Researchers:

Dr. Laurent FESQUET

Position: Associate professor (Maitre de conference) at INPG (institut National Polytechnique de Grenoble), HDR

Laurent Fesquet received his engineering degree in physics from the  Ecole Nationale Superieure de Physique de Strasbourg  in 1993. The following year he obtained a teaching degree (agregation) in applied physics from the  Ecole Normale Superieure de Cachan . He was in charge in 1995 of electronics and inertial navigation systems lectures at the french Navy instruction center in Toulon. Then he joined the LAAS laboratory in Toulouse where he worked on photonic subsystems integration in multiprocessor communication networks. He received his PhD in electrical engineering in 1997 in Toulouse. Since 1999, he is associate professor at INPG and is currently working on asynchonous electronics in the TIMA laboratory. Since 2000, he is Chair of the French IEEE-SSCS Chapter.
