Photonic & electronic sensors for environment and health
- Sensors & Associated systems
- Lasers & Photodiodes
- Technology & Design tools for sensors
- Photonics Instrumentation & Metrology
Sensors are omnipresent in our modern world. To give just a few examples: in the environment, they aim to detect and quantify the presence of pollutants in water or the atmosphere; in medicine, they allow 2D or even 3D imaging of the eye, arteries, or the early diagnosis of diseases. The most recent and efficient sensors are for the most part based on electronic or optical/photonic components without us even knowing it. In this context of an ever increasing and more challenging demand, the Master IDIL "Photonic & Electronic Sensors for Environment and Health" intends to train highly qualified personnel in the field of electronic and photonic sensors, with an orientation towards applications in environment and health, based on long stays in research laboratories. Graduates will then be able to choose to complete their training in order to become researchers in the public or private sectors, responsible for the development of new systems opening up the field of possibilities for the future.
The training is supported by the Institute of Electronics and Systems, a research laboratory of international scope in the field of sensors and photonics. Under the supervision of renowned researchers, you will learn to master the most up-to-date experimental techniques that will enable you to design and manufacture lasers, sensors, detectors and other key components using state-of-the-art technological equipment, including the application of components, particularly in the fields of environment and health.

ENGINEERING DIPLOMA
Research and Innovation engineer diploma
The Engineering Research Course is structured around three engineering schools in Montpellier (Polytech Montpellier, ENSCM and the Agro Institute), and proposes to boost the training-research-innovation link while strengthening school/laboratory interactions around innovative projects.
The training of engineers through research is one of the paths of excellence for training students capable of embracing the complex themes of sustainable transitions, preserving energy, natural resources, biodiversity and the environment. It is a question of developing their critical sense, their scientific rigor, their creativity and their taste for innovation while developing the systemic vision that characterizes engineers.
This approach is organized in our schools with a common theme: "Sustainable transitions", and allows the development of multidisciplinary skills, responding to strong societal issues.
As part of the programs of these schools, the Engineering Research Program offers :
- Participation in an integration seminar bringing together students from the three schools, including an international conference on a Muse theme (Nourish, Care, Protect) and group work sessions on sustainable transitions;
- Transversal courses followed in common: experimental approach, writing scientific articles in English, research and bibliographic watch..;
- A work on a Research and Development project;
- The bibliographic study of a research project, the establishment of experimental protocols, the acquisition of data, the analysis and processing of results, the writing and learning of "peer reviewing" in compliance with good practices and research ethics. This project may eventually be the subject of a scientific publication and/or a patent.
- An end-of-study R&D internship in a public or private laboratory.
