Maxime Jacquot

<p>Maxime Jacquot received the PhD degree in engineering sciences from the <a href="http://www.univ-fcomte.fr/">University of Franche-Comté</a> (UFC), France, in 2001. His PhD research was done in the Laboratoire d’Optique PM Duffieux (LOPMD) of Besançon and concerned digital microholography and its applications in optical metrology (interferometric holography, phase contrast imaging and microscopy). In 2002, he joined as associate professor the Laboratoire Traitement du Signal et Instrumentation (ex-LTSI, currently<a href="https://laboratoirehubertcurien.univ-st-etienne.fr/en/index.html"&gt; Laboratoire Hubert Curien</a>) of Saint Etienne, France. His research interests dealt with spectral interferometry, optical correlator. In 2006, he joined as associate professor the Optics Department of <a href="https://www.femto-st.fr/en">FEMTO-ST Institute</a>, Besançon (France). He received a Habilitation degree (HDR) in 2011 at UFC. He became full professor at UFC/<a href="http://www.ubfc.fr/">UBFC </a>in 2018.&nbsp; His research interests currently include nonlinear delay dynamics and its applications in optical chaos communications and photonic neural networks, digital holography and spatial laser beam shaping with SLM for surface micro- or nano-processing.</p><p>President of <a href="https://reseau-figure.fr/">Réseau FIGURE</a> since January 2024 - national and international network of Masters in Engineering (CMI) programmes run from 25 universities in France and in Lebanon.</p><p>Director of the Optics Dpt, FEMTO-ST Institute 2019-2024.</p><p>Vice-president of Education and learning transformation at UBFC since 2020.</p><p>Project Leader, UBFC Integrate - International Graduate Institute&nbsp; at UBFC - SFRI Program funded by ANR PIA/France 2030 since 2020.</p><p>Head of <a href="http://www.ubfc.fr/master-pics-content/">International Master PICS </a>- <a href="http://i-site.ubfc.fr/en/">ISITE BFC</a> &amp; <a href="http://gradschool.eiphi.univ-bfc.fr/">Graduate School EIPHI </a>since 2018.</p><p>Head of “Master of Excellence for Engineering” programs (period 2013 - 2019) at UFC, in charge of CMI at UFC (national label (<a href="http://reseau-figure.fr/">CMI-FIGURE network</a>/ PIA IDEFI) for a Master of Excellence for Engineering and Research, with an education program designed over 5 years, in close connection with high quality research.</p><p>Deputy Director of the Optics Dpt, FEMTO-ST Institute period: 2017-2019.</p><p>Head of Master of Engineering PICS period: 2013-2015.</p><p>Deputy Director (teaching) of the Optics Dpt, FEMTO-ST Institute, period : 2011-2016.</p><p>Head of the Master master PICS (‘Photonics, Micro-Nano-Technologies &amp; Time Frequency’), at UFC, period : 2008-2013.</p><p>&nbsp;</p>
