Dr. Patrice Salzenstein speaks French (mother tongue), English and Russian fluently. He obtained his Master degree and material science engineering diploma at EUDIL in Lille (France) in 1993, and his PhD Doctorate in Electronics at the University of Sciences and Technologies of Lille (France) in 1996. Between 1996 and 2001 he worked near Paris, France, at Thomson CSF LCR (now Thales-TRT), Alcatel Alsthom Recherche, LCIE private research laboratories. He managed a calibration laboratory (phase noise and short term stability of frequency) between 2002 and the beginning of 2012. He has been working since 2001 at FEMTO-ST institute in Besancon for CNRS, a government-funded research organization under administrative authority of France's Ministry of research. In 2010, one of his articles was featured in Electronics Letters for his participation with Czech and Swiss colleagues to the best frequency stability ever measured on a quartz crystal oscillator: 2.5×10-14 at 5 MHz. Between 2010 and 2017, his fields of interest in research were for optoelectronic resonators and oscillators for microwaves photonics applications. Still working at CNRS, he is now with the Micro nano Science & Systems department of FEMTO-ST laboratory. His current interest is in Brillouin Scattering Stimulation.
