New recruitments

Fellow No 12: ER Emeric Biver

Emeric Biver was recruited as a post-doctoral researcher at Oxford Lasers on October 2014. He obtained an international engineering Master's Degree in Micro and Nanotechnologies for Integrated Systems from the Institutes of Technology of Grenoble (France), Turin (Italy) and Lausanne (Switzerland). Early 2010 he was recruited as an engineer in the Lasers, Plasmas and Photonic Processes (LP3) laboratory, a joint research unit of CNRS/Aix-Marseille University, France. There he worked on laser thin film etching and patterning on collaboration with Nexcis, a French company producing photovoltaic panels. He subsequently started a Ph.D. in the same laboratory, under the supervision of Dr. Philippe Delaporte, on the subject "Laser processes for the development of 3D-System In Package microelectronics". He studied both the etching of cavities in polymers modified to enhance laser ablation and the Laser-Induced Forward Transfer (LIFT) of metallic nanoparticles inks. He demonstrated and characterized the high speed deposition of conductive lines by LIFT. He obtained his Ph.D. in July 2014 and his work led to five publications in international journals. His tasks in the LaserMicroFab project will include beam shaping and its influence on laser thin film patterning, and the design of a laser platform for the integration of laser patterning and printing processes.

Fellow No 3: ER Filimon Zacharatos

Filimon Zacharatos was recruited as a postdoctoral researcher in the physics department of NTUA on February 2014. He received the Physics diploma from Patras University in 2003 and the Ph.D. degree, specializing in nanotechnology, from the Physics department of National Technical University of Athens (NTUA) in 2009. Until 2009 he has been working at the Institute of Microelectronics, of the National Center for Scientific Research “Demokritos” in Athens, as a Ph.D. student, investigating nanostructured materials for applications in Microelectronics and RF systems. Between 2011 and 2013 he worked in the fabrication of plasmonic structures and their characterization with cw and pulsed lasers for telecom applications, as a postdoctoral fellow in the sub-micron optics group of ICB, University of Burgundy. His current research is focused on Laser micro-printing of devices and structures and Laser micro-curing of metals. He is the author or the co-author of 10 publications in international journals, of 1 book chapter and co-inventor of 2 patents

Fellow No 15: ER Daniel Puerto Garcia

Daniel Puerto Garcia was recruited as a postdoctoral researcher in the Lasers, Plasmas et Procédés Photoniques (LP3) laboratory, a joint research unit of CNRS/Aix-Marseille Univiversity on January 2014. He started his research career (2001-2004, Junior Assistant) in the Department of Material Science, Optics and Electronic Technology of Universidad Miguel Hernández of Elche with Dr. Ignacio Moreno where he worked as a teacher (2004-2005). He worked in the development of experimental techniques and simulations of electro-optics devices of polarization, as well as in the calibration of different crystal liquid modulators. During his PhD (2005-2010) he worked (research grant of Spanish Government) in the Laser Processing Group - LPG of the Optics Institute-CSIC (Madrid) with Dr. Jan Siegel and Prof. Javier Solís. His thesis was about the study of the dynamics of plasma formation and structural modification induced by femtosecond laser pulses in the surface or bulk of different materials with femtosecond time-resolved advanced imaging techniques. He obtained a post-doc position(research grant of Spanish Government 2010-2013) in the Nanophotonics Technology Center of the Universidad Politécnica of Valencia with Dr. Alejandro Martinez. He has worked in the tailoring photon-phonon interaction in silicon Phoxonic crystals as well as in the method for the synthesis of arbitrary polarization states radiated by a nanoantenna.
