This year, France’s l’Etudiant magazine has come up with a new method for ranking the country’s 160 CTI-accredited engineering schools, using a series of 37 indicators which students can select to come up with a personalized ranking to meet their individual needs. Grenoble Institute of Technology’s Phelma tied for first place (with Polytechnique and ENSCP) […] >>

Pierre Benech, Dean of Grenoble Institute of Technology’s Phelma engineering school, was officially reappointed for a second five-year term in January. He intends to pursue the strategy he has spearheaded since taking up the position in 2008, with a particular focus on further expanding the school and strengthening the school’s role in major institutional initiatives […] >>

CIME Nanotech recently acquired a new lithography machine that performs two innovative processes. The first, nano-printing with control of the pressing and separation stage via an actuator matrix, reduces the number of defects compared to manual pressing and separation. The second process enables resin-free lithography using plasma situated between the substrate and mask, making it […] >>

LMGP, a CNRS joint research unit affiliated with Grenoble Institute of Technology, got a new management team on January 1 of this year. Franz Bruckert and Carmen Jiménez were appointed Director and Deputy Director, respectively. They succeed Bernard Chenevier and François Weiss. Mr. Bruckert is a faculty member in the Biophysics Department at Grenoble Institute […] >>

Researchers at Leti have developed a simulator to validate the position and size of the holes used to remove, via etching, the sacrificial material used to temporarily support structures during the fabrication of MEMS and NEMS—and release the systems’ moving parts. The holes substantially shorten a critical phase in the process of releasing moving parts, […] >>
