On the roof of Collège de France
Some souvenir de Paris…where all the team, or almost, had a pleasant and interesting colloquium in a wonderful place ! It was also a good opportunity to meet some of our former members. Four of them are hidden in the picture, would you recognize them ?
E-MRS Quinquennial anniversary award
“The E-MRS Anniversary Award recognizes the career contribution of a scientist to fundamental understanding of the science of materials through experimental and/or theoretical research.” It is attributed every five years and after Sir Richard Friend, Prof. Dan Schechtman and Sir John Pendry, the award has been attributed this year to … Prof. Thomas Ebbesen !
He will receive it during the E-MRS conference plenary session on Wednesday 20th June in Strasbourg, where he will deliver a presentation on
Light-Matter Interactions in a Material Science Perspective.
Venga Yoseline !
Tomorrow, June 13, at 9.15am, our phD student Yoseline Rosales-Cabara will lead the summer edition of the Young Scientist Seminar of ISIS, with a talk entitled
Optical trapping and recognition of single enantiomers
Jino is back
Our former postdoc Jino George, now assistant professor at IISER Mohali, arrived in Strasbourg last Friday and will stay two weeks among us. Welcome back !
Some fresh blood in the team !
Since a few weeks we are welcoming two master 2 students in the team : Jérôme Gautier and Florentin Fabre (who is doing a joint training between ISIS and IPCMS) and a master 1 student, Samuel Morville. And more recently, two more master students from India joined the group : Kripa Joseph, coming from IISER Mohali, for a 3 months stay, and Anjali Jayachandran, from CBS Mumbai, for a 6 months stay.
Here is our junior team, from left to right : Samuel, Florentin, Jérôme, Anjali and Kripa
Nano team in Paris
The nanostructures team had a nice time yesterday in Paris, on the occasion of the inaugural lesson of Thomas Ebbesen in Collège de France. Here are some souvenirs of this beautiful afternoon.

Inaugural lecture at Collège de France
As mentionned in a previous post, Thomas Ebbesen was elected to an annual chair at Collège de France this year. He will give his inaugural lecture entitled The Alchemy of the Void – Light-Matter Interactions in Physical Chemistry on May 2nd, 6pm at the Collège de France in Paris (Amphithéâtre Marguerite de Navarre – Marcelin Berthelot), then a serie of courses will follow in May and June and the detailed program can be found here. Lectures are open to all, free of charge and without prior registration so if you can catch a train to Paris, don’t hesitate to attend !
