Nicolas Fabre awarded with international mobilitiy fellowship of Paris-Saclay University

He is only on the middle of PhD second year but Nicolas Fabre was awarded with the Paris-Saclay University international mobility grant allowing young researchers to persue their scientific work during several weeks abroad. This rich scientific and human experience offers a unique opportunity to discover the research in an other country, to create or strengthen a collaboration and to get access to scientific setups the students do not have in their own laboratory.

Nicolas Fabre project is about the study of associations of negative photochromic compounds and fluorochromic ones by transient absorption and the participation to the synthesis of new negative photochromic compounds. He will be hosted by Pr. Jiro Abe in Aoyama Gakuin University. The scientific links between PPSM and Pr. Abe team are strong and contribute to the NanoSynergetics international research project, which aims to developp photoactive materials showing synergy between its components in nanoscopic scale.

This six weeks project is a part of his PhD work, that is about the synthesis and study of photoswitchable fluorescent nanosystems with giant amplification. This PhD project is supervised by Rémi Métivier and is included in the research theme B Photo- and/or electro-switchable molecular systems of PPSM.
