The PhD will be supervised / co-supervised by Dr Céline FIORINI-DEBUISSCHERT (CEA Research Director), and Dr Nicolas Fabre who recently joined the CEA/SPEC Nanophotonics group as a permanent scientist. Their expertise ranges from optics/photonics to molecular self-assembly/functional 2D materials and chemical physics/ physical chemistry. These shared skills will be very useful in the framework of the project, which will also benefit from the participation of Prof. David Kreher (ILV/SORG) for the synthesis of the molecules.

The PhD will take place within the CEA/SPEC Nanophotonics group which has carried out different experimental developments in local probe microscopy (AFM, STM) combined with light excitation/optical spectroscopy.
