Jérôme TIGNON

Jérôme TIGNON is a Professor at Sorbonne University and a member of the Laboratoire de Physique de l’ENS (LPENS) at the Ecole Normale Supérieure (ENS) in Paris. He holds a position as PRCE (Professeur des Universités) and has been actively involved in research and academic leadership within the Physics department.

His educational background includes studies at the Ecole Normale Supérieure (ENS) and the University Pierre & Marie Curie (now Sorbonne University). He earned his PhD in 1996 and completed a postdoctoral fellowship at the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory in Berkeley, California, working on ultra-fast spectroscopy of III-V semiconductors under the supervision of D.S. Chemla.

His research focuses on nano-optics, ultra-fast optical and THz spectroscopy, and the dynamics of electronic excitations in semiconductor nanostructures. Key areas of investigation include THz-quantum cascade lasers, spin excitations in semiconductors, and carbon-based structures. Since 2005, he has led the development of ultra-fast THz spectroscopy research at ENS, contributing significantly to these fields.

He has received the Three Physicists Prize, a notable recognition in his field. Additionally, he holds three patents and has authored over 110 scientific publications, reflecting his impactful contributions to physics research.

While specific details on grants and advising are not provided in the text, his research has been supported through institutional and collaborative efforts, including his role in organizing the IRMMW-THz conference in 2019, which attracted over 1000 participants.

He is a key member of the LPENS research lab at ENS, where he has contributed to advancing experimental and theoretical research in nano-optics and ultra-fast spectroscopy.
