I studied molecular photonics at the Ecole Normale Superieure de Cachan in France and I wanted to do a PhD in biophotonics. I was very interested in the interdisciplinary nature of this CDT and it was a great opportunity for me to learn more about material sciences. Moreover, the rotations will truly complete my bioengineering background (from University of Technology of Compi猫gne) and give me more chance to complete successfully my PhD.
