Detailed subject description
The objective of this thesis is to participate in the development of a microfluidic device that
will be able to isolate and characterize microbial communities immured in ice cores. Given
that access to ice core samples for biological exploration is limited due to technical issues
related to sample volume required in traditional approaches as well as contamination issues,
there is a clear need to miniaturize and improve sampling and analysis tools. By miniaturizing
the sample volumes, we will also increase the temporal resolution (in traditional methods,
large sample volumes of ice are melted and incorporate different layers that represent
different time scales).

Project:
In this thesis, we propose to address the Casimir effect with an hydrodynamic approach based on an acoustical analogy: the acoustic Casimir force. Here, when two plates are immersed in a fluid insonified by ultrasound radiation, a force arises from the acoustic radiation pressure difference between the inner and outer domain delimitated by the plates.
As we have recently shown, this configuration is very promising for manipulating micro particles in a liquid medium by acoustic waves and could be further extended to the case of submicron particles and use of acoustic metamaterials. We also believe this approach could help understanding its electromagnetic counterpart.

Scientific field and context: The diagnosis of most pathologies is currently carried out on the basis of biomolecular tests. However, in the context of point of care diagnostic, where low-cost devices are needed, these techniques suffer from certain limitations. Indeed, the use of biomolecular reagents can be quite expensive, requires strict conservation conditions and imposes a limited life of the device. To overcome these disadvantages, it is necessary to develop new approaches exploiting the physical properties (mechanical, electrical or migratory properties of cells). This thesis aims to provide an innovative approach to perform a diagnosis through the combination of nanophotonics and microfluidics. It is based on an optical measurement of the deformability of individual cells, which is an indicator for pathologies such as malaria, cancer, sepsis, etc…
