Olivier Français, Full professor, Member of ESYCOM Lab (UMR CNRS 9007, France); Head of the Health, Energy and Environment Department at ESIEE Paris - Université Gustave Eiffel

Short Bio

Olivier Francais received the Aggregation and Ph. D degrees from the Ecole Normale Supérieure de Cachan, Paris, France, both in Electrical Engineering, in 1993 and 1998 respectively. Between 1998 and 2004, he developed his research on microtechnology and microfluidics at ESIEE (Marne la Vallée, France). In 2004, he joined the CNAM (Paris, France) and worked on bio-chemical resonant sensors and microfluidics. In 2009, he had been recruited at ENS Cachan where he focused on the study of bio-microsystems and more specifically on the interaction between electric fields and biological cells within microfluidic chips.

Since 2016, he is a Full Professor at ESIEE Paris – Université Gustave Eiffel. He is head of the "Health, Energy, Environment" department where he teaches Applied Physics, Instrumentation and Micro-electronic Technologies. He conducts his research at the ESYCOM laboratory (CNRS UMR 9007) in the field of sensors for Health and Lab-On-a-Chip. He is more specifically interested in the development of interfaces for analysis of biological species within microfluidic environment, taking benefits of their dielectric properties.
