Modeling of Photonic-Hydrodynamic Coupling for Ultrafast Laser Nanostructuring

The Hubert Curien laboratory is a joint research unit (UMR 5516) of the Jean Monnet University, Saint-Etienne,  the  National  Research  Center  ”CNRS”  and  the  Institut  d’Optique  Graduate  School. It is composed of about 240 staff which makes the lab the most important research structure of Saint- Etienne. The research activities are organized according to two scientific departments: Optics, photonics and surfaces and Computer Science, Security, Image. The research activity is structured into scientific projects within 6 main teams: Micro/Nano structuring, Materials for Optics and Photonics in Extreme Radiative Environments, Laser-matter Interaction,  Image Science & computer vision,  Data Intelligence and Secure Embedded Systems & Hardware Architectures.

The ideal candidate should have a strong interest in numerical computing and multi-physics modeling. A solid understanding of nonlinear physics is essential, along with the ability to work rigorously on fundamental aspects of complex systems. The candidate should also be autonomous and adaptable, capable of collaborating effectively with theoretical physicists, experimentalists, and computational scientists specializing in AI within the labHC team.
