Advancing Quantum Temperature Sensors for Ultra-Precise Measurements (UPMs): A Comparative Study

Ouafaa Ettahri earned a master’s degree in Microelectronics and Nanotechnology in 2018. She is currently pursuing a Ph.D. in Information Sciences and Technologies at the Université du Québec en Outaouais (UQO), where she conducts her research at the LIMA laboratory. Her research interests include quantum science and technology, microelectronics, and various aspects of microsystems.

Ahmed Lakhssassi received a B.Eng. and M.Sc.A in electrical engineering from Université du Québec à Trois-Rivières (UQTR), Québec, Canada in 1988 and 1990 respectively. He holds a Ph.D. in Energy and Material Sciences in 1995 from INRS-Énergie et Matériaux (Institut National de la Recherche Scientifique), Québec, Canada. In the same year also, he became a professor of Electro-thermo-mechanical aspects at NSERC -Hydro-Quebec Industrial Research Chair at the Electrical Engineering Department of the UQTR, where, for several years, he conducted Electro-thermal research projects. Since 1998, he has been with UQO (Université du Québec en Outaouais), where he is currently the titular professor and responsible for the LIMA laboratory (Advanced Microsystem Engineering Laboratory) developing IP core and embedded algorithms for microsystems thermo-mechanical sensors. His research interest is in the fields of bio-heat thermal modeling such as heat diffusion in biological tissues, metabolic heat generation and external interactions, and heat transfer mechanism in biological tissues for thermal therapeutic practices including dedicated bio-implantable puce design for cancer thermal dose control. Also, his research interest is in the Design of a Fully Automated tool for Porting Analog and Mixed-signal circuits within Different Technology nodes. He is a Senior member of IEEE, The Microsystem Strategic Alliance of Quebec (ReSMiQ), the OIQ (Ordre des Ingénieurs du Québec), and NanoQuébec.
