PhD - Ultrafast laser interaction for chemical and topological functionalization of surfaces
Start: January 2024
Application deadline: 30th September 2023
Location: Split time between the Laboratoire Hubert Curien (Université Jean Monnet - UJM, St-Etienne), and the Laboratoire Georges Friedel (École des Mines de Saint-Étienne), with regular mobilities at the University of Ottawa's Photonics Research Centre.
Interested candidates should send a CV and a cover letter to both:
- Florent Bourquard, Associate Professor florent.bourquard @ univ-st-etienne.fr
- Florence Garrelie, Full Professor florence.garrelie @ univ-st-etienne.fr
The goal of this work is to exploit ultrafast laser-matter interaction to generate new surface functionalization by not only creating topographical texturation but also by modifying and controlling the chemical state of the irradiated substrate, in particular oxidation processes and stoichiometry modifications in the case of alloys.
