Workshop Perspectives 11

29 mai 2026, 10:00 → 30 mai 2026, 20:00 Europe/Paris

bâtiment 200 (IJCLab) (Orsay )

D2i2 is proud to announce the 11th edition of our workshop "Perspectives"!

  Registrations are now opened!

  Whether your PhD thesis is just starting, advancing, or a distant memory, these two days will answer your most serious questions about your professional future in a friendly and relevant environment. During the workshop, about 15 speakers are invited, researchers in the public and private sectors, working in outreach, teachers, working in start ups or large companies... Recruitment and occupational integration specialists will also be present.

  During round tables or within small-group activities, they will explain their path and their actual work, will detail the terms and conditions of competitions for public research, and demystify how recruitment works in the private sector. These two days will give you a broad view of the available perspectives after a PhD thesis in our fields.

  The PHENIICS doctoral school sponsors this event, and will account it as one of your doctoral training, as long as you take part in the two days of the event. For the fourth year, the workshop will be hosted in English.

  Registration is free, and not only reserved to D2i2 members. All PhD students from any doctoral school is welcome. Lunch and coffee breaks are provided within the limit of participation numbers.

D2I2 presentation

Président de session: D2i2 Association

1 D2i2 association

The D2I2 association (which stands for Doctorants et Docteurs des 2 Infinis) is an association mainly based in the IJCLab and the CEA. However, it also manages all the (PhD) students working for the IN2P3 part of the CNRS in Ile-de-France. Its main objective is to foster a welcoming environment and a natural network between students starting their research careers.

To this end, monthly informal bar meetings are organised in Paris between people from different laboratories to improve relations between different organisations. An annual workshop (Perspective) is also organised to present the different career paths that can be chosen after the PhD.

Nicolas Leroy has been a researcher at CNRS since 2004 at Laboratoire de l’accélérateur linéaire (LAL) and now at laboratoire de physique des deux infinis Irène Joliot-Curie (IJCLab). He works on the search for gravitational waves with the Virgo experiment. He took part in many competition/interview jurys : CNRS researchers (member of "section 01" between 2012 and 2016), "maitre de conférences" (Sorbonne Université, UGA, Paris-Sud) and research engineers at CNRS.

8 François Ginisty

9 Luc Noizette

Luc received his PhD in embedded electronics for the aerospace sector from the university of Grenoble in October 2024. His research work, carried out part-time at an ArianeGroup subsidiary, focuses on the hardening of digital components integrated into onboard aerospace systems in the face of severe radiative environments.
During his thesis, Luc had the opportunity to visit several specialized ESA and NASA test facilities around the world, to reproduce the effect of radiation on electronic components in an accelerated way.

Today, he works in R&T at Nuclétudes, an ArianeGroup sbsidiary located near the Saclay plateau, as a radiation engineer. His daily work is at the intersection of the two infinities, as he characterizes the way in which radiation-matter interactions in the infinitely small can disrupt the operation of probes and satellites used to study the infinitely large in space.

10 Vsevolod Yeroshenko

Vsevolod received his PhD in Particle Physics from IJCLab in 2024, where his research focused on the development and operation of particle detectors, as well as data analysis within the LHCb experiment at CERN. With a strong interest in detector technologies, he became particularly passionate about their real-world applications beyond fundamental research.

He currently works as an Application Engineer at Weeroc, a spin-off start-up from the OMEGA academic laboratory. The company specializes in integrated circuit design for detector signal readout, with expertise in embedded systems and software development. Vsevolod contributes to the R&D process by bringing a physicist’s perspective to the development, testing, analysis, and presentation of products tailored for diverse fields such as medical imaging, nuclear energy, space industry, climate science, high-energy physics and other.

Round Table: Education - Teaching

11 Jonathan Biteau

Jonathan Biteau is Maître de conférences at the Paris-Saclay University since 2015. He teaches (astro)physics from L1 to M2, in particular within the MSc program Nuclei, Particles, Astroparticles and Cosmology (NPAC), which he co-directs. His research within the Auger and CTAO collaborations (+ HESS and VERITAS during his PhD and postdoc years) focuses on extragalactic astrophysics and cosmology, as well as instrumentation for astroparticle observatories.

12 Marion Pillas

13 Nicolas Cornuault

Nicolas Cornuault is a high school teacher since 2021, and currently at Lycée Rosa-Parks in Saint-Denis. He teaches physics, chemistry and science history. He received a PhD in astrophysics in 2017 from the Institut d'astrophysique de Paris and worked for three years as a postdoctoral researcher at the Racah Institute in the Hebrew University in Jerusalem.
