The project will support development of intellectual property capacity within the firm.

Digital twin technology is used to model, explain, understand and predict behavior of complex systems in order to make their performance more reliable or to provide an in silico platform for high throughput testing of the effect of different interventions. Models combined under a digital twin umbrella can also be used to study mechanistic phenomena of a disease. While there are extensive data using genetically and environmentally manipulated laboratory mice to model human disease, these data are study-dependent and have yet to interrogate how metabolism dictates outcome and modulates genetic susceptibility. Moreover, there are no in silico models that combine the multiple behavioral outcomes of these in vivo modelling data with the metabolome. The lack of a murine digital twin is a major missing link in intelligent design of therapeutic strategies for complex diseases. The driving hypothesis of this project is that a digital mouse developed through optimized AI approaches and extensive, available biological data can provide a framework to support the design of evidence-based therapies for neurodegenerative diseases. The main outcome of this project will be an in silico reconstruction and simulation of the dependence of behavior, as a measure of neurodegeneration, on the lipidome and its application in corrective intervention development. The proposed digital mouse will be built using novel AI algorithms and unique, extensive, and longitudinal murine datasets (from birth to death) made available through collaboration.

The goal of this project is to develop an interactive platform for treating sleep problems in shift workers, as well as to integrate portable devices for the development of a learning retention program, and to study the feasibility of estimating and using EMA (Ecological Momentary Assessments) related to circadian rhythms.

L'industrie automobile est actuellement confrontée à des défis
économiques et environnementaux importants liés à l’électrification des
transports et à la nécessité d’améliorer l'efficacité énergétique des
véhicules. En conséquence, il y a eu au cours des dernières années une
forte augmentation de la demande pour des composants plus légers afin de
permettre la réduction des émissions de gaz à effet de serre (GES)
provenant des véhicules à moteur à combustion conventionnels et afin
d’améliorer l'autonomie des véhicules électriques. Cependant, malgré les
progrès significatifs accomplis, l'industrie est toujours à la recherche de
solutions moins coûteuses pour la production en grandes séries de
composants légers.
L'une des alternatives les plus prometteuses pour la fabrication de
composants légers et économiques est l’utilisation d’hybrides métal?composite thermoplastique. Les pièces hybrides fabriquées à partir d’acier
et de composites thermoplastiques avancés, par exemple, combinent en
effet performances mécaniques élevées et faible poids. Cependant, il est
nécessaire de développer des solutions permettant de recycler ces
composants après leur vie utile. Ce Projet porte donc sur le développement
de procédés permettant de séparer et de valoriser les matériaux utilisés
dans la fabrication de composants hybrides ayant atteint leur fin de vie.

The automotive industry currently faces a significant number of economic and
environmental challenges related to fuel efficiency and electrification of
transportation. As a result, there has been in recent years a sharp increase in
demand for lighter components in response to the need to save weight to
reduce GHG emissions coming from conventional combustion engine vehicles
and to increase driving range of electric vehicles. So far, lightweighting efforts
have focused on a wide range of materials including metals and advanced
composite materials. However, despite the significant progress accomplished,
the industry is still looking for more cost-effective solutions for the mass?production of lightweight components. One of the most-promising alternatives
for the fabrication of cost-effective lightweight components consists in metal?composite hybrids. Hybrid components made of steel and advanced
composites combine high mechanical performance with low weight. This
Project thus focuses on the development of hybrid components manufactured
using a one-step process. In particular, this Project aims at modeling the
forming process of metal/composites hybrids to allow metal deformation and
fibre orientations to be predicted in order to provide the necessary information
required for the design of components and production tools.
