Biography

Olivier J.F. Martin received M.Sc. and Ph.D. degrees in physics in 1989 and 1994, respectively, from the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology, Lausanne (EPFL), Switzerland. In 1989, he joined IBM Zurich Research Laboratory, where he investigated the thermal optical properties of semiconductor laser diodes. From 1994 to 1997, he was a research staff member at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology, Zurich (ETHZ). In 1997, he received a Lecturer fellowship from the Swiss National Science Foundation (SNSF). During the period from 1996 to 1999, he spent a year and a half in the U.S.A. as an invited scientist at the University of California in San Diego (UCSD). In 2001, he received a Professorship grant from SNSF and became a Professor of Nano-Optics at ETHZ. In 2003, he was appointed Professor of Nanophotonics and Optical Signal Processing at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology, Lausanne (EPFL), where he currently heads the Nanophotonics Metrology Laboratory. He was the Director of the EPFL Doctoral Program in Photonics from 2005 to 2017 and the Director of the EPFL Microengineering Section from 2016 to 2020. He has conducted significant reforms to the study plan and introduced a new EPFL Master’s in Robotics.
