• Eric Cassan: I have been a professor at the University of Paris-Sud since 2009, involved in silicon photonics for about twenty years. I have worked a lot on the themes of photonic crystals, slow waves, dispersion, etc., and my activity has focused a lot in recent years on hybrid photonics on silicon (CNTs, Erbium doped polymers, chalcogenides, etc.) for nonlinear optics on a chip. I really like computational physics and programming. On this activity or more related to experimental aspects, it is always a pleasure for me to welcome new students interested in research.
