John Dudley appointed senior member of the institut universitaire de France

A member of FEMTO-ST's Optics Department and professor at the University of Franche-Comté, John Dudley has been appointed to a Fundamental Chair in senior category of the Institut Universitaire de France

Created in 1991, the IUF's mission is to promote the development of high-level research in universities. Appointment to the IUF is a highly selective distinction that enables its laureates to develop a highly ambitious research programme over a five-year period.

John Dudley is known for his many contributions to the field of non-linear optics, in particular studies on supercontinuum generation, optical instabilities and extreme events.  He has recently launched a major line of research into the application of artificial intelligence techniques to ultrafast optics, and the continuation and extension of this theme will form the basis of his IUF project. His aim is to apply the interdisciplinary concepts of machine learning to the development of new intelligent photonic sources and new approaches to understanding fundamental non-linear dynamics in optics.
