Two-month overseas internship at the Tixier-Mita laboratory during the second year of a Technological University Bachelor.
Internship Student - Optical analysis
Thomas MenierInternship Student - Optical analysis
Thomas Menier completed a two-month internship at the Tixier-Mita laboratory on optical analysis of cultivated cardiomyocyte cells. His work focused on software for real-time tracking of cell contractions, measuring their intensity and frequency, and supporting the study of responses to electrical stimuli.
Experience
Real-time optical analysis of cultivated cardiomyocyte contractions to measure intensity, frequency, and response delay to electrical stimuli.
Python 3 and OpenCV prototype based on template matching and normalized cross correlation.
Development of a fuller application with PySide6, PyQtGraph, multiple trackers, and real-time distance plotting.
Multi-purpose live tracking software working on videos and prepared for connection to a Raspberry Pi camera.
