Plasticité sensorimotrice multimodale : vision, neurophysiologie et comportement

Matthieu P Vanni

  • Montréal, Canada
  • Biological sciences

Le projet porte sur l’étude de la plasticité sensorimotrice multimodale et de la réorganisation des circuits neuronaux à la suite d’une perte de vision (cécité) ou de lésions cérébrales (notamment de type AVC). L’objectif est de comprendre comment les réseaux visuels, tactiles et moteurs s’adaptent à ces perturbations, et comment ces mécanismes soutiennent la compensation fonctionnelle, la récupération et l’intégration sensorimotrice. Les travaux combinent neurophysiologie in vivo et comportement, à l’aide de modèles murins, en utilisant des approches de pointe telles que l’imagerie calcique m

PhD-Optimization of Micropillar Microfabrication Process for Fan-Out Wafer Level Packaging

Université de Sherbrooke · Interdisciplinary Institute for Technological Innovation (3IT)

  • Sherbrooke, Canada
  • Engineering

Context: Advanced packaging technologies are essential for the evolution of microelectronics, enhancing performance through heterogeneous integration. Traditional methods struggle to meet the demands of high-performance computing, AI, aerospace, and defense. With the growing demand for multi-chip heterogenous integration using advanced FOWLP, there is significant interest in reducing the die-to-wafer interconnect pitch, as a smaller pitch enables simpler, more efficient circuits, resulting in lower power consumption and reduced design complexity. However, reducing the bump size to such a pitch

Adaptive deep learning for the prediction of laser-induced colours on evolving printable substrates

Université Jean Monnet · Laboratoire Hubert Curien

  • Saint Etienne, France
  • Physics

Context: Laser-induced colouring has become a key technology for producing visual security features on high-value documents and products. By locally and precisely tuning the optical properties of a substrate through carefully controlled laser parameters, it is possible to generate a wide range of colours in a contactless, flexible and cost-efficient manner, and even to multiplex several images that can be revealed independently under different observation conditions (e.g. transmission versus reflection). Scaling up the technology requires to guarantee perfect reproducibility over time. However
