Lecturers

Assoc. Prof. Thierry Lepine:

Thierry Lépine got his diploma of engineering (M. Sc equivalent) in 1986, and his PhD in optics from Institut d'Optique in 1991. He spent a year at Commissariat à l'énergie atomique (CEA), 2 years at Thales Optronique SA, and he is now professor of optics at the Institut d'Optique since 1992. Both for teaching and research, he is involved in theory of optical aberrations, optical systems design and radiometry. He is the author of more than 100 publications, 4 patents, and one book about radiometry. He supervised 14 PhD students so far. He is a member of the program committees of SPIE Optical Systems Design and Japan Optical Society/Optics-photonics, Design and Fabrication. He is also visitor at the national observatory of Thailand since 2014.

Dr Christophe Buisset:

Dr Christophe Buisset received the degree of optical engineering from the Institut d’Optique Graduate School (Orsay and Saint-Etienne, France) in 2004 and his PhD in Science of the Universe in 2007 from the Université Nice Sophia Antipolis (Nice, France). Between 2007 and 2013, we worked as an engineer on the development of space optical instruments at the company Thales Alenia Space (Cannes, France). In particular, between 2009 and 2013 he was the optical architect of the cryogenic camera and of the Fourier Transform Spectrograph of the future satellite Meteosat Third Generation InfraRed Sounder (MTG IRS). Since 2013 he has been working as a researcher at the National Astronomical Research Institute of Thailand (NARIT). His work has been dedicated to the development of the NARIT Optical laboratory by initiating and leading some projects in telescope design, coronagraphy and spectroscopy.
