DESCRIPTION:Prof. Christophe Galland\, EPFL\, Switzerland\nBio: I studied 
 at Ecole Polytechnique in Paris (X2003) and received my PhD in 2010 from E
 TH Zürich for a thesis in solid-state quantum optics with individual carb
 on nanotubes\, in the Quantum Photonics Group of Prof. Ataç Imamoglu. As 
 a postdoctoral researcher at Los Alamos National Lab (USA) I studied the p
 hotophysics of individual nanocrystal quantum dots in the groups of Victor
  Klimov and Han Htoon. I was investigating the mechanisms responsible for 
 fluorescence fluctuations and how to control them. I then moved to the Uni
 versity of Delaware in the group of Michael Hochberg to work in the emergi
 ng field of integrated quantum optics. I was leading international project
 s such as the realisation of an on-chip source of quantum correlated photo
 ns integrating optical filters and demultiplexers. From 2013 to 2016\, I w
 as working at EPFL in the group of Prof. Kippenberg in the field of quantu
 m optomechanics with an Ambizione Fellowship of the Swiss National Science
  Foundation (SNSF). My work focused on the creation of non-classical vibra
 tional states of mesoscopic oscillators and on the amplification of vibrat
 ions in molecules. Since May 2017\, I am leading the Laboratory of Quantum
  and Nano-Optics at EPFL as an SNSF-funded professor in the Institute of P
 hysics. My team investigates light-matter interaction at the nanoscale and
  in the quantum regime\, with a focus on molecules embedded in plasmonic c
 avities and on nitrogen-vacancy centers in diamond. Applications include q
 uantum sensing and optical frequency conversion.
