In 2016, I earned my PhD from Ecole Polytechnique, where I pioneered vacuum electron emission spectroscopy techniques for blue LEDs and developed a novel framework for studying Anderson localization in wide-bandgap nitride semiconductors.

Throughout my career, which has spanned several institutions like Harvard University, UC Santa Barbara and Istituto Italiano di Tecnologia, I have made seminal contributions in nanophotonics. My postdoctoral work at Harvard led to significant breakthroughs in semiconductor laser frequency combs and active mid-infrared photonics.

At the Istituto Italiano di Tecnologia, I combined metasurfaces with solid-state lasers, resulting in new achievements in ultrafast optics and structured light.
Currently, as a principal investigator at INESC MN, faculty member at Técnico Lisboa and an associate researcher at Harvard, my group is pioneering the integration of meta-optics and laser-systems for applications ranging from high-power laser-matter interactions and holography to photonics-based AI and frequency combs.
