Functional Materials, Electronics, Photonics & Photovoltaics and Biotechnology and health
The research programs draw on the resources of the Lyon-based Nanolyon technology platform.
A transversal research operation is specifically dedicated to the development of Nanocharacterization tools and techniques.
The laboratory is situated on the campuses of Ecole Centrale de Lyon, INSA Lyon, University of Lyon 1 and CPE. It comprises 120 permanent staff and approximately 95 non-permanent staff. The annual budget excluding salaries is about 3M€
The activity of the Laboratory is organized around four research groups: Centre for Acoustics, Fluid complex and Transfers Turbomachinery, Turbulence and Stability.
The research focuses on the physics and modeling of turbulence, hydrodynamic instabilities, two-phase flows, environmental fluid mechanics, aerodynamics internal thermal phenomena coupled aeroacoustics, acoustic propagation, methods of solving Navier-Stokes equations, the active or passive control of flow, microfluidics.
This research lead to numerous collaborations with industry players and institutional areas of Transport, Environment and Energy. The goal is to provide developers with the tools of analysis and modeling to optimize their products or processes and reduce the energy and environmental impact.
In the transport sector, the LMFA developed an expertise on turbine (axial compressors of aircraft engines, turbo and centrifugal machines) on the reduction of noise (cars, planes, TGV) and the new engine cars. Research in the Environment focuses on mass transfer in the atmosphere, environmental hydraulics, noise and noise pollution, industrial hazards. The study covered the energy sector, particularly in terms of process optimization fluids, nuclear or oil phase flow, hydraulic turbines, new energy sources
.
Its scientific field is broad and covers Tribology (study of friction, wear, lubrication, adherence), Systems Dynamics (control of vibrations and stability of systems and machine parts) Solids Mechanics (structures calculation) and transformation processes (cut, assembly…).
The L.T.D.S existence is due to the succession of the following events:
1970: Creation of Surfaces Technology Department at Centrale Lyon by J.M. Georges
1974: Association to CNRS : Surfaces Technology Laboratory, URA 855.
1991: Proposal of widening to Solids Mechanics Department from Centrale Lyon and to Interfaces Physics Department from ENISE.

The laboratory involves 280 people with 94 faculty members and researchers from INSA de Lyon, Université Claude Bernard Lyon 1, Ecole Centrale de Lyon, Université Lumière Lyon 2 and CNRS.
The laboratory is organized in two departments :
The laboratory leads research on fundamental issues in these areas (image, and Data, Knowledge and services). It also investigates applications with an impact on society :
Culture and heritage (digital libraries, critical edition, digitization of ancient documents, archiving, 3D virtual museums …)
Ambient intelligence (pervasive systems, sensor networks, intelligent video surveillance, secured communicating objects …)
Biology and health (data mining, complex systems modeling and analysis, e-health, …)
Human learning (personalization, cognitive assistance, collaborative learning …)
Digital entertainment (video games, animated cinema, multimedia data processing …)
The ECL also has a Ph.D.
program for students with a master's level. More than 100 doctoral candidates work in 5 different laboratories in the school.

The laboratory of Tribology and Systems Dynamics, was created in 1992 and became in January 1995 a Mixed Unit of Research CNRS-MESR (ECL-ENISE) (UMR 5513) which depends on the Scientific department Engineering and Information Sciences and Technologies, depending on Section 9 of the Evaluation National Committee. LTDS is on two sites: Centrale Lyon (main site) and the National School of Engineers at Saint-EtienneENISE
ENISE : National Engineering School of Saint-ÉtienneENISE is a French public engineering school which offers five-year courses in engineering after the baccalauréat, in the fields of Mechanical Engineering, Civil Engineering and Sensory Engineering.The school delivers the Diplôme d'Ingénieur in...
.
Its scientific field is broad and covers Tribology (study of friction, wear, lubrication, adherence), Systems Dynamics (control of vibrations and stability of systems and machine parts) Solids Mechanics (structures calculation) and transformation processes (cut, assembly…).
The L.T.D.S existence is due to the succession of the following events:
1970: Creation of Surfaces Technology Department at Centrale Lyon by J.M. Georges
1974: Association to CNRS : Surfaces Technology Laboratory, URA 855.
1991: Proposal of widening to Solids Mechanics Department from Centrale Lyon and to Interfaces Physics Department from ENISE.
1993: Creation of Laboratory of Tribology and Systems Dynamics, Director J.M. GEORGES. Change of direction: P. Kapsa Director.
LIRIS
LIRIS (Laboratoire d’InfoRmatique en Image et Systèmes d’information) was created in 2003 through the merging of several former laboratories involved in Communication and Information Technology research. LIRIS is affiliated to CNRS (Centre National de Recherche Scientifique) under the label UMR 5205.The laboratory involves 280 people with 94 faculty members and researchers from INSA de Lyon, Université Claude Bernard Lyon 1, Ecole Centrale de Lyon, Université Lumière Lyon 2 and CNRS.
The laboratory is organized in two departments :
- Image department : It has approximately 40 faculty members (12 professors, 28 associate professors) and 3 permanent researchers. The department incorporates five research teams. The research activities of the department cover a wide variety of methods for sensors (2D, 2D+t, 3D) data analysis, for a better understanding and for multidimensional data modeling. Hence, the research activities cover the areas of image analysis, modeling, simulation and rendering. Various data representation models are investigated, including regular grids of sensors, graphs, mesh, geometric models, procedural models, statistical or physical models. The hybridization of these models can yield to the enrichment of the representation space. The developed techniques rest on competencies of the research teams around image and signal processing, geometric modeling, algorithmic geometry, discrete geometry, topology, graphs, realistic rendering and augmented reality.
- Data, Knowledge and Services (DCS) department : The DCS department is organized around five research teams involving 44 faculty members (11 professors, 33 associate professors). The research activities of the department cover a wide variety of theories, methods, and applications of information technology to the management of data, knowledge and services. It covers the following areas:Knowledge discovery (data mining, complex systems modeling, knowledge engineering)Data and services engineering (security and confidentiality, modeling, integration and querying, service composition)
The laboratory leads research on fundamental issues in these areas (image, and Data, Knowledge and services). It also investigates applications with an impact on society :
Culture and heritage (digital libraries, critical edition, digitization of ancient documents, archiving, 3D virtual museums …)
Ambient intelligence (pervasive systems, sensor networks, intelligent video surveillance, secured communicating objects …)
Biology and health (data mining, complex systems modeling and analysis, e-health, …)
Human learning (personalization, cognitive assistance, collaborative learning …)
Digital entertainment (video games, animated cinema, multimedia data processing …)
