J.-M. George is a research scientist (DR) at CNRS. He received the Ph.D. degree in physics from the University of Paris-Sud, Paris, in 1993, with a thesis on giant magnetoresistance under the supervision of A. Fert. He was a Postdoc at the University of Louvain la Neuve in Belgium, where he worked on magnetic nanowires, and at the University of California, San Diego, for a research in the field of superconductivity and magnetism. Since 1995, he has been a Researcher at the Laboratoire Albert Fert, a joint laboratory in between CNRS and Thales. From January 2002 to 2006 he was nominated director of French joint laboratories (GDR SESAME) focussed on spintronics with semiconductor material. His work concerns spintronics involving interfaces and materials with large spin orbit coupling for spintronic including topological insulator, Spin phenomena with semiconductor materials, Spin accumulation and spin current with metallic materials. He has directed and participated to several French ANR programs and European contract. He is currently working in research involving radiation emission from visible to THz where the conversion of spin-polarized current into radiation (visible or THz) offers new opportunities for information coding. He has published more than 160 publications in peer-reviewed international journals.
