Expectations:

“With this scholar visit to Penn State, I expect to achieve some primary core targets: acquire new research skills and extend my research portfolio to learn more about perovskite solar cells and their fabrication in controlled environment and ambient conditions. I hope to forge collaborative initiatives and establish research networks leading to joint research grant proposal development.”

Just Francois NGANZIAM LOUMONI

Hometown: Brazzaville/Republic of Congo

Education:

• Bachelor’s Degree in Industrial Engineering, University Savoie Mont Blanc Polytechnic School – Annecy, France
• MSc. General Industrial Engineering, CESI Graduate School of Engineering – Paris, France (In progress till Sept 2024).

My experience in the Doumon lab.

As part of my general engineering degree in France, I completed a mandatory international mobility internship at the Doumon Lab. This internship had several objectives: discovering international scientific research, improving my English, and immersing myself in a new culture. I had an incredibly enriching experience, having no prior knowledge of scientific research. In a short time, I acquired the basics in this exciting field and developed a genuine interest for science. I was thus able to work on perovskite-based LEDs (PELEDs), conducting experiments, analyzing results, and presenting them every week. This sparked a lasting scientific curiosity in me.

My English also improved markedly, as evidenced by my score of 410/495 on the TOEIC listening section. The spirit of collaboration, mutual assistance, and professionalism within Doumon Lab greatly facilitated my integration and made this internship extremely beneficial in every way. I sincerely thank the Doumon Lab for an unforgettable experience that opened perspectives I had never imagined.

Expectections:

Collaborating with Doumon Lab presents an enriching opportunity to improve my English, delve into scientific research, and expand my knowledge of perovskite solar cells.

My experience in the Doumon lab.

I had the opportunity to work with the Doumon group for an international mobility internship. Before this internship, I had a few expectations : immersing myself in a new culture, discovering a new field and feeling more secure in using English. During these 3 months, I had a great experience thanks to the people in the Doumon lab and I learned the basics of scientific research as well as some notions of perovskites thin film fabrication. I feel now more fluent and assured in English conversation. I will be forever grateful for the warm, welcoming and supportive environment at the Doumon lab, which allowed me to integrate smoothly..

Pascale Emmanuella N’goran

Hometown: Bouake, Côte d’Ivoire

Education:

• Bachelor’s degree: Technicien supérieur en sciences et technologies du génie industriel, Institut National Polytechnique Félix Houphouet-Boigny, Yamoussoukro Cote d’ivoire
• Bachelor’s degree: Licence sciences pour l’ingénieur, Université de Reims Champagne- Ardenne, charleville-mézières France
• MSc. General Industrial Engineering, CESI Graduate School of Engineering – Paris, France (In progress till Sept 2025).

My experience in the Doumon lab.

As part of my general engineering degree in France, I had to do a 4-month internship abroad. This internship had several objectives, including helping me improve my level in English, discovering the world of research and also discovering a new culture. During this internship I had the opportunity to work on organics solar cells. Having no experience in the world of research, I was pleasantly surprised by everything I was able to discover, and I even found myself loving this field. In a period of time I was able to learn a lot about this exciting and vast field. Thanks to his months spent at the DoumonLab my English has improved considerably, I am now able to understand and have a discussion in English. I appreciated all the discussions I had with each member of the DoumonLab, their generosity and kindness were essential factors in my integration and evolution. I thank the DoumonLab for this incredible experience.
