Staff researcher


Research Subjects

mesoscopic physics: shot noise in hybrid systems (up to 2000). Since 2000 electrical quantum transport in silicon nanodevices: Coulomb blockade, transport through a single dopant, ionization energy of a single dopant, Si-RF-SET, valley-orbit splitting of a single dopant atom, adiabatic and non-adiabatic electron pumps.


CV

From 2008 to 2011, E.U. FP7 project "AFSiD" (www.afsid.eu): development and measurement of ultra-scaled silicon devices for new functionalities: Coulomb blockade and single dopant transistors.

From 2007 to 2010, in charge of an ANR project aimed at developping a new silicon CMOS electron pump.

In 2002 I joined the mesoscopic physics group of SPSMS at CEA-Grenoble.

Postdoc (2000-2001): at NIST in Boulder, Colorado, USA, worked on a new capacitance standard based on counting electrons.

PhD (1997-1999): set-up of a new shot noise measurement apparatus based on a DC squid and application to measurement of shot noise doubling in Normal/Superconductor junctions.
