Testimonials

Coming to France as a foreign student to pursue my postdoctoral research at IMI was an enriching experience. Joining the IRPHE laboratory gave me the opportunity to evolve in a dynamic and stimulating environment, in collaboration with researchers. IMI's support, both financial and scientific, played a key role in my progress. The experience not only enabled me to achieve my research goals, but also to develop both culturally and personally.

The IMI-funded project I'm working on aims to understand how ultrasound affects the microenvironment of bone cells. The long-term aim will be to be able to personalize treatment for bone diseases such as osteoporosis. I chose this subject because improving techniques for medicine is close to my heart and, more specifically, it would help me in my specialization in imaging and microfluidic techniques. My work is shared between two of the institute's four laboratories, the IRPHE and the LMA, enabling me to carry out interdisciplinary research and acquire in-depth knowledge of microfluidics on the one hand, and acoustics on the other, which is essential to the success of this research. Following this post-doc stage in Marseille, I hope to be able to gain research experience abroad and, why not, outside Europe.

We've been working with the M2P2 laboratory and the IMI institute for several years. The move of Fives Pillard to the Château-Gombert Technopôle in 2020 has accelerated our collaboration thanks to our geographical proximity. This collaboration took shape in 2021 with the setting up of a CIFRE thesis to develop numerical methods for the H2 transition of our premix burners. This R&D work will enable us to address our customers' decarbonization issues, while continuing to offer ultra-low-NOx technologies. The M2P2 laboratory, with its links to the IMI institute, brings a real scientific approach to our approach, with staff who very quickly understood our industrial challenges.
