 Universities, centre de recherches Bordeaux Su-Ouest at Inria. The goal of the RODIN project is to perform research and develop a computer code on geometry and topology optimization of solid structures, based on the level set method. RODIN is the acronym of "Robust structural Optimization for Design in INdustry".

• Grègoire Allaire has a contract with IFPEN on multiscale finite elements for two-phase flows in porous media (in the framework of the PhD thesis of F. Ouaki, to be defended in 2013).

• Grègoire Allaire has a contract with EADS/IW on topology optimization for composite panels drapping (in the framework of the PhD thesis of G. Delgado, to be defended in 2013).

• Grègoire Allaire has a contract with Renault on geometry and topology optimization of structures (in the framework of the two PhD theses of Ch. Dapogny, with the co-advising of P. Frey, to be defended in 2013, and G. Michailidis, with the co-advising of F. Jouve, to be defended in 2013).

• Houssem Haddar is in charge of DEFI part of the FUI project Nanolytix. This three years project started in October 2012 and involves Xenocs (coordinator), imXPAD, Arkema, Inria (DEFI) and CEA-Leti. It aims at building a compact and easy-to use device that images nonaparticles using X-ray diffraction at small or wide angles (SAXS and WAXS technologies). We are in charge of direct and inverse simulation of the SAXS and WAXS experiments.

• Houssem Haddar is in charge of the electormagnetic simulation work package of the FUI project Tandem. This three years project started in December 2012 and involves Bull-Amesys (coordinator), BOWEN (ERTE+SART), Ecole Polytechnique (CMAP), Inria, LEAT et VSM. It aims at constructing a radar system on a flying device capable of real-time imaging mines embedded in dry soils (up to 40 cm deep). We are in charge of numerical validation of the inverse simulator.

• Houssem Haddar has a contract with EDF R&D on non destructive testing of concrete materials (in the framework of the PhD thesis of Lorenzo Audibert, to be defended in 2015)

• Houssem Haddar has a contract with EDF R&D on data assimilation for temprature estimates in nuclear reactors (in the framework of the PhD thesis of Thibault Mercier, to be defended in 2015)

• Houssem Haddar is coordinating the contract EDF R&D on non eddy current non destructive testing. This contract involves Zixian Jiang (PhD to be defended in 2013) and a two years PostDoc, Kamel Riahi.
