Particular interest is attracted by resonant metasurfaces, where optical modes provide extreme confinement of light in the nanostructures volume and subsequent enhancement of light-matter interaction. This aspect is essential to boost the efficiency of various phenomena, from optical nonlinearities (e.g., multiphoton interaction like in second-harmonic generation) to reconfiguration mechanisms (i.e., dynamic modulation of the refractive index). In this talk I will survey techniques of controlling light at the nanoscale, focusing on nonlinear and reconfiguration processes, what they offer and what are their limitations.<br>\r\n<br>\r\n<strong><u>You don't know POBs?</u></strong><br>\r\nPOBs (Pizza-Optics-Beer) are monthly seminars organized by the student association EPFL Photonics Chapter.<br>\r\nA PhD or a postdoc gives a 20-minutes presentation about his/her research in photonics.

Their atomically thin nature gives rise to distinctive electronic and optical properties, while simultaneously enabling them to function as highly sensitive, readily integrable probes of their local environment. Advanced optical techniques, such as super-resolution microscopy, have opened new opportunities to interrogate these materials at the nanoscale, providing optical access to individual defect behaviors, exciton diffusion and recombination dynamics, and charge transport pathways. Such approaches not only deepen our understanding of intrinsic material behavior but also position 2D systems as powerful sensors capable of resolving local dielectric variations, electric and magnetic fields, and other environmental perturbations.<br>\r\nCentral to this work is hexagonal boron nitride (hBN), a transparent, wide bandgap semiconductor that serves as a host for optically active defects. These defects function as reaction centers, single-photon emitters, and spatially resolved nanoscale sensors that can be readily integrated into electronic and photonic architectures. Owing to its optical transparency, chemical stability, and compatibility with diverse material platforms, hBN provides an exceptional foundation for optical sensing. Building upon this foundation, we explore material properties and present new methods for spatially resolved in situ optical imaging with hBN to advance dynamic, wide-field optical sensing.<br>\r\nWe investigate a previously reported class of emitters that arise from interactions between native hBN and organic solvents. These emitters are believed to originate from defect sites that bind transiently to solvent molecules. To study their behavior, we develop a platform for imaging the dynamics of these transient emitters while varying the electrochemical potential and applying electric fields with controlled orientations. By tracking the spectra of individual emitters, we enable multiplexed measurements that allow spatially resolved electrochemical imaging. Through systematic analysis, we rule out modulation mechanisms based on direct electric field effects or charge transfer. Instead, we identify a mechanism driven by changes in H⁺ concentration, which is modulated during the oxidation of trace water present in the solvent. This finding opens the possibility of using this platform for sensitive detection of H⁺ and trace water in methanol fuel cells, where such species critically influence operational efficiency.<br>\r\nIn the final part of the thesis, we focus on a well-characterized spin defect in hBN, the negatively charged boron vacancy, and explore strategies to enhance its photoluminescence (PL) through heterostructure engineering that facilitates energy and exciton transfer. We demonstrate the coupled structure’s improved utility in optical magnetometry compared to the defect by itself and discuss how improvements in PL could advance the development of wide-field optically detected magnetic resonance (ODMR) imaging using this spin defect. Using a defect in hBN would leverage 2D materials’ exceptional sensing capabilities and planar integrability.<br>\r\nOverall, this thesis aims to highlight the strengths of integrating 2D materials with optical sensing and to develop transferable techniques for introducing controlled stimuli, such as electrochemical potentials, electric fields, or electromagnetic waves, with high fidelity and minimal artifacts. These advances not only demonstrate the potential of hBN as a versatile sensing platform but also establish methodologies applicable to a wide range of low-dimensional material systems.<br>\r\n<br>\r\nFor zoom:<br>\r\n Meeting ID: 611 3428 2068 Passcode: 952027</p>", "image_description": "", "creation_date": "2026-05-13T16:07:39", "last_modification_date": "2026-05-13T16:07:39", "link_label": "", "link_url": "", "canceled": "False", "cancel_reason": "", "place_and_room": "ELA 1", "url_place_and_room": "https://plan.epfl.ch/?room==ELA%201", "url_online_room": "https://epfl.zoom.us/j/61134282068?pwd=zurg0qXVsUx4ln0hxCcrvjDCiHhwSx.1", "spoken_languages": [ "https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/spoken_languages/2/?format=api" ], "speaker": "Eveline Mayner\r\n\r\nAleksandra Radenovic", "organizer": "Eveline Mayner", "contact": "[email protected]", "is_internal": "False", "theme": "", "vulgarization": { "id": 1, "fr_label": "Tout public", "en_label": "General public" }, "registration": { "id": 3, "fr_label": "Entrée libre", "en_label": "Free" }, "keywords": "Public Defense", "file": null, "icalendar_url": "https://memento.epfl.ch/event/export/120775/", "category": { "id": 4, "code": "DIVERS", "fr_label": "Autres types d’événement", "en_label": "Miscellaneous", "activated": true }, "academic_calendar_category": null, "domains": [], "mementos": [ "https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/mementos/8/?format=api" ] }, { "id": 71699, "title": "Lausanne Scaleup Cruise 2026", "slug": "lausanne-scaleup-cruise-2026-2", "event_url": "https://memento.epfl.ch/event/lausanne-scaleup-cruise-2026-2", "visual_url": "https://memento.epfl.ch/image/33027/200x112.jpg", "visual_large_url": "https://memento.epfl.ch/image/33027/720x405.jpg", "visual_maxsize_url": "https://memento.epfl.ch/image/33027/max-size.jpg", "lang": "en", "start_date": "2026-06-10", "end_date": "2026-06-10", "start_time": "19:00:00", "end_time": "22:30:00", "description": "<p>The <a href=\"https://luma.com/2bhtvuhp\">2026 Romandie Scaleup Cruise</a> will bring the <a href=\"https://www.swisspreneur.org/\">Swisspreneur</a> community together on <strong>June 10</strong> for an evening dedicated to meaningful conversations, high‑value connections and the vibrant energy of the Romandie startup ecosystem.<br>\r\n<br>\r\n<strong>For Whom</strong><br>\r\nThis edition is curated for established founders, experienced entrepreneurs, active investors and ecosystem leaders shaping Switzerland’s innovation landscape.<br>\r\n<br>\r\n<strong>Event Highlights</strong>\r\n</p><ul>\r\n\t<li><strong>Warm‑up apéro</strong> at The Lacustre</li>\r\n\t<li><strong>Curated table rotations</strong> to spark deeper exchanges</li>\r\n\t<li><strong>Table Captains</strong> leading intimate, high‑quality discussions:\r\n\t<ul>\r\n\t\t<li>Patrick Thévoz (Flyability)</li>\r\n\t\t<li>Vincent Bieri (Nexthink)</li>\r\n\t\t<li>Michael Friedrich (Distalmotion)</li>\r\n\t</ul>\r\n\t</li>\r\n</ul>\r\n<strong>Details</strong><br>\r\n<br>\r\n<a href=\"https://luma.com/2bhtvuhp\">Full program and registration here</a><br>\r\n<strong>EPFL 20% code of disccount - </strong>EPFL20", "image_description": "", "creation_date": "2026-04-24T13:08:12", "last_modification_date": "2026-04-24T13:08:19", "link_label": "Register", "link_url": "https://luma.com/2bhtvuhp", "canceled": "False", "cancel_reason": "", "place_and_room": "", "url_place_and_room": "", "url_online_room": "", "spoken_languages": [ "https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/spoken_languages/2/?format=api" ], "speaker": "", "organizer": "Organized by Swisspreneur, and shared by the EPFL Startup Launchpad within its community.", "contact": "<a href=\"http://[email protected]\">Duda Branco</a> ", "is_internal": "False", "theme": "", "vulgarization": { "id": 1, "fr_label": "Tout public", "en_label": "General public" }, "registration": { "id": 3, "fr_label": "Entrée libre", "en_label": "Free" }, "keywords": "Networking;

Cette collection préserve des micro-organismes provenant de régions menacées telles que les Alpes et l'Arctique et compte déjà plus de 2000 spécimens.<br>\r\n<br>\r\nL’artiste a sélectionné des levures, bactéries et champignons souvent vieux de 12’000 ans, qu’elle a cultivés dans son propre studio et photographiés tous les deux jours. Les différents micro-organismes sont déposés sur un fond d’agar pour qu’ils puissent se développer. Leur évolution est rapide et hasardeuse. La documentation est méthodique : plus de 13'300 photographies ont été prises représentant des instantanés de matière vivante.<br>\r\n<br>\r\nDeux séries de photographies ont été produites : l’une se concentre sur des monocultures, dans lesquelles une souche microbienne sélectionnée occupe une boîte de Pétri et se propage largement. En adaptant les méthodes d'inoculation et les milieux de culture, différentes impulsions sont déclenchées. La deuxième série fait cohabiter plusieurs organismes différents. La lutte pour les nutriments dans le milieu de culture ainsi que les symbioses qui peuvent se développer entre les microbes sont documentées. La pratique d’atelier se mêle à la pratique de laboratoire.<br>\r\n<br>\r\n<strong>L’exposition</strong><br>\r\n<br>\r\nL’exposition<em> Unearthed</em> présente 18 photographies de plusieurs micro-organismes différents évoluant dans les boîtes circulaires qui les abritent. Filaments, textures, entrelacs, pointillés, cercles produisent des configurations abstraites spectaculaires. Les couleurs enchantent et vivifient les formes en turbulente circulation et en constante métamorphose. Les photographies pointent le sublime de l’extraordinaire variété des cellules : la naissance du vivant.<br>\r\nLes photographies de Rahel Oberhummer révèlent deux nécessités indissociables : d’une part celle de comprendre le vivant même dans ses organismes les plus simples et d’autre part de le préserver. Parallèlement, il s’agit de créer des images qui manifestent la qualité visuelle des formes et des couleurs de ces micro-organismes. Notre rapport à la nature exige l’admiration de sa beauté. Aujourd’hui, des artistes comme Rahel Oberhummer s’engagent dans une double mission : participer activement à des processus scientifiques et créer des images sensibles tout autant que savantes.<br>\r\n<br>\r\n<strong>Collaborations</strong><br>\r\n<br>\r\nSérie photographique réalisée en collaboration avec l’Institut fédéral de recherches sur la forêt, la neige et le paysage (WSL).

Elle a étudié aussi à la Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts, Copenhague, à la Hochschule für Kunst und Design de Lucerne et au Billy Blue College of Design à Sydney. Au début de l’année 2026, elle a obtenu une résidence de trois mois à Hanoï, au Vietnam, dans le cadre d’un séjour de recherche soutenu par Pro Helvetia et accueilli par l’espace Exutoire. Elle vit et travaille à Vevey.<br>\r\nLa relation entre les structures sociales humaines et les formes de vie non humaines est au cœur de son approche artistique. Rahel Oberhummer se concentre sur les interactions subtiles entre les humains et l'environnement, avec une attention soutenue pour les écosystèmes dont nous dépendons et que nous mettons pourtant en danger. Des questions se posent, que l'artiste explore à travers une recherche scientifique autant qu’artistique.<br>\r\n<br>\r\n<a href=\"https://www.raheloberhummer.ch/\"><strong>>>> Site web de l'artiste Rahel Oberhummer</strong></a><br>\r\n<br>\r\n<strong>Vernissage</strong> le jeudi 7 mai 2026 à 18 :30 <br>\r\n<strong>Exposition visible jusqu’au 11 octobre 2026<br>\r\nHall du RLC / entrée libre</strong><br>\r\n<br>\r\n<u>Image</u> :<em> </em>Dioszegia patagonica 001, Pochonia/Metacordyceps chlamydosporia 205, Pseudogymnoascus pannorum 511, Potato Dextrose Agar with sepia ink, 2022.</p>", "image_description": "", "creation_date": "2026-03-16T17:17:43", "last_modification_date": "2026-05-26T15:56:40", "link_label": "", "link_url": "", "canceled": "False", "cancel_reason": "", "place_and_room": "Hall du Rolex Learning Center", "url_place_and_room": "https://plan.epfl.ch/?room==RLC%20G1%2094.12", "url_online_room": "", "spoken_languages": [], "speaker": "<a href=\"https://www.raheloberhummer.ch/\">Rahel Oberhummer, artiste</a>", "organizer": "Pôle Culture EPFL", "contact": "<a href=\"mailto:[email protected]\">Véronique Mauron Layaz</a>", "is_internal": "False", "theme": "", "vulgarization": { "id": 1, "fr_label": "Tout public", "en_label": "General public" }, "registration": { "id": 3, "fr_label": "Entrée libre", "en_label": "Free" }, "keywords": "", "file": null, "icalendar_url": "https://memento.epfl.ch/event/export/120096/", "category": { "id": 5, "code": "EXPO", "fr_label": "Expositions", "en_label": "Exhibitions", "activated": true }, "academic_calendar_category": null, "domains": [], "mementos": [ "https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/mementos/22/?format=api", "https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/mementos/6/?format=api" ] }, { "id": 71389, "title": "Call for projects CROSS 2027", "slug": "call-for-projects-cross-2027", "event_url": "https://memento.epfl.ch/event/call-for-projects-cross-2027", "visual_url": "https://memento.epfl.ch/image/32738/200x112.jpg", "visual_large_url": "https://memento.epfl.ch/image/32738/720x405.jpg", "visual_maxsize_url": "https://memento.epfl.ch/image/32738/max-size.jpg", "lang": "en", "start_date": "2026-03-18", "end_date": "2026-06-15", "start_time": "00:00:00", "end_time": "23:59:00", "description": "<p>The 2027 edition of the CROSS program calls upon researchers at <strong>EPFL and the University of Lausanne to submit proposals for joint projects</strong> that bring the natural sciences and engineering together with the social sciences and humanities.<br>\r\n<br>\r\nThrough this annual call for projects, CROSS provides competitive grants to support new seed research endeavors that have the potential to grow into full–scale interdisciplinary research projects.<br>\r\n<br>\r\n<em><strong>The 2024 CROSS call is open to all topics.</strong></em><br>\r\n<br>\r\n<strong><em>—————————————————————————————</em></strong><br>\r\n<br>\r\n<strong>PROPOSALS:</strong><br>\r\n<br>\r\nProposals must come from joint UNIL-EPFL teams, which bring together specialists in the human and social sciences on the one hand, with specialists from life sciences, natural sciences or engineering on the other.
