SUMMARY:Soutenance HDR de Tristan WAGNER (IRIG / IBS)
DESCRIPTION:Characterization of native enzymes to understand how anaerobic microbes impact biogeochemical cycles\nRésumé : \nMicrobes are actors of the biogeochemical cycles\, transforming gases\, minerals\, and biological matter through enzymatic reaction chains. Among them\, anaerobic archaea\, namely methanogens and methanotrophs\, play a key role in converting planetary carbon\, nitrogen\, and sulfur\, impacting the biosphere and providing green sustainable solutions for our modern society. The last fourteen years of my career were devoted to understanding the molecular basis of these microbial transformations\, such as methane production or degradation\, CO2 and carbon monoxide conversion to biofuels\, N2 fixation\, and sulfur cycling. Since these enzymes harbor O2-sensitive complicated metallocofactors\, most of my work relies on native protein purification from the microbes themselves under strict O2 exclusion. After a brief presentation of my career and PhD project\, the presented work summarizes my most renowned breakthrough regarding the elucidation of molecular tricks in carbon\, nitrogen\, and sulfur metabolisms in methane-generating microbes\, including their regulatory networks. Then\, the latest research led by my group is introduced with : (i) how methanogens munch on methylated substrates such as methanol and lignin-degradation products\, (ii) how an industrial bacterium turns waste gases into biofuels\, (iii) the study of a microbial consortia “that burn” methane and ethane without oxygen via a native approach. Finally\, I will present the features of my past group and my future laboratory. ​​ \nL’accès au campus EPN nécessite un avis de rendez-vous.

SUMMARY:Soline BEITONE (PhD Student - LMGP)
DESCRIPTION:Development and evaluation of a photocatalytic system to reduce and valorize CO2\nRésumé : \nThis work focuses on the development of a photocatalytic system for CO₂ reduction and valorization\, contributing to sustainable carbon conversion strategies. The study investigates Cu₂O nanowire (NW)-based photocatalyst\, selected for their visible-light activity\, abundance\, and low toxicity. \nA simple\, scalable\, and cost-effective fabrication strategy was developed to produce such photocatalyst. To enhance performance and stability\, the materials were further engineered through TiO₂ nanoparticle modification\, enabling the formation of p–n heterojunctions that improve charge separation\, stability and light utilization. \nThe resulting photocatalysts were evaluated for CO₂ conversion into value-added products and water depollution through dye degradation. \nFinally\, a life cycle perspective was incorporated to assess environmental impacts\, sustainability benefits\, and the scalability potential of these photocatalytic systems. \nShort Bio/CV \nI am a third-year PhD student with a background in materials science and chemistry. My research focuses on photocatalysis and materials development\, with an emphasis on green and sustainable approaches. \nI am part of the NABIOS team\, and my PhD project is integrated into DéfiCO₂\, a multidisciplinary initiative aimed at developing and evaluating technological solutions for carbon capture and utilization (CCU). \n_ \nContact : deborah.verger@grenoble-inp.fr

SUMMARY:Kirill NOURSKI (University of Iowa\, USA)
DESCRIPTION:What the insula hears and does : Insights from human intracranial electrophysiology\nRésumé : \nThe human insula is known to be involved in auditory processing\, though its detailed response properties remain elusive. Intracranial recordings in human neurosurgical patients provide a unique opportunity to characterize the functional properties of the human insula with high spatiotemporal resolution. Local field potential recordings reveal that posterior insula (InsP) is characterized by larger broadband gamma (30-150 Hz) responses to monosyllabic words compared to anterior insula (InsA). Both subdivisions of the insula generate evoked responses to novel sounds. Single neurons within InsP and\, to a lesser extent\, InsA\, respond to simple sounds in the absence of a behavioral context. InsP and InsA share similar res9ng state functional connectivity profiles with limbic structures. InsP is more closely linked to activity propagated from early auditory cortex\, while InsA is more tightly coupled with prefrontal\, anterior temporal regions and the amygdala. Clinical case studies identify language and music perception deficiencies associated with insula lesions. Finally\, single unit recordings during emergence from general anesthesia reveal a temporal dissociation between reactivation of limbic structures and the insula\, the laPer marking the transition to connected consciousness and the capacity to act on commands. Together\, these results begin to characterize the insula’s place in the auditory hierarchy\, with implications ranging from sensory processing to conscious awareness of our surroundings. \n_ \nContact : julien.bastin@univ-grenoble-alpes.fr \n  \n

SUMMARY:Alexandra COLIN (CEA-Irig/LPCV)
DESCRIPTION:Dynamics and Scaling of Competitive Actin Architectures\nRésumé : \n\nCells constantly experience environmental changes requiring a fast adaptation of their different actin structures. However\, the mechanisms governing the size and dynamics of these multiple actin structures remain unknown. Decoupling the various parameters that would provide a complete understanding of these mechanisms is very complicated in a cellular context. This is why we have developed a bottom-up approach to identify the key molecular mechanisms that determine the size and coexistence of multiple competing actin architectures. We used a reconstituted system consisting of purified proteins and substrates to localize actin polymerization in microwells\, enabling us to work with a limited number of components. With this system\, we reconstituted several dynamic actin architectures\, competing for a limited pool of protein\, over a period of multiple hours. This allowed us to gain key insights into physiological functions related to actin turnover. I will show how we used this system to study the limits of scaling in dynamic structures\, as well as the limits of coexistence in actin networks under resource-limited conditions. Finally\, I will show how we can recapitulate these results in a complementary cellular system\, in which we have demonstrated that an increase in spreading area leads to a decrease in overall turnover\, due to a predominance of structures with low turnover.​​​​​\n​\n\n\n\nLes séminaires et soutenances sont ouverts à tous\, notez toutefois que l’accès au campus EPN nécessite un avis de rendez-vous.

SUMMARY:Benjamin LENZ (IMPMC)
DESCRIPTION:Spectroscopic signatures of spin-polarons in quasi two-dimensional correlated materials\nRésumé : \nThe motion of a single hole in a two-dimensional antiferromagnet can lead to the formation of a low-energy quasiparticle\, a so-called spin-polaron\, which amounts to a bound state of the doped hole and a spin flip. In this talk\, I will first introduce the notion of spin-polarons and then discuss spectroscopic signatures of this quasiparticle at the example of two different material classes which both host quasi two-dimensional low-energy physics in their correlated electronic structure.\nIllustrated by the Na-doped oxychloride Ca2CuO2Cl2\, we will see how the spin-polaron gives rise to “kink” and “waterfall” features in the spectral function of hole-doped cuprates. Employing a numerical workflow comprising density functional theory and cluster dynamical mean-field theory\, we will discuss these features in comparison to measurements obtained from angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy. As a second example\, we will see that spin-polaron physics is also relevant in two prototypical iridates\, (Ba\,Sr)2IrO4\, which host an exotic spin-orbital entangled jeff=1/2 ground state. In particular\, the characteristic two-peak structure of their optical absorption and optical conductivity curves will be revisited and interpreted in the light of these coherent low-energy quasiparticles. \nB.

SUMMARY:Soutenance de Thèse de Giovanni OLIVETTI (CEA-Irig / Spintec)
DESCRIPTION:Angular Momentum Transfer Between Waveforms in Axisymmetric Geometries\nRésumé : \nThis thesis investigates the role of angular momentum transfer in the coupling between elastic and spin excitations in magneto-mechanical systems. \nIn axisymmetric geometries\, rotational invariance provides the natural framework for the conservation of total angular momentum[1]. In such a case\, this quantity unambiguously labels the eigenmodes of the system and constrains their coupling to an external excitation through well-defined selection rules[2]. The manuscript develops this physical picture from a general perspective based on Noether’s theorem\, it introduces spin and orbital angular momentum contributions for a generic vector field and proposes an analytical description of magneto-elastic coupling in axisymmetric systems. \nThis framework is then applied to two complementary experimental platforms realized in the context of this doctoral work. The first combines chiral surface-acoustic excitations with a magnetic vortex texture in a patterned ferromagnetic disk. The second consists of partially suspended axisymmetric YIG microresonators\, designed to support both low-loss mechanical motion and confined spin dynamics within the same structure[3]. Together\, these two systems provide complementary routes to investigate how elastic and magnetic modes carrying angular momentum can be generated\, controlled\, and coupled in realistic devices. \nIn particular\, this work demonstrates the controlled excitation and optical mapping of a surface-acoustic vortex by means of spiral interdigitated transducers. It further addresses the stabilization of magnetic vortex textures in micrometer-scale ferromagnetic disks on anisotropic piezoelectric substrates\, as well as their positioning at the center of elastic rotation. The coupling strength in suspended axisymmetric YIG microresonators has been evaluated by comparing experimental data with theoretical modeling\, indicating a weak-coupling regime. Moreover\, the role of weak symmetry breaking has been discussed for the selective excitation of counter-propagating elastic modes that would otherwise be degenerate. \nThese developments establish several of the physical and technological conditions required to address experimentally the coupling of elastic and spin excitations carrying angular momentum. More broadly\, they outline a route toward magneto-elastic platforms in which symmetry can be used as a resource for selective excitation. In this perspective\, partially suspended magnetic microresonators may provide a promising route toward strong magnon-phonon coupling under geometrical and symmetry constraints directly relevant for coherent functionalities. In the longer term\, such systems could serve as building blocks for mode-selective transducers and hybrid architectures combining magnetic\, elastic\, and optical degrees of freedom\, with possible perspectives for microwave-to-optical coherent transduction[4]. \nReferences \n\nGaranin & Chudnovsky\, Phys.

SUMMARY:Luis Alberto RAZO LOPEZ (Institut Langevin\, Paris)
DESCRIPTION:Phase retrieval based on intensity-only spatiotemporal wavefront shaping\nRésumé : \nWe introduce a phase retrieval framework based solely on intensity measurements and intensity-only spatiotemporal modulation. Our approach leverages spatiotemporal wavefront shaping to encode phase information into temporally multiplexed intensity signals\, which are subsequently decomposed in the Fourier domain. We show that the resulting temporal harmonics correspond to spiral-phase–modulated speckle components\, enabling the retrieval of phase information without direct phase-sensitive detection. We derive the harmonic structure induced by a rotating angular aperture mask and demonstrate that each harmonic carries a distinct spiral phase and amplitude weighting governed by a sinc envelope. Based on this structure\, we develop an optimization-based reconstruction algorithm that retrieves both the unknown diffuser phase and system scaling without prior knowledge of the optical transfer function. Experimental results confirm accurate reconstruction of diffuser surfaces and aberration correction\, including refocusing through digital micromirror device (DMD)-induced distortions. \nContact : dorian.bouchet@univ-grenoble-alpes.fr

SUMMARY:Roger TORMO-QUERALT (Institute of Photonic Sciences (ICFO)\, Barcelona\, Spain)
DESCRIPTION:Carbon Nanotube Electromechanical Oscillators: where photons\, phonons and electrons meet\nRésumé : \nAchieving strong mechanical nonlinearities\, minimally invasive detection\, and control at the few-phonon level is a central challenge in the development of mechanical oscillators for quantum technologies\, including quantum information processing (1\,2)\, precision sensing (3)\, and tests of quantum mechanics (4\,5). In our group\, we aim to realize these capabilities using suspended carbon-nanotube mechanical oscillators coupled to electronic quantum dots. In this talk\, I will present results obtained with a device operating in the exotic dispersive ultrastrong-coupling regime (6\,7)\, where the interaction strength between a nanotube mechanical oscillator and a double-quantum-dot electronic two-level system (DQD-ETLS) exceeds the bare energy of the oscillator. In this regime\, we demonstrate a mechanical Kerr oscillator with an anharmonicity exceeding the state of the art for mechanical systems by four orders of magnitude (8). We read out the mechanical states using a superconducting cavity coupled to the square displacement (x²) of the oscillator (8)\, paving the way towards future quantum non-demolition (QND) cavity-based readout of mechanical Fock states (9). I will also show that the decay and decoherence rates of our ETLS charge qubit outperforms the current state of the art for 2DEG-based systems\, reaching the highest coherence values ever measured in a charge-based DQD-ETLS (10). \n1 A.
