J.-F. Lampin received the Engineering degree from the Institut Supérieur d’Electronique du Nord, Lille, France in 1994, and the PhD degree from Lille University in 1997. He was a post-doctoral researcher with the Laboratoire d’Optique Appliquée, Palaiseau France, where he was involved in the study of electron relaxation using pump-probe techniques based on femtosecond lasers. Since 1998 he is a Research Scientist with the Institute of Electronics Microelectronics and Nanotechnology (IEMN), Villeneuve d’Ascq, France. Since 2015 he is CNRS Research Director. Since almost 20 years his research activities concern THz generation and detection via optical and electronic ways: subpicosecond lifetime semiconductors, THz generation/detection with femtosecond lasers, THz devices characterization, photomixing with ultrafast photodiodes, THz transmission lines and antennas, THz lasers. He is also involved in THz applications: spectroscopy, telecommunications and near-field optical microscopy. Since 1994 he has published and co-authored more than 150 journal and conference papers, and 4 patents.
