Biography

Jérôme Kasparian is an investigator in Jean-Pierre Wolf's group at the Laboratoire de spectrométrie ionique et moléculaire (LASIM), part of France's Centre national de la recherche scientifique and Université Claude Bernard Lyon 1. He received his Ph.D. in 1997 at the LASIM, where he studied lidar remote sensing and the optical properties of aerosols. He then joined the Institute for Optics and Quantum Electronics at the Friedrich Shiller Universität in Jena, Germany, where his main interest was the nonlinear optics and propagation of ultrashort, high-power laser pulses through the atmosphere. He participated in launching the French-German Teramobile collaboration before returning to Lyon as the coordinator of this project.
