Kamel MERGHEM

Kamel MERGHEM is a Lecturer at Telecom SudParis, affiliated with the Institute for System and Communication Technologies (ISTeC). His research focuses on semiconductor lasers, optical communications, and photonic integration. He leads the SAMOVAR laboratory's efforts in developing next-generation optical systems and frequency comb technologies. Dr. Merghem holds a HDR (Habilitation à Diriger des Recherches) in Physics from Institut Polytechnique de Paris (2023), focusing on chip-scale optical frequency combs for fiber optic communications and sensing systems.

His work spans optical feedback control, quantum-dot lasers, and optoelectronic reservoir computing for biomedical applications. Recent projects include hybrid optical feedback architectures for comb lasers and III-V/Si integrated lasers for high-speed telecommunications. He has published extensively in journals like Optics Express, Advanced Functional Materials, and IEEE Photonics Journal, with over 50 articles since 2006.

Key contributions include record-breaking WDM transmission using quantum-dash mode-locked lasers and novel optoelectronic systems for Alzheimer's disease detection. His research bridges photonics, materials science, and applied mathematics, with applications in 5G/6G networks and optical sensing.
