Curriculum Vitae:
Philippe Tamarat obtained his Ph.D. in single molecule spectroscopy, supervised by Michel Orrit in the University of Bordeaux. He was appointed Assistant Professor in 1997, where he performed pioneering studies on quantum optics with single molecules, and on the detection of single metallic nanoparticles. In 2005, he was awarded a fellowship from the Alexander von Humboldt foundation to spend a sabbatical year in the Physical Institute of Stuttgart, where he focused on all-optical coherent manipulations of a single spin state in diamond. He became Professor of the Bordeaux University in 2006. For his investigations in photophysical properties of individual nano-objects and their applications in quantum optics and condensed matter physics, he was nominated in 2010 member of the “Institut universitaire de France”.
