🇦🇺 Visit from Giuseppe Tettamanzi, professor at the University of Adelaide
IMT Atlantique welcomed Prof. Giuseppe Tettamanzi, from the University of Adelaide in Australia, to its Brest and Nantes campuses. A specialist in quantum physics and solid state devices, he is co-supervising a thesis with Vincent Castel, a research-professor and Christian Person, director of Lab-STICC (UMR CNRS 6285), as part of a framework agreement. Leader of the Quantum and Nano-Technology Group, his research focuses on modeling and experimenting with physical phenomena in the context of quantum devices, as well as materials that exploit superconductivity.
This visit follows that made by IMT Atlantique to Adelaide at the end of 2023, with the aim of strengthening relations and collaborations between the institution and Australia. “In modern science, it's easy to close in on yourself and believe that what you’re doing is the best work," explains Prof. Giuseppe Tettamanzi. "But a researcher must, as his title suggests, constantly search, explore and confront others. That's why it's really important to keep developing our links. It allows us to learn new things, to go further: International collaboration is essential in research ».
A vision shared by Gilles Coppin, faculty member of the Computer Science department and initiator of relations between IMT Atlantique and Australia: "It is very important for us to continue to develop links with the University of Adelaide, a world-class strategic partner which is celebrating its 150th anniversary this year. Today, research is conceived on an international scale, and this is essential if we want to continue to be perceived as a technological university".
A number of presentations were given on the institution's work and collaborations, as well as discussions on common interests with Lab-STICC and demonstrations of the institution's various platforms (spintronics, radar, Cryostat, etc.). After a visit to the Lab-STICC Université de Bretagne Occidentale site, Prof. Giuseppe Tettamanzi travelled to the Nantes campus for discussions on the research of the Subatech laboratory and a presentation of the Xemis medical scanner at the CHU de Nantes.
Following the visit, a number of areas of cross-fertilization and potential scientific collaboration were identified, including ultra-sensitive sensors, signal processing methods in the context of quantum coding, materials deposition and characterization technologies, and particle detection.
