The PADAWAN project, led by the CORIA laboratory (Complexe de Recherche Interprofessionnel en Aérothermochimie) at the University of Rouen Normandie, as well as the CNRS and INSA Rouen Normandie, has won the €72 million call for projects for innovation in radioactive waste management. It is one of 40 winners announced by Bruno Le Maire, Minister of the Economy, Finance and Industrial and Digital Sovereignty, Agnès Pannier-Runacher, Minister of Energy Transition, Roland Lescure, Minister Delegate for Industry, and Bruno Bonnell, Secretary General for Investment, in charge of France 2030.
Ultrafast single-shot imaging techniques - the fastest cameras in the world - now reach a hundred Tera-frame-per-second imaging speeds (!) but often come with complex setups or sophisticated image reconstruction. The CORIA's Optics & Lasers group then demonstrated a versatile and user-friendly alternative for potential real-world applications.
In 2020, motivated by the celebration of 50 years of publication of the Journal of Aerosol Science, the JAS editors, editorial advisory board, and publisher elected to establish the Journal of Aerosol Science Excellence in Research (JASER) Award. It is intended to acknowledge the quality, originality, and depth of contribution in aerosol research (as defined by scope of the Journal of Aerosol Science) over quantity and acceptance by specific Journals. The JASER Award may be bestowed for a single paper or collection of related papers of particular significance to Aerosol Science.
The optics and laser department is the carrier of an Interreg project called "FireDrone" which consists in developing embedded metrology on a Drone to characterize the soot particles produced during fires.
A recent article of Actu Normandie presents the project!
An interview with Corine Lacour by Science Action Normandie as part of their portraits of women scientists with remarkable careers:
David HONORÉ, teacher-researcher at the CORIA laboratory, in charge of the RAPHYD project, is interested in the energy valorization of hydrogen.
Remarkable results obtained by CORIA researchers in collaboration with GPM researchers have just been published in Science Advances! These results stem from a long-standing collaboration between the CORIA's optics and lasers department (A. Hideur) and the GPM's ERIS group (A. Vella) and deal with the coupling of ultrafast terahertz pulses with an a tomographic atom probe.
On the occasion of the French Aerosol Congress 2021, José Morán, a PhD student at CORIA laboratory, received the prestigious Jean Bricard prize for his thesis work on "the improvement of numerical simulation of soot aerosol formation in flames".
An article recently published in "Journal of Aerosol Science" by a CORIA team was chosen by the editor of the journal to illustrate the contents of volume 151 on the cover page.
