Photonic and Electronic Sensors For Environment and Health IDIL University of Montpellier

Overview

The Photonic and Electronic Sensors For Environment and Health program from University of Montpellier aims to train students through and for research, with a view to pursuing a doctorate, notably through funding from the IDIL program. Through this program, we want to train students with advanced knowledge in photonics and sensors, which can easily address applications in the environment and health thanks to the transdisciplinarity of the IDIL program.

Sensors are omnipresent in our modern world. To give just a few examples: in the environment, they aim to detect and quantify the presence of pollutants in water or the atmosphere; in medicine, they allow 2D or even 3D imaging of the eye, arteries, or the early diagnosis of diseases. 

The most recent and efficient sensors are for the most part based on electronic or optical/photonic components without us even knowing it. In this context of an ever increasing and more demanding demand, the Master IDIL "Photonic & Electronic Sensors for Environment and Health" aims to train highly qualified personnel in the field of electronic and photonic sensors, with an orientation towards applications in environment and health, based on long stays in research laboratories. Graduates may then choose to complete their training in order to become researchers in the public or private sectors, responsible for the development of new systems that open up the field of possibilities for the future.

The training is backed by the Institute of Electronics and Systems, a research laboratory of international scope in the field of sensors and photonics. Under the supervision of renowned researchers, you will learn to master state-of-the-art experimental techniques that will enable you to design and manufacture lasers, sensors, detectors and other key components using state-of-the-art technological equipment, including the application of components, particularly in the fields of the environment and health. 

Examples of teaching units:

• Sensors & Associated systems
• Lasers & Photodiodes
• Technology & Design tools for sensors
• Photonics Instrumentation & Metrology
