Vincent Laude reçoit le prix IEEE Carl Hellmuth Hertz 2016

Le IEEE Carl Ellmuth Hertz Ultrasonics Award est un prix international décerné annuellement par
la société Ultrasonics, Ferroelectrics, and Frequency Control (IEEE/UFFC). Il récompense un
chercheur de 10 à 25 ans d’expérience dont les travaux ont été effectués dans le domaine de la
physique des ondes ultrasonores. Il est sélectionné par un jury international, le Ultrasonics Award
Committee, et remis chaque année lors du congrès international IEEE Ultrasonics Symposium.

“For substantial contributions to the physics of phononic crystals and of the interaction of sound and light”
La citation accompagnant la récompense remise à Vincent Laude fait état de ses « contributions
substantielles à la physique des cristaux phononiques et des interactions entre son et lumière ». Le
prix a été remis à Tours, le 19 septembre 2016, lors de la cérémonie d’inauguration du congrès
IEEE Ultrasonics Symposium 2016.
Vincent Laude est directeur de recherche au CNRS et membre du département Micro Nano
Sciences et Systèmes (MN2S) de l’Institut FEMTO-ST. Ses activités de recherche concernent la
propagation des ondes élastiques et acoustiques dans les micro et nano structures, en particulier
dans les cristaux phononiques. Ces matériaux périodiques artificiels trouvent des applications pour
l’isolation sonore, la protection contre les vibrations ou encore la téléphonie mobile. Il s'intéresse
également aux interactions entre son et lumière dans les nanostructures. Il est l’auteur du livre
« Phononic crystals: Artificial Crystals for Sonic, Acoustic, and Elastic Waves » paru chez
Degruyter en 2015 et a publié plus de 120 articles dans des revues internationales à comité de
lecture. Il a dirigé le département Micro Nano Sciences et Systèmes de FEMTO-ST de 2006 à 2009,
dont il est aujourd’hui directeur adjoint. Il exerce des fonctions d’animation scientifique au sein du
laboratoire d’excellence Action et du GDR Ondes.
