  • CT8: Quantum chemistry and molecular modeling

Aerosols are small solid particles or liquid droplets in suspension. They come from natural sources (volatile organic compounds emitted by biomass, sea salts, etc.) or human action (soot from incomplete fuel combustion).

  • CT9: Physics, chemistry and properties of materials

Our research area is theoretical and numerical physics for materials science, and consists in the ab initio study of the physical properties of materials, mainly with quantum-scale methods based on Density Functional Theory (DFT).

  • TC4: Astrophysics and geophysics

Primordial galaxies are very different from the galaxies that surround us.

  • CT1 : Environment

The polar ice caps are important components of the climate system. A volume of ice representing a 58-meter change in sea level is stored on the Antarctic continent.
