Research programme based on 3 axes:- 1: Coatings for protection in aggressive environments (development of materials and choice of architectures and their chemistry, development of means of protection (metal coatings, paints, surface treatments, thermal barriers...) and on their physico-chemical properties in relation to durability.- 2: Environmental quality of living rooms for the health and comfort of occupants (improvement of thermal and acoustic comfort conditions, indoor air quality)- 3: Development of coupled digital tools for transport problems (creation of a simulation tool, e.g. for the hulls of vessels under hydraulic stress to analyse the interaction between fluid flow (air and water)
