He is the second C2N researcher to receive this recognition.
The research activity of Loïc Lanco at C2N focuses on light-matter interfacing at the single-photon level, using semiconductor quantum dot / cavity structures. He headed the Physics BSc of University Paris Diderot (Université de Paris) from 2014 to 2018.
The role of the IUF is to foster the development of high-level research in universities and to reinforce interdisciplinarity. Thus, it encourages the dissemination of knowledge, contributes to the increased number of women in the research sector and promotes a policy of a national scientific networking. University lecturers and researchers who are nominated are distinguished for the excellence of their scientific activity, attested by their international influence.
