Ivan Favero

Ivan Favero received the Ph.D. degree in physics in 2005 for a research on Semiconductor Quantum dots carried-out at the physics department of the Ecole Normale Supérieure." He has later been a Post-Doctoral fellow of the Von Humboldt foundation, Munich University LMU, where he was involved in pioneering research on the optomechanics of deformable optical cavities. In 2008, he joined the CNRS, France, within the MPQ laboratories at University Paris Diderot, where he launched a research activity on gallium–arsenide nano-optomechanical systems. His current interests include whispering gallery resonators, nanomechanics, sensors, quantum optics.
