Marco Romanelli is a Professor of Physics at Rennes University and Foton Institute. He has co-supervised 8 PhD thesis, authored or co-authored more than 40 peer-reviewed papers, 50 conference presentations, and a book chapter.
His current research interests include microwave photonics and nonlinear laser dynamics, as well as transverse and parametric effects in optical cavities.
In SpinDataCom, he is involved in the theoretical study and simulation of steady-state and time-dependent spin-V(E)CSELs behaviour.
He received his Master in Physics in 2002 at the University of Firenze, Italy, after a dissertation on the dynamics of VCSELs submitted to optical feedback in the Istituto Nazionale di Ottica. He received his PhD in 2005 from Université Paris VI, after a thesis on nonlinear and quantum effects in polariton four-wave mixing in semiconductor microcavities, in Laboratoire Kastler Brossel. He was a post-doc in the Institut de Nanosciences de Paris (INSP), Université Paris VI, and in the Laboratoire de Physique des Lasers (LPL), Université Paris XIII, where he was involved in researches on semiconductor nano-emitters and atomic vapors confined in photonics crystals. Since 2007, he has a permanent position at the Rennes University.
