Rodolphe Antoine received his Ph.D. in Molecular Physics from The University of Lyon (Michel Broyer). He was a postdoctoral researcher at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology Lausanne, EPFL, in nonlinear optics at interfaces (Hubert H. Girault). His background spans atomic and molecular physics, laser spectroscopy and physical chemistry. He has broad, multi-disciplinary interests in both experimental and computational avenues of research related to nanoclusters. He is currently a research group leader focusing on the structure and dynamics of proteins, nanoclusters, and nanoparticles at the Institut Lumière Matière at the University of Lyon and CNRS.
