Ten young researchers, most of them from École Polytechnique’s laboratories, presented their thesis topics at this event organized at École polytechnique by the Institut Polytechnique de Paris, of which École polytechnique is a founding member. Marie Sigallon and Elie Kadoche have been selected to represent IP Paris at the national semi-final to be held in April 2024.
Every year, the CNRS medals are awarded to researchers and staff who have made an outstanding contribution to the institution's dynamism and reputation.
A team from the Optics and Biosciences Laboratory (LOB*) has obtained proof-of-principle for the classification of kidney stones using multi-photon microscopy combined with polarimetry. This optical method, which has been published in the journal ACS Photonics, could open up new prospects for biomineral analysis and improved patient management.A team from the Optics and Biosciences Laboratory (LOB*) has obtained proof-of-principle for the classification of kidney stones using multi-photon microscopy combined with polarimetry.
