"I joined the Nanophotonics Group at FIU in 2005 as a visiting
scientist. I work on characterization of nanophotonic structures and
their application for sensing and telecommunication devices. My
research interest includes confinement and manipulation of light at
nanoscale level. I received an M.S. in electronics and
telecommunications and the Ph.D. degree in physics from Wroclaw
University of Technology, Poland, in 1996 and 2001, respectively. In
2001, I was awarded the postdoctoral NATO Science Fellowship by the
Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada to work on
fiber-optic sensors for dynamic pressure and temperature measurements
at the University of Quebec at Ottawa in Canada."

Julien transferred from Université Henry Poincarre, IUT Saint-Die (http://www.iutsd.uhp-nancy.fr/)(France)
to FIU's Electrical and Engineering Department in the College of
Engineering in January, 2000 where he completed his Bachelor of
Science. In 2002, he joined the FAST Center at FIU to pursue his master
of Science where he conducted research in the field of
superconductivity and RF MEMS devices. His work involved the design,
simulation, fabrication and test of RF devices. His thesis work was
entitled "Design and fabrication of a microwave superconducting 'T'
resonator using a microelectromechanical switch." Julien is a member
of the Nanophotonics & Nanofabrication Group since June 2005 for
his doctoral degree. He focuses his research on m icrofluidics, Raman
spectroscopy, Surface Enhance Raman Spectroscopy (SERS) and sensors
fabrication technology (lab on chip). His work involve the design,
fabrication, and testing of nano/micro electromechanical systems
(N/MENS).
Over the last 4 year, he has acquired experience in
semiconductor (IC) techniques such as photolithography, focused ion
beam, pulsed laser deposition, electron beam lithography, RF/DC
magnetron sputtering, evaporation, and reactive ion etching. He has
also realized thin film and material characterization using scanning
electron microscopy and atomic force microscopy. He is now pursuing his
PhD with the FAST center under Prof. Yuriy Vlasov.
