fiorini

After graduating from Institut d’Optique Graduate School, Céline Fiorini obtained her PhD in Physics, (Optics and Photonics, Paris XI Orsay), in 1995. Since then, she has been working as a scientist in CEA Paris Saclay, going from the applied to the fundamental research division. She is currently part of the condensed matter laboratory, her main research topic being devoted to nanophotonics. More particularly, her studies mainly involve optical nano-antennas and molecular plasmonics, organic nonlinear optics and light emission (time-resolved fluorescence spectroscopy, frequency conversion), photochromism, molecular self-organisation, photoinduced ordering and mass transport … She has authored or co-authored more than 110 papers. In addition to her research activities, Céline FIorini is coordinating a so-called laboratory of Excellence of Paris Saclay University, aiming at promoting synergies between interdisciplinary scientists of different research fields, from nano(spin)electronics to nanophotonics, nanomedicine and nanochemistry.

photoDavy

 

Davy Gérard is an associate professor at the laboratory Light, nanomaterials, nanotechnologies (L2n) in Troyes, France. After a PhD at the University of Dijon (2004) on near-field imaging of photonic structures, his research interests moved to plasmonics and plasmon-enhanced fluorescence. His current research focuses on light-matter interaction at the nanoscale, including the use of aluminum as a new plasmonic material (in particular for UV-plasmonics), collective resonances in arrays of nanoparticles for light emission, nanoscale imaging, and chiral plasmonics. 

 

  

 

  • Nicolò MACCAFERRI (Ultrafast Nanophotonics and Advanced Functional Materials Group, Umeå University, Sueden)

Nicolo

Nicolò holds a tenure-track professorship and is the head of the ‘Ultrafast Nanophotonics and Advanced Functional Materials’ Group at the Department of Physics, Umeå University (Sweden) supported by the Swedish Research Council, the European Innovation Council, the Faculty of Science and Technology, the Kempe and Wenner-Gren Foundations. Currently, he is also a visiting group leader at the Department of Physics and Materials Science, University of Luxembourg. Nicolò performed his PhD research at CIC nanoGUNE (Spain) and got his PhD in Physics of Nanostructures and Advanced Materials from the University of the Basque Country in 2016. In 2015, he received the “Piero Brovetto” Award from the Italian Physical Society for “his contributions in the fields of nanomagnetism and nanooptics and the study of the physical properties of magnetoplasmonic nanoantennas and their application in bio-sensing”. Until now, he was able to collect more than 2.5 M€ to fund his own research. In 2022, he became a Fellow of the Young Academy of Europe, a pan-European initiative of young scientists for networking, scientific exchange and science policy. Nicolò’s research span a broad range of fundamental and applied aspects of natural sciences, with a special focus on both the fundamental and applied aspects of light-matter interactions in advanced and multifunctional nano- and meta-materials for opto-electronics and information processing, photochemistry and biotechnology. 

 

  • Valérie MARCHI (Institut des sciences chimiques de Rennes, France)

marchi

Valérie Marchi, graduated from ESPCI (1994) obtained her PhD at the University of Pierre et Marie Curie (Paris 6) and worked on supramolecular chemistry applied to vesicle fusion and adhesion at College de France (1998-2003) as well as Technische Universität München during her postdoc. She moved to Rennes University in 2004 to develop a research group in synthesis, surface chemistry and characterization as well as self-assembling of nanoparticles. Her work is oriented toward Biology-Nanoscience interface and dedicated to bioimaging using protein-quantum dots hybrids with a controlled stoichiometry (Nanolett. 2009, JACS 2009, Nanolett. 2011), self-assemblies of nanoparticles driven by synthetic complementary proteins (ACS Nano 2016, Nanoscale 2020) and the optical properties of these nanostructured materials (Langmuir 2015, Nanoscale 2020 and Nanomaterials 2021) and more recently biolabeling and biosensing with gold nanoclusters. Her group also investigated gold nanorods or quantum rods structured assemblies obtained with short peptidic ligands by SAXS and SEM (ACS Nano 2012 and Small 2014). Recently her research focuses on the original synthesis of bioactivated gold nanoclusters for biomedical applications and applications in medicinal diagnostic, drug delivery system and biosensor (J. Phys Chem Lett 2022, Nanomaterials 2022).
