Research interests

The Nano(meter)-Femto(second)Lab (NFL) was set up in May 2002 at INRS-EMT with the aim of investigating surface phenomena at the atomistic scale. The NFL’s interests involve the understanding of the fundamental processes that govern nanoscale systems, and in the development and exploitation of the exceptional properties of nanostructured materials for diverse applications.

Research areas: Nanostructured Materials, Surface Science, Organic Electronics, Nanoelectronics

Research sub-fields: quantum dots, supramolecular assemblies, biomaterials, scanning probe microscopy
