Chemical engineering and processes

The "Unité de Chimie et Procédés (UCP)" focuses on two main areas: process engineering and organic synthesis and reactivity.

The "Génie des Procédés - GDP" group conducts research and training in the fields of thermodynamics, thermochemistry, combustion, and thermophysics. This work, which is both experimental and theoretical, has applications in sectors such as energy, transportation, the environment, space, and process safety.

The "Synthèse Organique et Réactive (SOR)" group is part of the Chemistry and Processes Unit. This integration promotes interdisciplinary collaboration, allowing the SOR group to benefit from synergies with other fields of chemistry and process engineering. This group is also part of the UMR LSO (Laboratoire de Synthèse Organique), a laboratory of ENSTA and École Polytechnique.
