He leads critical work within LAUM's Transducers team, focusing on fundamental and applied research in electroacoustics and thermoacoustics. His institutional affiliation places him at France's premier acoustics research laboratory, which maintains extensive facilities for acoustic measurements, ultrasonic experimentation, and transducer development across multiple specialized domains including materials science, opto-acoustics, and bioacoustics. Lotton's research program centers on two interconnected pillars: electroacoustics and thermoacoustics. His electroacoustic investigations pioneer advanced modeling, development, and characterization of audio transducers with particular emphasis on nonlinear behaviors in loudspeakers and electric guitar pickups. Simultaneously, his thermoacoustic research explores acoustic refrigeration systems, complex couplings between acoustic and thermal energy fields, and transient nonlinear phenomena. This dual focus enables innovative cross-pollination between audio engineering and thermal physics, driving advancements in both fundamental understanding and practical applications of acoustic energy conversion. Analysis of his 2019-2024 publications reveals a consistent trajectory in transducer physics, particularly MEMS-based piezoelectric speakers, voice coil dynamics in magnetic environments, and digital acoustic projection systems. His work demonstrates exceptional methodological diversity spanning analytical modeling, experimental validation, and educational innovation. Notable contributions include the ASKNOWN project's open-access acoustics courseware and breakthroughs in understanding transducer nonlinearities for both consumer audio and specialized applications like fish sound localization. No major scientific awards were documented in the available institutional materials, though his sustained publication record in high-impact journals and presentations at European Acoustics Association forums indicate significant peer recognition. His collaborative research network spans France, Germany, Italy, and the Czech Republic, reflecting strong international engagement. Lotton's academic supervision activities aren't explicitly detailed, but his educational initiatives like the ASKNOWN project demonstrate commitment to pedagogy. His research is supported through LAUM's institutional framework and collaborative projects including European initiatives and ANR-funded programs. Current work appears concentrated on advancing MEMS transducer technology, refining thermoacoustic cooling systems, and developing next-generation educational resources for acoustics. As a core contributor to LAUM's Transducers team, Lotton operates within one of Europe's leading acoustics laboratories. His current projects align with LAUM's strategic focus on transducer innovation and thermoacoustic applications, positioning him at the forefront of both theoretical acoustics research and practical engineering solutions. The laboratory's comprehensive infrastructure supports his work from fundamental wave propagation studies to applied device development.
