Project Preparation for Master's Thesis

The purpose of this module is to prepare for the master's thesis project, which will last six months during S4.

This thesis project involves the use of large-scale facilities (preparation and securing of beam time for neutron or synchrotron radiation). You will need to review the current state of the art in this area and establish optimal experimental conditions (optimization of experiments on light lines or with neutrons).

This module will help develop "cross-disciplinary" skills, such as the development and organization of a scientific project (collaboration between universities and various EU research centers)

as well as communication skills.

The objectives of this project preparation are to develop a research project that incorporates a literature review, independent initiative, and communication skills, while also improving scientific presentations, organizational skills, and the ability to work independently, as well as general and specific knowledge of the required characterization methods—particularly those involving the use of large-scale facilities.
