ACADEMIC / TEACHING EXPERIENCE
• Full-time Lecturer, University of Brest, Spectrometry and Laser Optics Laboratory (LSOL) France, October 2002 to Present
(i) Research: my research activity can be classified in three categories. Firstly, I worked on femtosecond laser pulse metrology and non linear optics during my PhD. This work allowed me to acquire solid skills in experimental optics and metrology. Just after my PhD, I was hired as a lecturer at the University of Brest. I have  recently initiated and developed a line of research on the snapshot measurement of the polarimetric Mueller matrix. This research has resulted in ten publications that have demonstrated the feasibility of the technique and its unique potential applications. In line with the priorities set by his university, my major aim is to enhance the technology so that it can be applied to medical diagnosis.
(ii) Courses taught: 1) Optics and Physics to undergraduate and postgraduate students (200 hours of lectures and practicals per year), Geometrical Optics Physical Measurement, Wave Optics, Fourier Optics, Non Linear Optics, Laser, OCT. 2) Training (Master of Science in Education) for French secondary school teaching certificate (competitive exam).
(iii) Outreach activities: several open days (3-5 days / year) for students and the general public visiting the laboratory, participation in a scientific exhibition (« Fête de la Science » ) for the general public during a week per year (poster, funny and illustrative experiments in optics).
