Master student mobility: students away around the globe

On The August 31, 2023

Noé Villemagne, Maia Sutter, Nicolas Héricher, Gloria Isedu and Gabriel Gostiaux

Various students from ou master's degrees received mobility grants to carry their internship in labs abroad.

Each year, the Graduate School gives the opportunity to master students to do an internship abroad (M1 summer internship or M2 master's thesis). The grant, funded by Saint-Etienne Métropole allows our students to develop language and scientific skills in a different environment.

Noé Villemagne, engineering student at Institut d'Optique Graduate School (3A) and Advanced Imaging and Material Appearance (AIMA) master student, did his internship in the company Lambda-X in Nivelles, Belgium. He worked on the prediction of a patient eye quality after cataract surgery and implantation of an intraocular lens.

Maia Sutter is an M2 student in the Machine Learning and Data Mining (MDLM) specialisation of our MSc in Computer Science. She worked on unsupervised stance detection in social networks, a collaborative work between the Hubert Curien laboratory and the University of Sherbrooke.

Nicolas Héricher, student engineer at Institut d'Optique Graduate School (IOGS) and 2nd year student in the AIMA master degree, travelled to Brazil to do his master's thesis. He joined the teams of the Institute of Astronomy, Geophysics and Atmospheric Sciences (IAG) of the University of São Paulo (USP). He also worked with the teams at the National Laboratory of Astrophysics in Itajubá.

Gloria Isedu, 1rst year student in the Machine Learning and Data Mining (MDLM) specialisation of the MSc in Computer Science, received the Manutech-SLEIGHT mobility grant to go do her summer internship at the Institute of Transportation Systems of the German Aerospace Center in Braunschweig, Germany.

Gabriel Gostiaux, engineering student at Institut d'Optique Graduate School (3A) and Advanced Imaging and Material Appearance (AIMA) master student, carried out his internship at McGill University. He studied Atmospheric and Oceanic Sciences and in particular the atmosphere thanks to optical trapping, a technique of immobilisation of molecules. He used Raman spectroscopy to characterize chemical components in the atmosphere and analyze their proportion.

The Manutech-SLEIGHT mobilities have been made possible thanks to the support of the Saint-Etienne Métropole financial support.
