LEMAITRE AUGER Pierre

Activités / CV

Pierre Lemaître-Auger received a B. Eng. and a M. Sc. A. degrees from the École Polytechnique de Montréal, Canada, in 1992 and 1994 respectively in physical engineering. He obtained his doctor degree in Optoelectronics and Microwave from the Institut National Polytechnique de Grenoble, France, in 1998. He joined the French engineering school Grenoble INP - Esisar and the Laboratoire de Conception et d’Intégration des Systèmes (LCIS) Laboratory in 1998 as an associate professor. He participated to the creation of that engineering school, and especially to the elaboration of its teaching program in physics. He directed the Department of Physics from 1997 to 2006, and during the period 2006 to 2009, he was the Director of Study of Grenoble INP - Esisar. In 2010-2011, he was visiting professor at the École Polytechnique de Montréal in the Poly-Grames Microwave Research Center, working with the Prof. Christophe Caloz. In 2013, he started to co-lead the International Relations of Grenoble INP – Esisar and he became Head of that service in 2014 up to September 2019.

His first research topics concerned integrated optics on glass substrates for sensing applications. From 2004 to 2010, he actively participated to the creation of a French startup company specialized in optical sensors. In 2006, he started to switch his research activities to radiofrequency. He now works on radiofrequency wave generation and propagation: antennas, focusing array antennas, frequency selective surface, localized waves and sensing. He is the author and co-author of 1 book, more than 100 journal papers, letters, or international conferences and invited conferences. He is also the co-author of 6 patents. His work on wall-paper blocking WiFi signals won several French awards.
