Group description

The group WAVES* is composed of three teams (with a staff of 15 permanent researchers) involved in highly multi-disciplinary projects (materials, physics, chemistry, biology, medicine…), each collaborating with a large panel of academic and/or industrial partners:

MIM: Material Interaction Microwave

MDA: Acoustic wave-based and other innovative Detection Microsystems

EDMiNA: Evaluation of Micro and Nano-Assembled Devices

Main research activities are focused on the study of wave-matter interaction and exploitation of the richness of the propagation modes in order to characterize materials & structures, develop and assess reliability of advanced microelectronic & optoelectronic devices. This is obtained by emphasizing mono or multimodal detection based on acoustics, microwave and/or optics. Applications address telecommunications, aeronautics, defense, space, energy management, health, industry…

The use of modelling tools (analytical or FEM, FDTD…) and well-equipped experimental platforms - high-frequency (DC to 110GHz), acoustics and optics (UV to near IR) - allows to work on three main research topics:

Development of photonic, electromagnetic and acoustic micro-devices (innovative materials and/or design) and/or non-destructive precise characterization

Implementation of multi-physics communicating sensors

Wireless micro-energy systems

The understanding and the modelling of physical mechanisms occurring in materials, devices and their interaction with the environment are considered as key challenges for this group.

We are also investigating the development of smart and sustainable systems, focusing on integration of innovative “green” materials as well as original detection architectures and sensor networks, well adapted to digital environment to determine both their potential in the laboratory and for dedicated applications.

A large place is given to international collaboration for example with Canada (LN2, Sherbrooke University), Spain (TECNALIA), Singapore (CINTRA-NTU) and Brazil (USP). Since 2015, 63 papers (30 with an IF over 3) and 81 international conferences have been published by the group, 19 PhD have been defended, we have welcomed 7 visiting professors. 13 PhD students and 1 post-doc fellow are on-going.

For advanced manufacturing-related projects, the IMS-Waves group is used to collaborate with other teams and laboratories of the Bordeaux campus, especially with researchers in the mechanical field (I2M lab) and from the advanced material domains (ISM, ICMCB…).
