PhD in chemistry & National education exam for chemistry education called "Agrégation" laureate (ranked 19th)


I flourish with various projects and motivated people. Capable of adaptibility and reassessment, I can't wait to face new challenges!


PhD work

My PhD project proposes to develop a hybrid material exploiting molecular and plasmonic units, more precisely photochromic molecules and gold nanorods respectively.This new macroscopic device will present specific optical properties :
- enhanced by nanoscale phenomena as interparticle couplings;
- reversibly modulated by light excitation provided by the photochromic molecule.
The use of nanoparticles assemblies is expected to allow a higher modulation rate of the photophysical properties than the modulation observed with isolated nanoparticles.
