Senior Expert in Operational Safety, André Cabarbaye is the CEO of Cab Innovation, a small company that develops Software in optimisation and reliability. Author of numerous scientific articles during his work at the French National Space Agency (CNES), he also created the working groups “Sûreté de Fonctionnement” of the Occitanie region and on LinkedIn.
In 2004, he became associate professor in University of Bordeaux in Physical department. He has primarily worked in the mechanical simulation of complete laser module structure to characterize the stress after manufacturing process. The evaluation of failure mechanisms using both electro-optical analyses and finite element simulation has been performed. The main activities are composed on physics of failure from materials to devices. Actual research are based on the smart lighting applications as LiFi, Augmented reality,… based on the short pulse (< 1us) in overcurrent (> 10 Inom) biased conditions.

Sylvain Girard joined the CEA, France, in 2004, to develop radiation-hardened optical technologies and components for megajoule class lasers, civil and military applications. Since 2012, Sylvain is Full-Professor at UJM, managing industrial, European and national projects to design radiation tolerant cameras, fiber and fiber-based sensors. He is today the head of the LabH6 Joint Research Laboratory between the UJM, the CNRS and iXBlue on this research topic. He has published 195 journal papers, 2 book chapters, 5 patents. He is the recipient of the 2013 IEEE NPSS Early Achievements and of the 2014 IEEE Léon-Nicolas Brillouin Awards.

Antoine Monmayrant graduated in physics from the Ecole Polytechnique in 2001. He later made a PhD on coherent laser-matter interaction and the use of shaped ultrashort pulses to manipulate atomic states.
After a postdoc on ultrafast lasers, he joined the CNRS in 2007 at LAAS-CNRS in the PHOTO.
His current research is centered on photonic crystals and subwavelength photonic structures for integration and embedding of new optical functionnalities.
In particular he studied self-collimating photonic crystals for light guiding without optical waveguides and guided-mode resonance filters for space applications.

Dr. Frederic Van Dijk is leading the “near infrared optronic devices” group within III-V Lab that is working on design, fabrication and characterisation of III-V semiconductor laser sources, photodetectors and photonic integrated circuits covering the 700 nm to 1700 nm range for optical analog signal distribution, high speed data sampling, LIDAR systems, free-space optical transmissions, atomic clocks. He is in particular involved in studies on high power laser sources at 1.5 µm, and photonic integrated circuits for microwave and remote sensing.

Massimo Vanzi is Full Professor of Electronics at the University of Cagliari, Sardinia, Italy, since 1992, after one decade in a telecom company, always working on Quality and Reliability of electron and photon devices.
He followed and contributed to the growth and assessment of Physical Reliability, including Failure Physics and Logics of Diagnostics along 30 years. He is member of the Steering Committee of the ESREF Symposium.
He launched in 2009 and chaired up to 2012 the first editions of ISROS in Cagliari, Sardinia. He is the official delegate of the University of Cagliari for Aerospace.
