Extremely happy and proud about this one - a tour de force and a scientific marathon by our outstanding PhD student Ziao Wang, Kilian Muller, and many collaborators in particular @krzakalaf.bsky.social @ldaudet.bsky.social and many at @lightonai.bsky.social,

Concluding the GRC in image science 2026 in beautiful Braga, Tuscany. 130+ participants keen on sharing insight and learn about imaging in all its diversity. See you in 2028 !

Having a great time at the « image Science » GRC in Italy, we took time for a photo with current group members, alumni, and friends of @picolablkb.bsky.social !

This articulates incredibly clearly some of the reasons I'm scared of widespread LLM usage in my corner of academia.

Time to rise and SHINE through multimode fibers! ✨ Thrilled to have contributed (albeit modesly) to this really nice work by Puxiang Lai and team. Check out the preprint here: arxiv.org/abs/2602.20562

The manga exhibition at Guimet museum 👘💯

ridiculously nice panoramic ride through the alps on my way back from Innsbruck. my moving office 🚂 >> your static office 🖥️

On my way to Innsbruck by train through Zurich - since there is no direct flight, train is (i) cheaper (~150€) (ii) faster (8.5h) and (iii) infinitely more comfortable. Looking forward to giving a colloquium and visiting old friends! 🛤️ 🗻

I've got some questions from my 11yo about black holes, which led to a long discussion and some nice youtube videos binge watching together. I must say Astronomy is a nice way to captivate kids with physics....

Completely packed amphitheater for the first lecture of Pascale Sennelart at @college-de-france.fr for her annual chair on quantum technologies !

so I have this ominous event in my calendar that says "deadline" tomorrow at 9am but I have no clue what this is... 🤷‍♂️#AcademicChatter

And 🥁 the final program of the *"Image Science" Gordon Research Conference*, to take place in Italy April 26-May 1st, is out! Please take some time to check the program, apply, *share* with your colleagues. www.grc.org/image-scienc... (1/N)

and it happened : I just came to realize I didn't fly for work in 2025 (I did fly a bit for personal reasons). It wasn't an objective per se, but just being (a bit) picky, and looking for train alternatives when possible did the trick. and I did go to IT, NL, CH, UK, GE, CZ.

A merry Christmas from the COMEDIA team at LKB !

Advanced Imaging, the journal that I have the pleasure to serve as (co)Editor-in-chief, has just published its first "interview" article, with *David Brady*, inventor of the Gigapixel camera. Read it here ! (open access) www.researching.cn/articles/OJe...

I was deeply honored to receive yesterday the Cecile DeWitt Morette Prize / Ecole des Houches / CFM foundation prize from the french @academiesciences.bsky.social, crowning a lot of hard work, creativity and fun with my team @comedialkb.bsky.social. Thank you!

It was nice visiting Willem Vos's COPS group last week ! thanks for the warm welcome and great science discussion !

📣 Venez visiter le Laboratoire Kastler Brossel, un des acteurs majeurs de la physique quantique, sur le campus Pierre et Marie Curie ! 👉 RDV les 11 et 12 octobre à la Fête de la Science de Sorbonne Université : https://swll.to/nhwZkg6 #FDS2025

Back home after a great 3-day trip to the NL, for the NNV-AMO meeting, and visiting COPS in Twente and Allard Mosk's group at U. Utrecht. No cheese this time, but I couldn't come back with a collection of great PhD thesis :-). (why do we do A4 format in France? this is soooo much better!)

Check out this upcoming symposium organized by hugo Defienne's team and us. Register here : quantumcomplex.sciencesconf.org

A strong quality for a good researcher is the ability to sometimes ignore small details, and sometimes delves into them with the greatest care, and more importantly to being able to switch wisely between the two modes.

very honored to give the opening lecture tomorrow at the NNV AMO meeting in Egmond aan Zee (NL). Very curious to see what happen if -probably- the Physics prize is announced during my lecture (probably nobody will pay attention to the second half of my lecture).

a national treasure of french science!

Very happy about this one, a great work by Baptiste Courme, and an old dream coming true : we can demonstrate a violation a Bell inequality just by sampling random polarization states from speckle field.

🚨Registrations are open for the upcoming "Image Science" Gordon research conference , to take place in Italy, April 26-May 1, 2026. Check out the amazing program, tell your friends and share, APPLY! 🚨 www.grc.org/image-scienc...

This is the end of a short visit to ETH Zurich, I was very intimidated to visit the math department (as an experimentalist) but it turned out great, thanks to my host Habib Ammari. Also great to (re)connect to colleagues in Physics, Mechanics & engineering, and enjoy a nice Picasso exhibition.🇨🇭🧀🍫

Well hidden in a small corner of the main building of ETH Zurich, they have made a mini museum for Einstein in his former locker 😍

I am a family-friendly scientist: ✅ I have published with brothers (several pairs, joint papers) ✅ I have published with father and son (separate papers) ✅ I have published with husband and wife (separate papers) not sure what's next 🤣

#NewPaper on the blend of computational microscopy with chemical imaging: enabling high-speed quantitative CARS imaging via a new compressive Raman framework. Kudos @spzhao0724.bsky.social A collaboration between @lkblab.bsky.social and @ukmlv.bsky.social from Washington Uni St.Louis rdcu.be/eCjLz

and... our program for the upcoming IMAGE SCIENCE🔬 Gordon Research Conference (GRC) is 🎯LIVE🎯. It will take place April 26, 2026 in beautiful tuscany, italy 🇮🇹 🍕 🤌 Please check our stellar line-up, share, and register! www.grc.org/image-scienc...

Always a pleasure to have the visit of our alumni! Today Michael Mounaix from U Queensland gave us a seminar on his impressive recent work on arbitrary light shaping using an MPLC, including a demonstration using the team chicken !
