     • Turbomachines and propulsion
     • Aerodynamics
     • Fundamental fluid dynamics

2     The Mechanics, structures and materials Department is part of the Clément Ader Institute that gathers in a
        single laboratory all the research capabilities of the Occitanie Region (UPS, INSA, ISAE-SUPAERO, IMT Mines
        Albi-Carmaux).
      ISAE-SUPAERO professors’ research is focused on:
     • Mechanical system modelling
     • Materials & composite structures
     • Surface treatment

3     The Electronics, optronics and signal processing Department is organized into 4 research groups:
     • Signal, communication, antennas, navigation
     • Microelectronic image sensors
     • Space systems for Planetology & Applications

4      he Complex systems engineering Department concentrates research driven in the multidisciplinary
      T
      scientific fields:
     • Applied math
     • Communication networks
     • Decision making systems
     • Engineering for critical systems
