François Courvoisier, lauréat d'une bourse ERC Consolidator Grants, reçoit le prix Aimé Cotton

Décerné chaque année par la société française de physique (SFP) à un jeune physicien dont les travaux sont considérés comme particulièrement novateurs, le prix Aimé Cotton revient cette année à François Courvoisier, chargé de recherche CNRS au sein de l’institut FEMTO-ST (département d’Optique) pour ses recherches visant à contrôler la propagation de l’impulsion laser de haute intensité à l’intérieur des matériaux pour le micro et nano usinage par laser femtoseconde. Il est par ailleurs lauréat d'une bourse ERC Consolidator Grants 2015 (projet PULSAR).
