Every year, Researchers’ Night is an opportunity to bring together the general public and researchers from across Europe for an evening packed with discoveries, experiments and events.
This year’s event, which took place in 16 cities across France, was an opportunity for ESEO in Angers to present two exciting research themes:
- “Energy Havesting” presented by Mohsen Koohestani, HDR teacher-researcher (RF-EMC) and Mohammed Ramdani, HDR teacher-researcher (RF-EMC):
A technology for recovering energy from the environment or produced by human activity, with the aim of reducing the carbon footprint of connected objects in the future.
- “Optical instrumentation for geophysics” presented by Romain Feron, teacher-researcher (GSII) and Philippe Menard, research and development technician (EseoTech ingénierie):
Travelling from the Antilles archipelago to the depths of Sweden’s mines via Italy’s Aeolian Islands, visitors were invited to discover the optical seismometers developed by ESEO.
The fruit of more than ten years’ collaboration with the IPGP (Institut de Physique du Globe de Paris) in particular, these uniquely robust and high-performance instruments are already present on active volcanoes, on the seabed and more than 1,000 metres underground.
A prototype demonstration enabled visitors to observe a seismogram and see the vibrations caused by their movements and jumps around the stand in real time.
