Mission

Within the faculty of engineering (STI), the Galatea Laboratory explores novel paradigms to tailor material properties locally using lasers. Our research involves three main clusters: understanding and exploring laser-matter interaction phenomena, investigating new manufacturing processes based on 3D direct-write laser methods, and finally, exploring novel concepts of multi-scale systems based on single monolith. The lab features state-of-the-art laser facilities and infrastructure for pioneer research.

The Galatea Lab is located in the vibrant Neuchâtel’s campus of EPFL, part of Microcity, a ecosystem with a focused on micro-technologies. 

To strengthen our research program on laser-based methods to tailor material properties, we are looking for a post-doc to investigate advanced wavefront shaping methods based on adaptive optics applied to the context of nonlinear laser-matter interaction.
