Vapour cell atomic clocks and the measurement of time
Biography:
GM received his Diploma degree in physics at EPFL (Switzerland), in 1990 and his Ph.D. degree at the University of Neuchâtel (UniNe) in 1995. From 1991 to 1995 and from 1997 to 2006, he was a research scientist at Observatoire Cantonal de Neuchâtel, where he became group leader in 2001. From 1995 to 1997, he was a guest scientist at NIST, Boulder (CO, USA). In 2007, he co-founded the Laboratoire Temps-Fréquence (LTF) at UniNe, where he is a Professor of physics. His research interests include atomic spectroscopy, stabilized lasers, and frequency standards. He took part in the development of space-qualified and industrial lamp-pumped Rb clocks (1991-1995) and of the Swiss primary Cs fountain (1999-2001). His group has demonstrated innovative and state-of-the-art compact and miniature vapor-cell atomic frequency standards. He is co-author of approximately 300 scientific communications, including 63 peer-reviewed articles. He is a member of the Scientific & Executive Committees of the EFTF.
