Dr. Sébastien Plissard received his Ph.D. degree in Micro & Nano Electronics from the Grenoble Institute of Technologies, France, in 2007. In the last 10 years his research has revolved around the development of high mobility 2D heterostructures, the growth of III-V materials, and their characterizations: X-ray diffraction, SEM, TEM, photoluminescence and Hall Effect measurements. Resulting from these studies, a new semiconductor optical amplifier at 1.7 micron was developed in collaboration with Thales and an original process of III-V integration on silicon was reported. In October 2010, he joined the Photonics and Semiconductor Nanophysics (PSN) group at TU/ Eindhoven to develop in collaboration with researchers from TU/ Delft high mobility nanowires grown by metal organic vapour phase epitaxy. These InSb nanowires used in qubits and Majorana devices allowed the measurements of first signatures of Majorana fermions (Science 2012). Finally, in December 2013, he was hired by the LAAS‐CNRS laboratory in Toulouse as a senior independent scientist (CR2 CNRS) and contributed the growth of low bandgap III-V nanowires integrated on silicon.
