Jean-François Roux

Jean-François Roux is a University Professor (section 63) at Savoie Mont-Blanc University, with a focus on Photonics, Optoelectronics, and Terahertz (THz) Wave Applications. He has been active in research and teaching since 1996, transitioning from Maître de Conférences to full Professor in 2021.

• Education: PhD in Nonlinear Optics (1995, INP Grenoble)
• Habilitation: Terahertz Signal Generation and Detection (2010)

Roux’s research spans terahertz wave generation, detection of ultra-fast electrical signals, and material characterization for metamaterials. His work includes dual-wavelength lasers, THz cameras, and integrated optoelectronic circuits, with applications in optomicrowave systems and quantum electronics.

Recent publications highlight advancements in 3D photonic-plasmonic switches, metamaterials, and low-temperature THz devices. Collaborations include the Néel Institute (Grenoble) and ST Microelectronics, with projects like ANR STEPforQUBITS and PEPR E-QubitFly.

Roux has supervised 10 PhD students and coordinated regional/national research programs, including projects funded by Rhône-Alpes Region (2004, 2013), French Ministry of Foreign Affairs (2005), and ANR grants. He currently leads the ANR StepForQuBits and participates in ANR DISPONT and PEPR E-QubitFly.
