The objective of the SENS team is to develop research themes aiming to address the following three societal challenges :
- Safeguarding public health through the development of UltraViolet-emitting LEDs that can be used both for chemical-free disinfection of water
and surfaces, and for the treatment of some skin diseases
- Developing new tools for the biomedical field: this brings together several projects relying on very distinct materials and technologies :
GaN-based proton detectors for proton therapy; flexible microLEDs, notably based on GaN nanowires, for optogenetic neural implants; metasurfaces
for enhanced performance in medical imaging, especially endoscopes; and ultrasensitive biosensors using the properties of 2D materials.
- The search for sustainable energy sources against climate change through the development of new epitaxial materials for solar cells, in particular
the epitaxy of perovskites, renowned for their high performance in photovoltaics, and ZnMgN, a non-toxic and abundant material.
