Project Description

Our team studies photonic systems and investigates specific physical properties for biomedical applications (but not limited to).

Our team carries out work taking into account all the steps necessary to obtain an actual working prototype or a proof of principle of a physical phenomenon: sample fabrication in a clean room; numerical simulation (Matlab/Python/Comsol); optical/electrical characterization. 

We have several experimental setups for plasmonic imaging, fluorescence imaging, or pump-probe characterization.

We are open to candidates' suggestions to discuss and exchange with them on a possible research topic in agreement with our field and the candidate's interest.

Some examples of projects currently being carried out in the team:
Study of thermal and optical effects in pulse regime
Analysis of cellular organization on nanostructured substrates.
Study and realization of biological sensors based on plasmonic effect and fabricated on silicon.
Realization of optical guide
Optical-quantum coupling and fundamental study
Detection of bacteria
