ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS

This work could not have been possible without the financial support of LAPHIA Cluster of
Excellence and the joined efforts of Professor Serge Ravaine, Dr Renaud Vallée and Dr
Mireille Blanchard-Desce.
I want to thank Dr Mireille Blanchard-Desce for giving me the opportunity to participate in
this project and to learn many new things in the process.
I would especially like to thank my supervisor, Serge Ravaine, for his guidance, ideas and
advice, which improved this work greatly, and made it possible to finish my doctorate.

The work of this thesis was divided between the Centre de Recherche Paul Pascal (CRPP) and
Institut des Sciences Moléculaires (ISM) laboratories, which gave me the opportunity to
interact with, and receive the assistance of, people working in varying fields of research.
From CRPP, I want to thank Dr Renaud Vallée for being so patient while helping me to
understand the physics involved in this work. I also wish to thank Dr Atsushi Yamada who
performed the simulations that gave rise to the experimental work presented in this thesis.
Furthermore, I am grateful to my friends, Miguel Comesaña-Hermo, Alexandra Madeira,
Sergio Gomez-Graña and Noelia Vilar-Vidal, who taught me the basics of nanoparticle
synthesis. I want to thank them for their help and very useful discussions, that resulted in
more successful experiments. To Hanbin Zheng, I give my thanks for being the best office-
mate that I could ask for. Finally, I would also like to thank the students from my group,
especially Mayte and Pierre-Etienne, for helping with everyday lab activities.
From ISM, I am particularly thankful to Jean-Baptiste Verlhac for being always available to
discuss my work and give the ideas to improve it. I also thank him for his help with organic
synthesis described in this work. To Maxime Klausen and Eduardo Cueto-Diaz, I thank them
for their patience and willingness to explain to me the necessary organic chemistry, including
fundamental principles.

I also have to thank our collaborators for their help in different areas. From ISM, I wish to
thank David Talaga and Dr Sébastien Bonhommeau for performing the optical
characterization of the samples. From Institut de Chimie & Biologie des Membranes & des
Nano-objets (CBMN), I want to thank Juan Elezgaray for his help and efforts with DNA
origami synthesis. From the University of Technology of Troyes, I thank Professor Renaud
