France - Ondalys Postdoc Position in Optical Simulations for Novel Probe Design

A French innovative company (Ondalys, http://www.ondalys.fr/en ) is currently developing a novel optical probe for characterizing complex products. This Research and Development study is done in collaboration with a French public research center (Cemagref: http://www.cemagref.fr/English/ ) and Pr. Hamid Dehghani from the University of Birmingham, UK (School of Computer Science: http://www.cs.bham.ac.uk/ )

Ondalys is a spin-off company, dedicated to spectroscopic data processing and design of innovative optical solutions http://www.ondalys.fr/en/randd_ondalys.php). Composed of young researchers and engineers, Ondalys stays to the forefront of innovation on these topics, thanks to many cooperation projects with public institutes and industrial customers in France and throughout the EU.

Compared to classical near infrared spectroscopy, the objective of this solution is to correct for scattering effects and evaluate precisely the absorption and scattering coefficients. The data are processed using advanced chemometrics techniques and simulation approaches (Inverse problem solving).

A first probe has been developed and is currently tested for several applications (medical, pharmaceutical, agro-food industries).
