For the last few years, my research has often focused on using Resonant States (also known as Quasi-Normal-Modes) to express the response functions of open systems.

I am currently co-director of the C.L.A.R.T.E research group of the Institut Fresnel, and I teach Physics, Mathematics and Computer science courses for Aix Marseille Université .



My current interests are :

  • Optical Antennas for modifying the properties of Quantum emitters :
    (pratical applications and testing fundamental quantum optics)

  • Light diffusion and absorption in multiple scattering systems

  • Theoretical modeling of optical forces

  • Improvements in the modeling of light transport in dense heterogeneous systems

  • Effective media theory

My Curriculum Vitae -  in french is also available here

Research in brief :

My current research interests center on theoretical descriptions of photonic devices that can analyze and manipulate matter at nano-scale and micro-scales.

In particular, I have worked on : optical antennas , photonic jets and optical forces using theories based on the multiple-scattering of electromagnetic waves. I am also working on light scattering and absorption by periodic structures of particles like meta-materials and diffraction gratings .


Books :

I wrote a chapter in the Fresnel Institut e-book

Gratings: Theory and Numeric Applications, Second Revisited Edition 2014 )
