Research activities
I received my Ph.D. degree in Materials Science from the University of Rennes (France) in 2005 where he worked on amorphous semiconductors for data storage and infrared optics. Next I joined the group of the Prof. Yoel Fink at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), Cambridge, USA, as a research associate (2006-2010).
At MIT I developed novel multi-material optical fibers with a focus on the in-fiber glass/crystal phase-change capability for fiber-based optoelectronic devices. Then I joined the group of the Prof. Kathleen Richardson at Clemson University, USA, as a research scientist (2011-2013). There I pursued research on amorphous semiconductors for mid-infrared optics and photonics, in bulk, film and fiber forms.
I relocated in Bordeaux, France, at the Institut de Chimie de la Matière Condensée de Bordeaux (ICMCB) in September 2013. There I aim at establishing a new research activity, including the dedicated facility, on soft-Tg-glass-based specialty optical fibers for applications ranging mid-infrared optics, photosensitive fibers, fiber Lasers and novel smart fibers with unique functionalities.
My overall scientific research interests are currently focused on (i) the synthesis, purification and detailed characterization of oxide glasses showing promising novel physical properties, (ii) to elucidate their composition-structure-property relationships and (iii) applying these materials to the fabrication of specialty optical fibers.
