About this position
This postdoctoral project explores the stochastic thermodynamics of micro-mechanical resonators coupled to a thermal bath and an external control potential, such as an electrostatic force. The research is aimed at quantifying energy exchanges, understanding how the resonator temperature evolves, and interpreting the role of information when the system is operated under feedback.
The work combines theory and experiment. On the experimental side, the researcher will optimize a real-time feedback setup, run measurement campaigns using a very low-noise optical detector, and propose improvements to an existing functional apparatus. On the theoretical side, the project includes data analysis and interpretation through stochastic thermodynamics and information theory, as well as modelling of the experiments and calculation of theoretical maximum efficiencies.
The position is part of the ANR VAST project and will be based in the Physics Laboratory at ENS de Lyon, a research environment of around 180 people. The postdoc will work under the direct supervision of Ludovic Bellon and will interact with the wider local project team as well as international collaborators including A. Prados, C. Jarzynski, A. Imparato, J. Anders, and S. Whitelam.
The project is fundamental in nature and connects micro-mechanical systems, feedback, and energy conversion with broader questions in nonequilibrium physics.
