New ICFOnians
New researchers have joined ICFO.
June 30, 2010
One Visiting Professor, Dr. Javier García de Abajo; one Postdoctoral Researcher, Dr. Le Xuan Loc; one PhD Student, Tobias Grass; one Visiting PhD Student, Eleonora Nagali; one MSc Student, Pierre Bondareff; and two Students, Sabine Auer and Anaïs Soufadjian have joined ICFO.
With a permanent position at CSIC Institute of Optics in Madrid, Prof. Javier García de Abajo is a visiting professor at ICFO, associated to the research groups “Molecular NanoPhotonics” and “Plasmon nano-optics”. He provides theoretical insight and inspiration to the NanoPhotonics research and is involved in several collaboration projects between ICFO, the CSIC Institute of Optics in Madrid and other partners.
Dr. Le Xuan Loc is joining ICFO after completing his PhD in Physics at ENS Cachan & Ecole Centrale Paris. Dr. Loc will work as a postdoc on the CONSOLIDER project “Broad-band fs Coherent Control of local NanoAntenna Fields”, led by Prof. Niek van Hulst. Spatio-temporal control of the optical near field will be monitored by non-linear response and local photon emitters.
Tobias Grass carried out his Diploma in Berlin and starts as a PhD student in the QOT group led by Prof. Maciej Lewenstein, supported by the ERC grant QUAGATUA. He will work on various aspects of cold atoms in artificial gauge fields.
Eleonora Nagali is currently PhD student at the Universita di Roma. She has come to ICFO do an experiment whose aim is to test a new way to detect the dimensionality and quantumness of a quantum system. This is a common research project of the ICFO groups led by Prof. Juan Torres and Prof. Antonio Acin.
Pierre Bondareff is joining ICFO as a Master-student in Optical Sciences from the University 11 of Paris, Orsay, France. Pierre joins the group led by Prof. Niek van Hulst to work on the probing of the local photonic mode in 3D photonic structures, both ordered and disordered. To this end he will monitor the luminescence lifetime of nanoscale emitters as a function of their position inside the 3D photonic structures.
Sabine Auer is joining ICFO as a Physics student from the Technical University of Ilmenau, Germany, for a 3 months exchange project. She joins the group led by Prof. Niek van Hulst to work on near field optical microscopy exploiting nanoantennas. Combining “probe scanning force microscopy” and “sample scanning confocal microscopy” she will participate in the research on nanometric control of emitter-antenna interaction, towards nanoscale imaging.
Anaïs Soufadjian is a student in Electronic Engineering at the Ecole Nationale Supérieure d’Ingénieur de Caen in France. She will be working on ultrathin metal film based transparent electrodes, in particular the optimization of their optical properties using multilayer geometries.
