Fiber optics are today ubiquitous in every high grade telecom installations. In an expanding market which requires an ever increasing amount of fibers and cables to maintain a sustainable growth, it is crucial to understand the mechanics that drive the wear (and ultimately, the fracture) of those materials.My position, as a PhD student, consisted in the characterization of the many parameters that are required to undestand the quality and ergonomy/lifetime prediction of an optical fiber.

Rennes Area, France

Worked on the design and manufacturing of novel heat sink solutions for compact electronic circuits that had an use in the Power Electronics industry (AC cooling, automotive).The work was mainly based on the theoretical analysis of heat flow dynamics in pre-defined and generated circuit structures. State equations and finite element technics (COMSOL) were used.

Spreading tensioactive molecules on the surface of a liquid modifies its surface tension and leads to the creation of a flow called Marangoni Flow. Even though this phenomenon was discovered long ago, the mathematical modelization of some of its resulting effects has not yet been done.My work was to set the basis to the modelization of this phenomenon when spreading in a controled and constant manner. The results will be soon published in a physics review letter.

Smart gels are products that respond to external physical stimuli (temperature, exposition to light..) or chemical stimuli (pH, solvents) by swelling or shrinking. They will swell by absorbing surrounding water and shrink by releasing water.During this internship, I worked on P-NIPAM (Poly(N-isopropylacrylamide)) gels. First, I improved an already existing method of P-NIPAM synthesis. Then, I used a rheometer to study the mechanical properties of the gel when exposed to temperature gradients.

University Of Houston

Worked on the vacuum deposition of mono-cristalline ZrN (111) oriented thin films by Reactive Magnetron Sputtering for solar cell applications in space. The goal was to improve an already existing method for growing Zirconium Nitride thin films on three different substrates. As Reactive Magnetron Sputtering is a complex deposition technique that depends on a large amount of parameters, I spent most of my internship searching for the right conditions for growing stoichiometric ZrN films.
