Departments

The Computer Science Department (D-IR) of the ICube laboratory brings together seven research teams exploring the full spectrum of information and communication science and technology. Their work ranges from the theoretical foundations of computer science to its most innovative applications. Researchers develop approaches and tools for networks and the Future Internet, computational geometry and computer graphics, image processing and computer vision, high-performance computing, modeling and simulation, cloud computing, bioinformatics, data science, and artificial intelligence. This thematic diversity fosters interdisciplinary research and strong collaborations with other scientific and industrial fields, making this department a key player in digital innovation in Strasbourg.

Department head: Caroline ESSERT

Researchers in this department carry out work in the following areas of information and communication sciences and technologies: signal and image acquisition and processing, computer vision, control systems, robotics, remote sensing, neuroscience, and biophysics. Through its four research teams, D-IRTS applies its expertise specifically to new technologies for healthcare (clinical and preclinical medical imaging and robotics).

Department head : Edouard LAROCHE

The research carried out by the three teams covers a broad spectrum — from the physics and technology of elementary components to the design of electronic, microelectronic, and photonic instrumentation systems, including the development of innovative manufacturing processes. D-ESSP thus contributes to advancing knowledge in fields with major societal impact, such as information technologies (nanoelectronic and photonic components), renewable energies (photovoltaic cells and batteries), and medical instrumentation (integrated instrumental systems).

Department head : Wilfried UHRING

The Mechanics Department comprises four research teams. Its research and applied activities cover fluid mechanics, including hydraulics, rheology, and turbulence, reactive transport with applications in wastewater treatment, biomechanics and the links between medical imaging and mechanical properties, multiscale material mechanics and microstructure evolution, civil engineering with applications in geothermal energy and eco-design, innovative design and production, information systems.
