PARTNER LABORATORIES
5 major ISEL disciplines related
to the world of Research
The school relies on a team of teacher-researchers attached to these laboratories, very active in the field with several research projects in progress, in particular within the ISEL Industrial Chair.
Computer science
Management science
Applied mathematics
Automation and electrical engineering
Complex energy and environment
LITIS
The Laboratory of Computing, Information Processing and Systems (LITIS) specialises in the field of information science and technology in Normandy.
In Le Havre, the RI2C team was formed around the study of complex systems, focusing on the notion of interactions, and the emergence of collective intelligence within these systems.
ISEL’s teacher-researchers attached to this laboratory carry out large-scale ANR or emerging projects on various themes: post-industrial, natural or health disaster humanitarian logistics; logistics for dismantling major structures to recover and optimise materials through reuse or recycling, etc.

80 Researchers including 36 ASR (Authorised to Supervise Research)
- About 60 doctoral students
- Associated doctoral schools: Mathematics, Information and Systems Engineering (MIIS) and Life Sciences (NBISE)
NIMEC
Normandie Innovation Marché Entreprise Consommation (NIMEC) is Normandy’s university management science laboratory. Its research work has helped it develop expertise recognised at national and international levels on themes with a strong societal and managerial impact, in particular on logistics, regional dynamics, business forecasting, well-being at work and on certain innovative methodologies (videography, netnography).
The research of ISEL’s teacher-researchers attached to NIMEC focuses on short circuits, the circular economy, ecological imperatives in supply chains, the ports of the future, etc.

- 90 researchers
- 15 academic units, around 50 doctoral students
- Associated doctoral school: Normandy Economics and Management Doctoral School
LMAH
Laboratoire de Mathématiques Appliquées du Havre (LMAH) directs its research work on modelling concrete problems, analysing these models by mathematical tools and developing effective strategies for performance optimisation, by focusing to two major applications: life models and logistics.
ISEL’s teacher-researchers attached to LMAH work on mathematical models for complex flows, flow dynamics, planning and supply, etc.

20 Researchers
- 5 academic units
- Around 8 doctoral students
- Associated doctoral school: Mathematics, Information and Systems Engineering (MIIS)
GREAH
Groupe de Recherche en Électrotechnique et Automatique du Havre (GREAH) covers two disciplinary fields: “Electrical Systems & Electric Mobility” and “Operating Safety & Robotics”, and structures its activities around three themes: Renewable energies and power storage; Actuators and electromechanical drive systems; Advanced control and system operating safety.
Our team of teacher-researchers attached to GREAH carry out research on mobile robotics (land and air) and IoT with several major projects for the passage of goods, traceability, digitisation of the supply chain, monitoring air quality via drones… The equipment (cobots, robots, drones and IoT) of the school’s technological platforms is also piloted by this team.
- 30 Researchers
- 7 academic units
- About 40 doctoral students
- Associated doctoral school: Mathematics, Information and Systems Engineering (MIIS)
The LOMC
The Laboratory of Waves and Complex Media (LOMC) is a CNRS 6294 UMC and becomes a partner of ISEL. The research axes of this laboratory are HYTER (Marine Hydrodynamics, Instabilities, Turbulence, Reactive Processes) and GCE (Civil Engineering-Environment).
The teacher-researchers, working at ISEL and attached to this laboratory, develop research in the following themes: fluid dynamics, the transition to turbulence in a divergent cylindrical pipe, subcritical instabilities, instabilities of viscoelastic liquid flows, thermo-convective instabilities and thermoelectric convection, theoretical modeling of physicochemical processes of energy interest.

21 Researchers
- 17 PU
- 1 CNRS researcher
or 39 researchers/teacher-researchers (including HDR) - 37 doctoral students
- Associated doctoral school: Physics, Engineering Sciences, Materials and Energy (PESME)
