Dr. Hubert Jean-Ruel is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Electronics at Carleton University. His primary research interests lie in the field of photonics, focusing on the development and characterization of advanced photonic sensing components and systems. He is particularly engaged in the simulation, design, and fabrication of novel multi-functional fiber Bragg grating sensor systems and fiber-optic based DNA amplification and detection methods. Additionally, his work includes the design of all-fiber Brillouin spectroscopy systems and fiber free space Fabry-Perot based optical spectrum analyzers. Dr. Jean-Ruel aims to integrate tilted fiber Bragg gratings into microfluidic lab-on-chip devices, working closely with collaborators to develop novel nanoparticle coatings and functionalizations. His applications span across biomedical devices, environmental monitoring, and fundamental research, which includes development in point-of-care diagnostics for genetic testing and early disease detection, as well as environmental sensing techniques for monitoring air, soil, and water quality. In his research, he also investigates the biomechanics of magnonic materials. Dr. Jean-Ruel actively seeks motivated undergraduate and graduate students interested in these research areas.
