Image processing: Implementation of a numerical method in order to track patches at the surface of the Leman lake.

Epfl (Ecole Polytechnique Fédérale De Lausanne)

The purpose of this academical project is to develop an experimental method aiming the laser-assisted bioprinting of engineered biological tissues, as human skin. It involved the development of a specified manufacturing process using clean room equipment, and the usage of different imaging devices in optical microscopy (fluorescent, phase contrast, interferential, ...). This led to the application of a patent and the writing of a scientific paper.This project is made as an attribution of the "service civil" and on an independent basis, but with the help of a doctoral student of LAPD.

Laboratory Of Theoretical Physics Of Nanosystems

I first implementated a new method capable of computing mechanical modes (or phonons) of any periodical 2D phononic crystal (PnC), validated it using a different method and checked its convergence.Then, I used this method in order to design a new PnC structure: I proceeded to a slight tuning of different parameters of this structure in order to optimize certain properties, e.g. maximizing band gap size. Finally, this resulted to the finding of a promising structure exhibiting a large band gap and being quite easily manufacturable. This has some very interesting outcomes in optomechanical systems and can lead to some future works.This project has been supervised by Prof. Vincenzo Savona, director of LTPN.

Support to students during exercises hours in general physics (4h/week)

Carouge, Ge

I participated in the development of a new generation quantum cryptographic system, based on the implementation of a new protocol of Quantum Key Distribution (QKD), by taking care of the calibration and the optimization of the whole system. My contribution implied both hardware and software developments, mixing physics, computer science and electronics. I was also involved in the delivery, installation and presentation of the product to the client.
