Happy to share a good lunch with the members of the SPG group! Sunny day in Lorient (as usual)! And a very delicate dessert  Guess what the dress code was for lunch  8-O

Extremely grateful to have been able to attend two research seminars by Melissa and Jaime Grunlan of Texas A&M. A compilation of innovative and super high quality results, all presented with exceptional speaking skills. It is always a great pleasure to welcome them to our group.

It is with great pleasure that we welcome Dr Abhishek Kumar as a post-doc researcher in our group to manage and carry out research work in the frame of 2 Research Projects related to the development of Quantum Resistive Sensors. Abhishek Kumar is a postdoctoral researcher at Université Bretagne Sud, France. He is working in the domain [...]

The 2022 International Symposium on Polymer Nanocomposites (ISPN2022) is organized by the French scientific network GDR PolyNano 2 and the IRDL institute (Institut de Recherche Dupuy de Lôme), and under the hospices of GFP. The conference will be held in Lorient, a thrilling town located on the South coast of Brittany, France. Given its location and history, Lorient displays a rich maritime heritage, where naval industry, science and [...]

We’re glad to welcome Dr. Abhishek Kumar at our Research group Seminar! He obtained his Ph.D. at Institute Pascal, Clermont Auvergne University, on the Development, characterization and experimental validation of metallophthalocyanines based microsensors devoted to monocyclic aromatic hydrocarbons monitoring in air, under the supervision of  Dr. Christelle Varenne and Dr. Jerome Brunet. He’s now a post-doc Researcher [...]

1. Project The research engineer position is part of the HIT (Handicap Innovation Territories) program and aims to create a sensing platform combining two types of polymer nanocomposites sensors : piezo-resistive sensors to map the distribution of pressure on the skin and chemo-resistive sensors to measure the emission of volatile biomarkers from wounds. Our goal [...]
