Welcome to our website!

You will find here useful information about our current research activities as well as a short biography of the people making them with care and patience. There is also a section devoted to our former students. I invite them to contact us to update this section. Finally, to our new visitors, I just want to remind you that there are always open positions in my laboratory for talented graduate students. Have a nice visit!
