Frederic Zamkotsian PhD

Frederic Zamkotsian received a Ph.D. degree in Physics in 1993 from the University of Marseilles (France). Since he has worked in the field of optoelectronics and semiconductor physics for optical telecommunication in France and Japan. In 1998, he joined the Laboratoire d’Astrophysique de Marseille where he is involved in the conception of new MOEMS devices as well as in the characterization of these components for ground-based and space telescopes. His current interests are in programmable slits for application in multi-object spectroscopy, deformable mirrors for adaptive optics, and programmable gratings for spectral tailoring.
