Alexandre Locquet

Dr. Alexandre Locquet is a researcher at the Unité Mixte Internationale (UMI 2958) Georgia Tech-CNRS Laboratory, Georgia Tech Lorraine, Metz, France, and an adjunct professor at the School of Electrical and Computer Engineering, Georgia Institute of Technology. His research focuses on photonics, semiconductor laser dynamics, terahertz imaging, and nonlinear time series analysis with applications in material characterization and nondestructive evaluation. He holds degrees from institutions including the Université de Franche-Comté, Georgia Tech, and Institut Polytechnique de Paris (HDR).

Education:

• M.S. in Electrical Engineering (Faculté Polytechnique de Mons)
• Ph.D. in Engineering Science (Université de Franche-Comté)
• Ph.D. in Electrical and Computer Engineering (Georgia Tech)
• HDR (Habilitation à Diriger des Recherches, Institut Polytechnique de Paris)

Research interests emphasize photonic information processing, semiconductor laser chaos, and terahertz-based nondestructive testing for aerospace, automotive, and cultural heritage applications. His work bridges fundamental science and engineering, with contributions to microwave comb generation, reservoir computing, and material property analysis using THz spectroscopy.

Publications span over 150 journal/conference articles and one book chapter, with recent trends in THz imaging for layered material analysis, semiconductor laser dynamics optimization, and machine learning integration in optical systems. His work is supported by collaborations with CNRS and industrial partners.

Labs/Teams: Lead the Photonic and Terahertz Group within UMI 2958, focusing on advanced imaging and material characterization techniques. Active in interdisciplinary projects involving cultural heritage preservation and aerospace material evaluation.
