PhD (Radio-frequency and Optics)

Apr-2019 - 2022/2023

Systems Design and Integration Laboratory - LCIS, Valence, France

Univ. Grenoble Alpes, Valence, France

Title: Authentification Unitaire Sécurisée dans les domaines THz et RAdiofréquencEs - AUSTRALE

My PhD work was developed in LCIS laboratory under main-coordination of Etienne PERRET and co-coordination of Nicolas BARBOT and Romain SIRAGUSA, was proposed in the context of AUSTRALE (ANR-18-CE39-0002) project, the AUSTRALE project was focused on new low-cost solutions for authentication applications in millimeter-wave and the terahertz (THz) band based on low-cost bio-sourced materials. A consortium of four laboratories worked on the development of new solutions for new authentication systems: the Systems Design and Integration Laboratory (LCIS) for the design of chipless solutions in mmWave, the IMEP-LAHC is charged with developing chipless solutions in THz, the GiPSA that worked on the post-processing aspect and the Technical Paper Center CTP provides low-cost printing solutions.

Teaching activities

2020 - 2022

Teacher (experimental activities) at National School of Advanced Systems and Networks (ESISAR), Valence, France :

  • Innovation Project - 5AMPX505: Multidisciplinary project addressed to the 5th year students of ESISAR of the EIS (Electronique, Informatique et Systèmes) specialization, the apprentice and Master students. The main goal is to create a real or virtual prototype (“demonstrator”) combining several disciplines taught at ESISAR.
  • Basics of radiofrequency devices - 4AMSC411: RF measurement on several basic components, such as transmission lines, couplers, stubs, and others. The microwave devices were evaluated with the help of a Vector Network Analyzer and RF simulation using CAD tools.
  • Geometric optics - 2AM PH251: The practical activities include experiments with optics and simple transmission lines.

2018

Teacher at Federal University of Campina Grande (UFCG), Campina Grande-PB, Brazil :

  • Antennas: Lessons and laboratory activities related to the antenna theory.
2012 - 2016

Teacher's assistant at Federal University of Campina Grande (UFCG), Campina Grande-PB, Brazil :

  • Principles of communications: Experiments with AM/FM modulation and demodulation.
  • Optics, electricity and magnetism: optics, electricity and classical electromagnetics experiments were conducted (mirrors, resistor's association, measure of earth's magnetic field (Helmholtz Bobine)).
