Philippe Boucaud

Philippe Boucaud received the Master's degree in solid-state physics and the Ph.D. degree in optical nonlinearities in semiconductor quantum wells from the University of Paris XI, Orsay, France, in 1987 and 1992, respectively. In 1988, he joined the Institut d'Electronique Fondamentale (IEF). He was a Postdoctoral Fellow at France Telecom CNET in 1992, where he was engaged in the growth and optical properties of SiGeC heterostructures. In 1993, he worked with the French National Center of Scientific Research (CNRS), Orsay, as a permanent Research Associate. In 1999, he was a Visiting Researcher at the University of California, Santa Barbara. Since 2001, he has been the Head of the Nanophotonics and Ultrafast Electronics Research Group, IEF, Orsay. Since 2004, he has been a Senior Research Associate with CNRS, Université Paris Sud, Orsay. His current research interests include self-assembled quantum nanostructures for quantum information and the development of photonic devices with Ge/Si self-assembled islands. He is the coauthor of more than 150 articles in the field of semiconductor heterostructures.
