Presentation
The Master degree Materials for Energy and Transport aims to give students a thorough knowledge of the physicochemical and mechanical properties of materials. The objective is to address fundamental or applied research and thus to improve the performance of one given material or to implement new materials with both structural and functional properties. Particular attention is paid to the characterization and implementation of specific materials designed to protect components in different environments. Learning the strategy of material selection is another purpose of this training. Material aspects related to experimental work, theoretical considerations and multi-scale modeling will be developed. The materials studied are intended for various fields such as nuclear (fission and fusion), energy production and storage by new technologies (photovoltaic conversion, fuel cells, hydrogen storage, electrochemical storage, thermoelectricity, etc.) or the transportation sector (aerospace, automobile).
Vocation
The mission of these research courses is to train a student for a doctorate and train her / him as a young researcher and then ensure her / his insertion into research institutions on materials (aeronautics, naval, automotive) or into new research centers specialized in energy technologies (photovoltaic, wind, fuel cells, storage batteries.
