A phd position is open at the Institut Lumière Matière (ILM), close to Lyon, in the field of modeling of the properties of nanoparticles in water. Nanoparticles immersed in water can be optically heated by hundredths of Kelvins on a picosecond time scale. This unique property opens the path to locally release heat in an aqueous environment, offering a host of opportunities for applications in npar merabia - Thèses hors de l'EDPIF
The phD offer is part of a national ANR project gathering theoreticians and experimentalists all experts in nanoscale thermal transport. This project tackles innovative nanoscale phonon concepts for the optimization of the conception of nano-devices for thermal management applications. At the limits of heat management, the performance of energy conversion devices are limited by heat transfer acrpar merabia - Thèses hors de l'EDPIF
