Research themes and departments

At IMT Atlantique Bretagne-Pays de la Loire, research focused on digital technology, energy and the environment. Our research relies on skills and expertise in several areas, the main ones being:

  • Subatomic physics and nuclear chemistry
  • Energy and environmental processes

  • Robotics and automation

  • Mathematics (simulation, modelisation, optimisation, coding, decision-making)

  • Modelisation and design of electronic, microwave and optical functions

  • Implementation of algorithms for complex functions

  • Signal, image and data processing

  • IT, software engineering, artificial intelligence

  • Networked systems (communications, energy, waste, water, air)

  • Human and social sciences

Research is carried out through projects involving one or several of the thirteen teaching and research departments of IMT Atlantique:
