Location
Nancy is a medieval city of about 350,000, located in the heart of the beautiful Lorraine region. The city is well connected by train to Paris, Frankfurt, and Brussels (each about 200 miles), and Luxemburg (75 miles). The "vielle ville" (old city) region of Nancy is known for its small streets, beautiful mansions, museums, and historic walks. There is a large student population, as well, and Nancy offers plenty of sports, concerts, movies, shopping, and eating places that are of interest to students.
Projects
The projects will be done in collaboration with the chemical engineering school of the Institut National Polytechnic de Lorraine (INPL), and l'Ecole Nationale Supérieure des Industries Chimiques (ENSIC). The projects will take place in one or more of the following: Laboratoire de Chimie Physique Macromoléculaire (LPCM, Physical Chemistry of Macromolecules), Département de Chimie Physique des Réactions (DPCR, Physical Chemistry of Reactions), Laboratoire de Thermodynamique des Séparations (LTS, Thermodynmics and Separation Processes), or Laboratoire des Sciences due Génie Chimique (LSCG, Chemical Engineering Sciences). Projects are anticipated in testing a polymeric drug delivery system, image analysis of bacteria from a wastewater treatment process, bacterial biofilm formation in bioreactors, and possibly in fuel cells.
