Contexte et atouts du poste
Atlantis is a joint project-team between Inria, CNRS and Université Côte d'Azur, which gathers applied mathematicians and computational scientists who are collaboratively undertaking research activities aiming at the design, analysis, development and application of innovative numerical methods for studying nanoscale light-matter interaction problems. In the recent years, the team has developed the DIOGENeS [https://diogenes.inria.fr/] software suite, which is organized around several numerical tools for the simulation of physical problems related to the fields of nanophotonics and nanoplasmonics. In particular, this software suite implements several high-fidelity fullwave solvers based on high-order Discontinuous Galerkin (DG) methods tailored to the systems of time- and frequency-domain Maxwell equations possibly coupled to differential equations modeling the behavior of propagation media at optical frequencies. Moreover, DIOGENeS also includes algorithms and workflows for the inverse design of nanostructures and nanophotonic devices for harvesting and shaping nanoscale light-matter interactions. The numerical methods currently implemented in DIOGENeS are accurate and flexible but they are also time consuming. For this reason, the team has recently launched a line of research aiming at the design of novel AI-based methods by considering purely data-driven or model-driven modeling approaches.
Mission confiée
The first objective in this assignment is to participate in the development of a novel software platform that will implement AI-based methods for the study of nanoscale light-matter interactions and the design of advanced nanoscale structures and devices for various applications in the realm of planar optics. In particular, the recruited engineer wil actively collaborate with researchers, postdoctoral fellows and PhD candidates of the team who are involved in research activities on modeling methods based on artificial neural networks. As a second goal of this assignment, the recruited engineer will also actively participate in the studies conducted by the Atlantis team members for demonstrating the benefits of the developed numerical tools for concrete applications that are addressed in close collaboration with physicits from national and international labs, and with industrial partners of the team.
