Prof. Christophe Caucheteur
Christophe Caucheteur is head of the Advanced Photonic Sensors ERC Unit at the University of Mons in Belgium. He holds a master degree in electrical engineering (2003) and PhD degree in applied sciences (2007) from the Faculté Polytechnique de Mons. He was recipient of an ERC Starting grant from 2011 to 2016. His research activities focus on the study and development of fiber Bragg grating sensors, especially plasmonic biosensors based on gold-coated tilted fiber Bragg gratings. He is regularly involved in the organization of international events, including the co-chairing of EWOFS (European Workshop on Optical fibre Sensors) in 2023 and the technical program co-chairing of BGPP (Bragg Gratings, Photosensitivity and Poling in optical materials and waveguides) in 2024. He is the co-founder of the spin-off company B-SENS (www.b-sens.be).
