Automotive radars are a key sensor in modern and future cars by contributing to life-saving driving assistance functions. This PhD studies the feasibility of automotive radar receivers at an operating frequency of 140 GHz. Millimeter wave design tools...

The presence of moisture is particularly critical for microelectronic applications, leading to overall performance degradation, metal corrosion within the integrated circuit, and even delamination between different layers. To protect the chips from environmental...

The IMS laboratory will meet industry players on Monday December 2 in order for them to visit its technical platforms as part of the « Semaine de l’innovation » (innovation week). This visit, open to entreprises, is aiming at introducing them to the...

For competitive positioning, manufacturing companies are leveraging two key paradigms: Lean for organizational efficiency in production and Industry 4.0 (I4.0) for technological transformation. The objective of this thesis is to explore potential synergies...

This thesis addresses the development of GaN (Gallium Nitride) technology, which is crucial for the European Union’s radar and telecommunication sectors, especially for high-frequency applications like 5G and military systems. The research focuses...

The high cost of software maintenance requires a focus on software maintainability. Although it emerges from the structure of the source code, its evaluation is subjective, as it depends on developers and the context.Current maintainability models tend...

This thesis develops a Digital Twin (DT) engineering approach inspired by systems theory to facilitate the management of complex systems in an increasingly interconnected world. The DT stands out for its ability to combine data-driven and model-based...

Learning-capable edge artificial intelligence (AI) systems require both inference and learning capabilities combined with energy efficiency.  No current memory technology fully meets these needs. Memristor arrays are well-suited for AI inference but...

In order to encourage industrial interest in terahertz systems for non-destructive testing, this thesis features various methods and techniques for improving the imaging and thickness measurement performance of sub-THz FMCW (Frequency Modulated Continuous...

The aim of this thesis is to investigate the variables that influence the behaviour of an autonomous vehicle in order to determine acceptable and safe ranges of variation in various typical use cases. It seeks to identify rules that enable safe, acceptable...
