It will contribute to the theoretical understanding of automatic generation models, which could have numerous implications in terms of technological innovation.

Angelo Pierangelo, a professor and researcher at Ecole Polytechnique, conducts research on Mueller polarimetric imaging at the Laboratory of Physics of Interfaces and Thin Films (LPICM*). This optical imaging technique uses light polarization to explore biological tissues beyond their surface. Through this highly promising process and with the help of innovative technology developed with his team, the scientist aims to improve the diagnosis of various pathologies while promoting new strategies for treatment and patient care. His work has applications in the detection of precancerous lesions of the cervix and in monitoring the regular progress of pregnancy.
