Welcome to Elias and Minghao !
Since three weeks and for the next months, we are welcoming two master 2 students in the team, Elias Akiki, from Lebanon and Minghao Li, from China.
Gabriel Schnoering crossed the border
Gabriel Schnoering, who defended a few months ago, left the lab last month and just started a week ago his new position, at the Physikalisches Institut in Stuttgart University.
We wish him and his family all the best !
ISIS is expanding
A nice picture of all the ISIS members (at least those present this day, February 21) was taken last week in front of the institute. For information, ISIS will expand next year as the works for the building extension just started this month, a nice way to celebrate its 15th birthday !
Who is the intruder ?
To finish the week, a little picture of our group taken last Friday at ISIS. Our intruder is of course Jean-Pierre Sauvage, our Chemistry Nobel Prize new laureate. Once again, we congratulate him for this !
Welcome to Yoseline !
Yoseline Rosales Cabara joined our group on October 1st for starting a phD thesis on optical trapping under the supervision of Cyriaque Genet. She did her master degree in the University of Geneva, working on two-photon excited fluorescence by quantum correlated photon pairs. She is installed in room 120 and her email adress is rosalescabara (at) unistra (dot) fr.
Atef is back
As we all miss him in the lab, our former postdoc Atef Shalabney, now in Braude College in Israël, will be back for a three weeks research stay from October 3rd. If you wish to meet him, he will be installed in room 107.
Mini symposium and PhD defense of Gabriel Schnoering
We are pleased to announce for next week a mini-symposium with two seminars on optical forces given by members of the PhD jury of Gabriel Schnoering:
Prof. Mikael KALL, from the Department of Physics, Chalmers University of Technology,Göteborg, Sweden, on Optically driven plasmonic nanorotors
and Prof. Romain QUIDANT from ICFO – The Institute of Photonic Sciences, Barcelona, Spain, on Nano-optomechanics with an optically levitated nanoparticle
This mini-symposium will take place in the conference room of ISIS, on Wednesday 21th of September at 3pm.
Then the next day, on Thursday 22. at 9.30am, Gabriel will defend his PhD thesis entitled On the Brownian dynamics of a particle in a bistable optical trap. This work has been done under the supervision of Dr. Cyriaque Genet and Prof. T.W. Ebbesen. A small reception will then follow at the 6th floor of ISIS.
May the (optical) force be with him…
Welcome to Joan !
Since the 1st of September, Joan Teixidor has started a six months training in our lab. He is a former master student in microengineering from EPFL Lausanne. During his master project, done in Stanford, he built up a microfluidics system to study the mechanobiology of stem cells under uniaxial stretching. If you want to meet him, he is installed in room 120 and his adress is teixidor (at) unistra (dot) fr.
Departure of Shaojun Wang
Shaojun Wang has left Strasbourg after more than 4 years in our team, for a postdoctoral position in the group of Pr Gomez Rivas at DIFFER in Eindhoven. We wish him and his family all the best for the future !
