The emergence of high-harmonic generation in solids has opened the door to countless new techniques for attosecond control in electronic devices. Simultaneously, quantum materials have become increasingly important for next-generation technologies that exploiting quantum mechanics for computation or sensing. Of particular interest is the family of 2D semiconductors, which are known to host an interesting […]

Avec le réchauffement climatique et les objectifs de réduction des émissions de CO2 à zéro d’ici à 2050, la transition vers l’utilisation de sources d’énergie propres est devenue une réalité incontournable. Le photovoltaïque organique (OPV), développé récemment, s’avère être une excellente alternative vers des matériaux durables et des procédés écologiques. Toutefois, ces cellules sont construites […]

During this dual internship, I will be involved in the PIONEER project (PhotoactIve OrgaNic polymErs for watER treatment). It has been demonstrated that through light irradiation, BTI (benzothioxanthene imide) in water generates hydroxyl radicals (OH•), with their recombination product being hydrogen peroxide (H2O2). Hydrogen peroxide serves an antifouling function due to its compatibility with living […]

The quantum internet is predicted to have a substantial impact on our modern society, enabling the transfer of information through networks (so-called quantum networks) with unprecedented security compared to our current, classical protocols. Although small-scale, proof-of-principle quantum network experiments using photons (quanta of light) have already shown great promise, the scaling of these experiments into […]

“THIS IS A GENERIC TEXT PUT IN PLACE AS THERE WAS NO PROJECT OVERVIEW”

Ce projet de recherche est associé au développement d’une technologie verte de recyclage pour des copolymères styréniques tel que le HIPS et l’ABS. Ces deux plastiques sont très utilisés dans les domaines de l’électronique, de l’automobile, et dans la conception d’une myriade d’autres matériaux que nous utilisons tous les jours. La technologie de recyclage de […]

The project studies the green production of ammonia (NH3) for use in fertilizers and as a green fuel. In the method we are studying, connecting an electrochemical cell to a power source allows nitrogen (N2) gas to react with electrons (e-) and protons (H+) on the negative electrode (cathode) to produce NH3. To increase the […]

Sur les 350 millions de tonnes de plastique produites annuellement, seules 9% sont recyclées; le reste étant enfouies, incinérées ou simplement laissées dans la nature. La pollution induite par ces déchets menace tout notre écosystème. La conversion thermochimique conjointe de ces produits avec des résidus forestiers permettrait de venir proposer une solution élégante à cette […]

Most computers and materials work on scales such that quantum effects can be comfortably ignored. But as we aim to make computers ever smaller, quantum effects will cause difficulties; however, they also provide opportunities. Spin-crossover (SCO) materials are molecules that can “Flip” between two states: either high or low spin binary states, making them essentially […]

This project aims to simulate the melting of clusters that are important in the field of nanotechnology and catalysis. We will improve the computational efficiency of Parallel Tempering Monte Carlo (PTMC) simulations by integrating GPU capabilities and interfacing with Gaussian software for energy calculations. The project is an essential part of a Ph.D. thesis that […]
