Prix Dylan Cattiaux

The Optomechanics & Nanomechanics thesis award “Dylan Cattiaux” is a prize introduced by the GdR MecaQ, in 2021. This annual award aims at rewarding the outstanding thesis work from a young researcher who did graduate her/his PhD in a France-based research group, in one of the topics covered by the GdR. The award consists of publishing the thesis manuscript of the awardee in a periodic volume at EDP Sciences, plus a substantial personal prize money. The prize is officially supported by the French Physical Society and the French Optical Society.

For the 2022 edition, the Jury of the thesis prize "Dylan Cattiaux" is glad to award Samantha Sbarra for her works on the analysis of individual nanodroplets and nanoparticles through a semiconductor optomechanical sensor. Samantha will receive the "Dylan Cattiaux" prize during a ceremony at the GDR MecaQ meeting in Bordeaux on Thursday 6th, October.
