Genet | Light-matter interactions in complex systems

Different concepts lead us to explore the way in which complex systems interact with tailor-made light and to reveal new phenomena in contexts ranging from chiral light-matter coupling to stochastic thermodynamics and quantum materials. We exploit different approaches such as polarisation optics, optical forces, chiroptical spectroscopies, supramolecular chemistry, etc. to reveal new interaction regimes where chiral coupling and fluctuations play a central role.

Biography

Dr. Cyriaque Genet obtained his PhD in physics in 2002 from Pierre and Marie Curie University (Paris), under the supervision of Professor Serge Reynaud. He then worked in plasmonic optics in the "Quantum Optics and Quantum Information" group of Professor J.P. (Han) Woerdman at the Huygens Laboratory of Leiden University (Netherlands).

In 2004, he was recruited by CNRS to join Professor T.W. Ebbesen's team at the Institute of Science and Engineering of Supramolecular Compounds in Strasbourg. A research director at CNRS since 2016, he focuses on the fields of nano-optics, optical forces, and chiral light-matter interactions. He specializes in quantum vacuum effects (Casimir physics), strong coupling physical chemistry, chirality, and stochastic thermodynamics.
