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": 70777, "title": "Special Seminar - Directed evolution of RNA for self-replication", "slug": "special-seminar-directed-evolution-of-rna-for-self", "event_url": "https://memento.epfl.ch/event/special-seminar-directed-evolution-of-rna-for-self", "visual_url": "https://memento.epfl.ch/image/32378/200x112.jpg", "visual_large_url": "https://memento.epfl.ch/image/32378/720x405.jpg", "visual_maxsize_url": "https://memento.epfl.ch/image/32378/max-size.jpg", "lang": "en", "start_date": "2026-05-29", "end_date": "2026-05-29", "start_time": "10:30:00", "end_time": "11:30:00", "description": "<strong>Special Seminar</strong>\r\n<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-98cefd8 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\">\r\n<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\"><br>\r\nHow did life begin from chemistry? One leading idea is that RNA played a central role because it can act both as genetic material and as a catalyst. A major challenge has been that known RNA polymerase ribozymes, the catalysts of RNA copying, are large and complex, making them difficult to copy and unlikely to arise from prebiotic RNA sequence pools.<br>\r\n<br>\r\nIn this seminar, Edoardo Gianni will present QT45, a compact 45-nucleotide RNA polymerase ribozyme discovered from random RNA sequence pools. QT45 can catalyse the two essential reactions required for RNA self-replication: the synthesis of itself and the synthesis of its complementary strand. This work suggests that RNA-copying activity may be more common in sequence space than previously thought. It also brings us closer to understanding how self-replicating molecular systems could emerge in nature and be reconstructed in the laboratory.<br>\r\n<br>\r\nPlease join us for a fascinating seminar at the interface of origin-of-life chemistry, RNA biology, and synthetic molecular systems.<br>\r\n<br>\r\nLet me know if you would like to meet Edo during the day.</div>\r\n</div>\r\n\r\n<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-e552a16 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\">\r\n<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\"> </div>\r\n</div>", "image_description": "", "creation_date": "2026-01-06T13:09:20", "last_modification_date": "2026-05-18T09:02:55", "link_label": "", "link_url": "", "canceled": "False", "cancel_reason": "", "place_and_room": "SV 1717", "url_place_and_room": "https://plan.epfl.ch/?room==SV%201717", "url_online_room": "https://epfl.zoom.us/j/64709337579", "spoken_languages": [ "https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/spoken_languages/2/?format=api" ], "speaker": "<strong>Edoardo Gianni</strong> Investigator Scientist, MRC Laboratory of Molecular Biology, Cambridge, UK", "organizer": "Juan Manuel García-Arcos, PhD, Group Leader, Ambizione Fellow EPFL SV ISREC UPGON", "contact": "Lisa Smith, ISREC Administrative Assistant", "is_internal": "True", "theme": "", "vulgarization": { "id": 2, "fr_label": "Public averti", "en_label": "Informed public" }, "registration": { "id": 3, "fr_label": "Entrée libre", "en_label": "Free" }, "keywords": "Chemistry, Engineering", "file": null, "icalendar_url": "https://memento.epfl.ch/event/export/119181/", "category": { "id": 1, "code": "CONF", "fr_label": "Conférences - Séminaires", "en_label": "Conferences - Seminars", "activated": true }, "academic_calendar_category": null, "domains": [], "mementos": [ "https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/mementos/1/?format=api", "https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/mementos/5/?format=api", "https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/mementos/8/?format=api", "https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/mementos/9/?format=api", "https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/mementos/26/?format=api", "https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/mementos/6/?format=api" ] }, { "id": 71707, "title": "QSE Center Spring Assembly", "slug": "qse-center-spring-assembly", "event_url": "https://memento.epfl.ch/event/qse-center-spring-assembly", "visual_url": "https://memento.epfl.ch/image/33033/200x112.jpg", "visual_large_url": "https://memento.epfl.ch/image/33033/720x405.jpg", "visual_maxsize_url": "https://memento.epfl.ch/image/33033/max-size.jpg", "lang": "en", "start_date": "2026-05-29", "end_date": "2026-05-29", "start_time": "14:00:00", "end_time": "16:00:00", "description": "<p>The QSE Center Spring Assembly will take place on Friday May 29, 2026, from 14h-16h in CM 1 105.

This talk explores how music-driven conversational systems can bridge the gap between algorithmic recommendation and psychological intervention. The journey begins with establishing a foundation of trust through user-centric exploration. Using conversational music recommenders as a case study, I will discuss how critiquing strategies—such as progressive and cascading suggestions—shape user perceptions of helpfulness and serendipity. However, because trust is personal, I demonstrate how individual traits, including personality and trust propensity, dictate whether a user thrives under system-led or user-led initiatives.<br>\r\nBuilding on this rapport, the talk examines how these interfaces transition from suggesting songs to fostering psychological well-being. I will illustrate how music acts as a catalyst for self-awareness, using agents to guide users through emotional resonance and self-reflection. Furthermore, I will share findings on the role of generative AI in music-based reminiscence for older adults, where adaptive dialogue helps overcome cognitive barriers to memory recall. Collectively, these studies provide a roadmap for designing AI that moves beyond the playlist, transforming music-based chatbots into sustained partners for emotional and psychological health.<br>\r\n<br>\r\n<strong>Bio</strong><br>\r\nProfessor Li Chen is currently a Full Professor and Associate Head (Research) in the Department of Computer Science at Hong Kong Baptist University (HKBU).
