FOMO2022 Lecturers
These are the lecturers at the FOMO2022 summer school
-
Philippe Bouyer
Philippe Bouyer is research director at CNRS and deputy director of the Institut d’Optique Graduate School in Bordeaux. He received his doctorate at Ecole Normale Supérieure in 1995. Since then, he has been worked on atom interferometer-based inertial sensor experiments, atom lasers and Anderson localization with cold atoms. His current interests are the study of quantum simulators with ultracold atoms and the development of atom interferometers for testing general relativity in space or detecting gravity fields and gravitational waves underground. He is the recipient of the 2012 Louis D award of the French academy, APS fellow and OSA senior member.

Stefan Gerlich
Stefan Gerlich is a Senior Scientist at the Quantumnanophysics Group at the University of Vienna.
-
Nicola Poli
Nicola Poli is at the LENS – European Laboratory for Non-Linear Spectroscopy of the of the University of Florence in the group of Precision Measurements with Ultracold Atoms.
-
Arnaud Landragin
Arnaud Landragin is currently a research director at CNRS and director of the SYRTE laboratory. He obtained a PhD in physics from the University of Paris XI, Orsay, France, in 1997. After a two-year postdoctoral fellowship under the supervision of Prof. Kasevich at Yale University on an atomic gyroscope, USA, he joined the CNRS. His research focuses on the realisation and characterisation of atomic interferometers to be used as inertial sensors. He was awarded the Lamb Prize of the French Academy of Sciences in 2009 and the CNRS Medal for Innovation in 2020.
-
Pierre Cladé
Pierre Cladé is chargé de recherche (CNRS) at Laboratoire Kastler Brossel. He is a specialist in atomic interferometry. He works in particular on the application of this technique to the measurement of the fine structure constant α. He is also part of the GBAR collaboration aiming at measuring the free fall acceleration of anti-matter in the earth gravity field.
-
Clare Burrage
Clare Burrage is a Professor in the School of Physics and Astronomy at the University of Nottingham. Before coming to Nottingham she held research positions at the University of Geneva and at DESY (German Electron Synchrotron). She was awarded her PhD in 2008 from the University of Cambridge. In 2015 she was awarded the Maxwell Medal by the Institute of Physics for outstanding contributions to Theoretical Physics. She currently holds a Research Leadership Award from the Leverhulme Trust. She is a theoretical cosmologist, mainly interested in theories of dark energy and modified gravity.

Luca Pezzé
Luca Pezzé is at QSTAR – Quantum Science and Technology in Arcetri of the Istituto Nazionale di Ottica, CNR-INO at LENS. His research activity focuses on the theory of quantum-enhanced interferometry, entanglement and quantum gases.
