معرفی
William Guerin is a CNRS Researcher at the Université Côte d'Azur, leading the Cold Atoms team at INPHYNI since July 2024. He holds a PhD in Physics from Université Paris-Sud (2007) and a Habilitation in Physics from Université Côte d'Azur (2020). His research focuses on quantum optics, cold atom physics, and astrophysical applications of intensity interferometry. Key projects include studies of superradiance/subradiance in cold atomic samples, 1D lattice photonic properties, and stellar intensity interferometry.
Education highlights: PhD under Alain Aspect (2007), Master's and Engineering degree from Institut d'Optique (2003). Employment includes postdoctoral roles at Tübingen University (2010–2012) and INLN (2007–2009).
Research interests span intensity correlations in astrophysics, light-matter interfaces in 1D atomic ensembles, and random lasers in cold atoms. He has led major grants, including ANR projects (e.g., I2C consortium, 2020) and fellowships from Alexander von Humboldt and Carl Zeiss Foundations.
Publications emphasize theoretical and experimental advances in quantum optics, including collective excitation dynamics and photon correlation techniques. His work bridges atomic physics with astrophysical instrumentation, such as the I3T telescope for stellar distance measurements.
