Members activities

A wide range of engineering applications will profit from ACCES, as indicated by the large number of research areas covered by the ACCES Member and Network Laboratories.

Specific examples include:

  Study of thermal transport in 3D integrated circuits based on stacked architectures with interlayer cooling, with the goal to overcome interconnect barriers between processors and memory chips, thus leading to the development of high-performance processor architectures. (LTCM-STI & ESL-STI)
 
Study of the electronic, optical or magnetic properties of complex materials using first-principles simulations. (THEOS-STI)
  Study of the mechanical behavior of solid materials, e.g. wear and fracture, through continuum and discrete methodologies and multi-scale modeling. (LSMS-ENAC & LAMMM-STI)
  Exploration of a novel approach to effectively reverse engineer the gene regulatory networks that perform the fundamental information processing and control mechanisms essential for the survival and correct functioning of biological cells. (LIS-STI)
  Study of hemodynamics and its effect on cardiovascular disease, involving various fluid mechanics analyses such as the numerical simulation of cerebral aneurysms and the effects of intracranial stents on cerebral aneurysm flow. (LHTC-STI)
  Study of land-atmosphere interaction over complex terrain by high-resolution large eddy simulation, with the goal of producing detailed pictures of turbulence structures, improving parameterizations, and bridging theories and observations. (EFLUM-ENAC)
  Modeling and simulation of turbulent flow inside and above wind farms for optimizing the design of wind energy projects. (WIRE-ENAC)
