Contexte et atouts du poste

The position is with the Atlantis project-team at the Inria center of Université Côte d'Azur center, focusing on developing numerical modeling tools for nanophotonics. The team is also developing the DIOGENeS software suite for simulating nanoscale light-matter interactions [https://diogenes.inria.fr/].

Mission confiée

The main objective in this assignment is to participate in the develoment capabilities of the numerical tools developed in the DIOGENeS software suite.

The recruited engineer will also actively participate in the studies conducted by the Atlantis teammembersfor demonstrating the benefits of these numerical tools through the simulation of realistic and challenging use cases pertaining to various applications of nanoscale light-matter interactions. In particular, the team is now actively collaborating with potential end-users of the DIOGENeS software suite who are raising various modeling issues that need to BE addressed prior to simulating such realistic uses cases.

Principales activités
- Design and implement computational methods in object-oriented Fortran for partial differential equation models of nanophotonics
- Enhance the DIOGENeS software suite through new features, debugging, and performance optimization
- Collaborate with academic and industrial partners on research projects
- Represent the team at workshops, conferences, and dissemination events
- Develop and maintain technical documentation
- Contribute to scientific publications and technical reports
