TEXMOF (2019-2022) The thematic axis is nanotechnology in fundamental research (88 290 €). Work in collaboration with the DGA, Centrale Lille, UCCS and GEMTEX. I follow the resistance tests of MOF on textiles (abrasion tests), and participate in the progress meetings. Co-supervision of 3 students in the Sprint project (3rd year of the engineering cycle) from October 2021 to February 2022.

IGNIFLAX (2020-2024) Project on the fireproofing of flax fibres (33 438 € with a funding for GEMTEX of 9600€), in collaboration with UCEIV (ULCO), UMET (Univ. Lille, Centrale) and GEMTEX (ENSAIT). The project will start internally, I will follow the realization of composites from ULCO fireproofed fibres and their different resins and study the mechanical properties of the samples, I will co-supervise a student in end of studies projects from June to September 2022.
