ISBA TP supervises research work and theses in its laboratory, in association with Aix-Marseille Université’s Doctoral School 353.
LABI2TEC offers students and young researchers an ideal environment to develop research addressing the major challenges of sustainable infrastructure and the digital transition.
Throughout their studies, ISBA TP students can carry out their specialization project, capstone project or research internship in the laboratory. Supervised by LABI2TEC’s faculty researchers, they contribute to scientific work or applied research projects conducted in collaboration with academic and industrial partners.
The laboratory also welcomes PhD students who wish to pursue research on topics related to its scientific focus areas, including environmental modeling, soil–structure interaction, sustainable materials, BIM, digital twins, artificial intelligence and smart infrastructure.
This continuity between education, research and innovation enables students to develop a genuine scientific approach and to take part in designing the technologies that will shape tomorrow’s infrastructure.

Would you like to develop a research project, host or supervise a student, propose a topic for an internship, supervised project or capstone project, or build a scientific partnership? Our teams are available to work with you on the forms of collaboration best suited to your needs.
Collaborations can take forms such as:
Supervised projects carried out by ISBA TP engineering students
Research internships or capstone projects conducted in the laboratory or in partnership with a company
Collaborative projects bringing together higher education institutions, public bodies and socio-economic stakeholders
Responses to regional, national or European calls for proposals (CFPs)
Contract research and scientific consulting on specific issues.
doctoral theses
Doctoral research
LABI2TEC welcomes PhD students who wish to develop research related to its scientific focus areas. Theses are conducted within Doctoral School 353 “Engineering Sciences” (ED 353), in partnership with the associated laboratories and the institutions accredited to award doctorates.
Research topics include sustainable infrastructure, environmental modeling, soil–structure interaction, innovative materials, BIM, digital twins, artificial intelligence and smart infrastructure.
Doctoral projects can be developed under various funding arrangements: a ministry-funded doctoral contract, a CIFRE industrial PhD agreement, regional, national or European calls for proposals, or any other research support scheme. Each thesis is designed in line with the laboratory’s scientific focus areas and the needs of academic, industrial or institutional partners.
