We study the properties of diverse photonic systems such as metamaterials, photonic crystals and plasmonic systems. Our expertise lies in the use and development of numerical codes in optics, coupled with models combining classical and quantum electrodynamics to study innovative and applied photonic systems. Particular attention is paid to machine learning developments in photonics, as well as to applications geared towards "green photonics".
Our values
At the Michaël Lobet Research Group, passion drives us to immerse ourselves in optics, to seek breakthroughs in the applied and fundamental science of light that challenge the status quo.
We achieve these goals through our strengths in optics, nanophotonics, analytical developments, simulations and the design of new materials. Through these efforts, we maintain a team environment of excellence focused on personal growth and rooted in training the next generation of photonics researchers.
Our watchwords

Transparancy is the best ally to trust
Transparency is the best ally of trust.
Too poor to pay twice
Producing high-impact scientific work and striving for excellence through collaborations.
Work hard, play hard
The team meets regularly for team-building activities and networking events in a more relaxed atmosphere.
The magic happens outside your comfort zone
In research, we must dare to take unusual paths to explore new ideas.
Be SMART
We believe that having clearly defined objectives (using SMART methodology) helps to achieve them. We set and review these objectives twice a year.
