New Materials, Intelligent Systems, and Innovative Companies



The areas of expertise within Research Axis “New Materials, Intelligent Systems, and Innovative Companies” encompasses a wide range of subjects, spanning from the research of emerging materials, intelligent systems, cybersecurity and networks, to the study of the micro-, meso-, macro- dynamics and the psychological, behavioural, and social implications brought by developing, using, and coping with these innovations. In this context, the Axis is structured along two dimensions: Intra-disciplinary areas and Inter-disciplinary projects. Intra-disciplinary areas aim to bring together a community of “thematically close” researchers, while inter-disciplinary projects aim to gather researchers interested in a specific scientific research topic, which is usually multi-disciplinary.




Intra-disciplinary areas

New Materials, Intelligent Systems, and Innovative Companies

The research of the Axis “New Materials, Intelligent Systems, and Innovative Companies” is mainly centred around four major intra-disciplinary areas:

New materials

The search for functional smart materials represents a major challenge in various fields such as automotive, aerospace, and biomedicine. In this context, our researchers collaborate to harness their expertise in designing bio-inspired architected metamaterials and smart materials, from the digital design phase to the optimization of structural and/or functional properties, encompassing manufacturing and experimental characterization. The technologies developed encompass skills in multiple domains, including multi-scale numerical modeling and simulation, finite element method, artificial intelligence, additive manufacturing, smart manufacturing, and experimental methods.

Cybersecurity, Network, Intelligent systems

As part of the digital transformation of society, digital security plays a crucial role. Within the Axis, this theme encompasses cybersecurity, network security, resilience, and cryptography, holding significant importance with both national and international visibility. The second theme focuses on intelligent systems, which are essential components of digital transformation. Research within the Axis in this domain centres on human-machine interactions, whether from a visual, audio, and/or tactile perspective, as well as on robotics, connected devices, IoT, virtual reality, and e-health, all linked to recent advances in artificial intelligence.


Organization and Innovation

How to organize for innovation and how do innovations impact our social, behavioral, and organizational lives are crucial for both theory and practice. Our members excel on an international scale in understanding and exploring the development of new products and processes, as well as in other areas such as managing technological innovation, nurturing talent, supply chain optimisation, advanced warehouse and operations management, brand promotion, and the impact they bring to individuals, groups and countries through these innovations. We have also established expertise in funding, staffing, and developing innovative ventures (entrepreneurship and new venture creation).

Digital strategy, Ecosystem, Business Models

We are very interested in researching strategies that enable, promote and manage innovations in this digitalized and hyper-connected world. Our axe members are passionate about studying digital strategy & digital transformation, ethnographies of digital phenomena (e. g. gamification, blockchain, algorithmic management), psychology in a digital context (affect and emotions in the digital space), digital marketing, digital and social interactions (via wearables, robotics, deep-learning, gaming, etc.), as well as both the existing and the evolution of business models of innovative companies.

Among the interdisciplinary projects, we include:

  1. Virtual reality and e-commerce
  2. Robotics, artificial intelligence, and green innovation
  3. Human-computer interaction and organizational behavior
