Research

I'm a member of the cold-atom team since 2012 and the head of the team since July 2024.

Main current projects:

  • Cold atoms in 1D lattices: photonic and quantum properties (since 2022)
  • Intensity correlations for astrophysics (since 2015) 
Main past projects:
  • Super- and subradiance in dilute and disordered cold atomic samples (2013-2022)
  • Random laser in cold atoms (2007-2016)
  • Photonic band gaps and DFB lasing in cold atoms (2010-2012, at Tübingen University)
  • Lévy flights of light in hot vapors (2008-2009)
  • Bose-Einstein condensation and atom laser (2003-2007, at Institut d'Optique)
