Denis JANKOVIC completed his thesis at the IPCMS in the DON / Quantum Theoretical Dynamics of Nano-objects (DYNO) team, under the supervision of Paul-Antoine HERVIEUX.
His thesis work focuses on :
« Hyperfine interactions in organic lanthanide complexes for quantum information processing »
The i-PhD competition aims to attract doctoral students and young PhDs to the creation of start-ups, and to support the best research work.
Congratulations to Nicolas! Winner in the Materials, Mechanics and Industrial Processes theme with the Lumensium project, led by Laurent Douce, one of 177 winning projects.
This project involves the development of a new crystalline material capable of detecting and discriminating between Neutron and Gamma-type ionizing radiation, whatever its energy. In addition to being more efficient than its competitors, this new material offers an alternative to current detectors based on the use of lithium-6 and helium-3, two atomic isotopes whose supply is difficult and controlled due to their scarcity. This material is also much more environmentally friendly: it is non-toxic, non-flammable, can be recycled and its synthesis follows the principles of green chemistry
During the Journées “Nano-Est held at the Institut Charles Sadron on September 10 and 11, 2024, Antonio (a former IPCMS/DCMI PhD student) was awarded the C’Nano 2023 thesis prize, for his work entitled: “Couches minces de vanadate de fer multifonctionnelles pour la spintronique” (Multifunctional iron vanadate thin films for spintronics).
Antonio PENA CORREDOR and his PhD director Christophe LEFEVRE
This award recognizes “his original and significative research contributions in inorganic chemistry bridging photochemistry, materials science, optoelectronics and bio-medicine.”
The prize is awarded yearly to one inorganic chemist under 40 years old. The winner is also invited to delivery a plenary lecture during the annual congress (http://inorg2023.chm.unipg.it).
Steve-Dave Wansi Wendji, a graduate PhD student at IPCMS under the supervision of Carlo Massobrio and Guido Ori, was recently awarded the competitive Graduate Student Award (GSA) in recognition of his outstanding work entitled “First-principles and machine-learned potential molecular dynamics of GeSe2 liquid and glass” as a contribution talk to the E-MRS 2022 Fall Meeting (Symposium C: “From predictive modelling to machine learning as versatile tools for materials design”, www.european-mrs.com/meetings/2022-fall-meeting).
