Intensive microalgae cultivation at the laboratory Institut Pascal

The GePEB axis of the laboratory Institut Pascal, in collaboration with GEPEA, another laboratory of the town Nantes, developed a new technological version of a modular photobioreactor, particularly effective in the field of microalgae production. This project answers to a demand from the industrial sectors such as health, cosmetics and food for which the production of natural molecules, has just becomed essential.

During the day of the Doctoral School of Sciences for the Engineer in Clermont-Ferrand, the price of the best poster was given to Ali AL IBRAHIM, PhD student in the Electromagnetic Compatibility team of the PHOTON Axis of the Institut  Pascal for its research works on the development of techniques for software correction of faulty transmission lines, as well as the detection of faults.

Institut Pascal at the competition "Ma thèse en 180 secondes"

Paolo CUCCI, PhD student of the GePeb Axis of Institut Pascal, has brilliantly managed to popularize his thesis work, the subject of which speaks about somewhat mysterious for the general public: "Development of a new method of measurement, modeling and prediction of the potential of oxidation-reduction (pOR) with a view to a reasoned improvement of the processes of transformations of the meat products" through its selection for the final phases of the national competition Ma Thèse in 180 seconds.
