LNCMI Toulouse.

Published on Dec 3, 2018.

 What is your actual position

I am in charge of the Scientific Infrastructure team at LNCMI Toulouse, which consist of 4 engineers and technicians.

  Where do you come from ?

I did most of my studies in Grenoble : I first obtained an engineering degree before doing my thesis in spintronics in the laboratory Spintec (SPINtronique et TEchnologie des Composants).

 What is your professional background

Before working at LNCMI, I worked on the physical characterization of organic electronic devices and  on the X-ray characterization of 3rd generation solar cells.

  What do you like about your job / lab / EMFL

Meeting people from very different scientific backgrounds and cultures. Before a user arrives it is important to understand his/her scientific needs in order to prepare his/her experiment. During the experiment, often changes are necessary to deal with the pressure of an experiment in the very short time available. I find this both very interesting and challenging.

  What are your current activities ?

There are two main components of my work :

First, the administrative user support : I am responsible for the scheduling and the organisation of the users’ stay. I also participate in the development of the EMFL website, the Selcom portal and user portal. I am in charge of the development of the Data Management Plan in the framework of the H2020 project.

On the scientific level : with my team we are responsible for the development and exploitation of optical experiments, magnetization, NMR, and contactless resistivity measurements.

I am particularly involved in NMR and contactless resistivity for which I am local contact, but I can also assist users for more traditional measurements such as AC resistivity or some more exotic one such as calorimetry measurements.

  What are your perspectives ?

In the future, I would like to further develop NMR measurements to enable all the power of this technique to be used in pulsed fields, and also to provide improved RF techniques to better serve our user community.
