SoftMat Project

Bibliographic study on a research topic related to the course and potentially relevant to the M2 internship subject.

80 hours of independent work spread over the first semester of M2. Several project progress meetings will be scheduled with expert supervisors and scientific coordinators for the program.

• Completion of a bibliographic study project on a chosen topic that may potentially give rise to simulations or analyses of experimental data.
• Discover, learn how to use, and leverage bibliographic search tools and platforms
• Summarize a current research topic in the form of a short bibliographic report, in collaboration with a researcher who is an expert in the chosen research topic.
• Develop critical scientific thinking through peer review of various reports produced by the class.

Master's Level in Fundamental Physics and Applications

Evaluation of project management by the expert supervisor.

Bibliographic report presented to a panel of peers.

Evaluation of a summary bibliography of 4 to 5 pages maximum by a panel composed of the program's scientific coordinators and master's degree instructors.

After a short training course on methodology and the use of tools for bibliographic research, students will be supervised by a teacher-researcher or researcher who is an expert in their chosen research topic to produce a summary bibliographic report.

Peer assessment is planned, which will lead students to explore several topics and develop a critical eye for writing a summary document.

These projects can serve as preparation for internship topics and are therefore also an opportunity to establish contacts with people working in different laboratories.
