Nicolas Dalloz: C’Nano PhD thesis award

The CNRS French national competency Cluster in Nanoscience, C’Nano, is a support and research unit serving the French scientific community in nanoscience. For the fifth year last March, it has organized its interdisciplinary "Nanoscience Congress" during which the best doctoral works in Nanoscience and Nanotechnologies carried out at a French University or "Grande Ecole" were awarded.

Nicolas Dalloz was the recipient of this year's prize in the applied research category. His thesis, conducted under the supervision of Nathalie Destouches from our Functional Materials & Surfaces team and Mathieu Hébert from our Image Science & Computer Vision team, focused on "Printed image multiplexing by laser processing and its application to security and identity documents". Nicolas’ work has led to the setup of the LAMCID joint lab between the company HID Citizen Identity and the Hubert Curien Laboratory, which was inaugurated last year. Nicolas is also co-inventor of three patents and co-author of several articles in the top journals in material and color science. Since obtaining his PhD, he has been working at HID alongside Nipun Sharma, another ex-member of our lab.

Congratulations Nicolas!
