PSRS Research Day at Hubert Curien Laboratory
Testimony: Huynh Duc LE, student of the first cohort 2020-2022
First of all, I would like to thank the coordinators for giving me such a great opportunity to be a part of the PSRS program. Speaking for myself, my full name is Huynh Duc LE, and from Vietnam. I attained a bachelor of engineering in Engineering Physics at an engineering Vietnamese university and then worked as an optical engineer within a year. This year, I desire to pursue a master's degree in photonics in order to deepen into the science and technology of light which has changed the world faster, smarter, safer, and more sustainably in the 21st century. I chose the PSRS master program because of its broad spectrum of optics and photonics from basic science and theory to specialization phases. The coursework gives students various directions in which they are able to seek a job in either industry or academia. Furthermore, the PSRS consortium includes good European universities, associated industrial and academic partners having high-quality education, distinguished professors, research facilities, and internship opportunities. I strongly believe that I will broaden and apply my knowledge of photonics as well as soft skills such as interpersonal skills, multidisciplinary and multicultural teamwork after the 2-year PSRS program in different European countries. I am really looking forward to starting my PSRS journey.
Testimony: Nathalia Della Giustina Ballmann, student of the first cohort 2020-2022
My name is Nathalia, I come from a small town in southern Brazil and I will be part of the first PSRS cohort starting this September.
I have a bachelor degree in Electronics Engineering from the Federal University of Santa Catarina (UFSC), and I also studied for one year at the National Polytechnic Institute of Toulouse as part of an exchange program. My main focus during my undergraduate studies were Analog Integrated Circuits. I worked for two years on the research of integrated DC-DC converters and wrote my final studies project on the subject.
By the end of my degree, I started my job in embedded systems development at CERTI Foundation. For the most part of this 3-year period, I was working on FPGA design for avionics, but I also spent a few months developing embedded software.
I decided to pursue further education abroad and my research has led me to the PSRS program. Photonics is something that had me interested in my previous studies but that I did not explore it in more depth. This is a trending topic that has multiple applications yet to be discovered. Given my background in electronics and my interest in semiconductor engineering, I chose the specialization in Micro-nano-technological Devices. Additionally, I found it very interesting that the curriculum has various courses on programming. My professional experience has shown me that these are valuable skills.
I am looking forward to studying and getting to know more of France, Finland and Italy. I hope we can get the most out of this great opportunity.
