Direction of research: Since 1978 I have directed 21 theses on subjects related to the use of spectroscopic techniques to study structural variations in diverse media. My last research group consisted of 13 permanent researchers working on the theme Micro et Nanostructure for photonics and electronics.

Areas of research : 

• Use of IR and Raman Spectroscopies and Force field calculations for study of crystalline systems
• Detection and characterisation of Alzheimer’s Disease
• Development of sol-gel materials/densification of sol-gel// effect of doping ions of densification processes
• Planar wave guides
• Alteration of glasses : Application to materials in art and archeology
• Création and growth of semiconductor nanoparticles (NP) for applications in photonics and photovoltaics
• Controlled photo growth and optical properties of semi conductor nano-objects in glass matrices

Publications : Author of 95 publications,  over a hundred oral presentations and over 50 invited conferences in congresses, conferences or in universities.
