Guillaume Vienne

Guillaume Vienne has a diverse work experience spanning multiple companies and research institutions. Guillaume is currently working at UnitySC as the Photonics Technology Leader, a role they assumed in July 2021. In this position, they are responsible for the development of machines for inspection and metrology of semiconductors, with a focus on dark-field machines. Their work involves new optical designs and coordination with specialists in various areas.

Prior to their current role, Guillaume worked at Data Storage Institute (A*STAR) as a Scientist from July 2009 to September 2017. Their work centered around the interaction of light with nanostructures, including projects related to heat assisted magnetic recording and metamaterials.

From January 2014 to January 2017, Guillaume served as an Adjunct Associate Professor at Nanyang Technological University, where they conceived and taught a graduate course on optics and photonics.

Before that, Guillaume worked as an Associate Professor at Zhejiang University in China from September 2005 to November 2009, focusing on the development of nanowire based devices and leading a research project on micro- and nanofiber based resonators.

Guillaume also held the position of Research Fellow at the Chinese University of Hong Kong from September 2004 to August 2005, where they established a biophotonics laboratory and worked on the development of biosensors.

Earlier in their career, Guillaume worked as a Researcher at DTU - Technical University of Denmark from October 2003 to March 2004, focusing on the development of new structures for photonic bandgap fibers.

Guillaume also served as a Research Scientist at NKT Photonics (formerly Crystal Fibre A/S) from September 2000 to August 2003, where they worked on the process development for the fabrication of microstructured fibers and loss reduction in index guiding photonic crystal fibers.

Additionally, Guillaume has experience as an Invited Lecturer at Université de Bourgogne, where they were involved in laboratory supervision and tutorials for physics students, and as a Research Engineer at Hoya, where they worked on the development of a new type of fiber laser.

Earlier in their career, Guillaume worked as a Research Associate at the University of Southampton. Their projects included the fabrication of cladding pumped fibers for the High Radiance Fiber Sources project, as well as the development of erbium-ytterbium codoped fibers.

Overall, Guillaume Vienne has extensive experience in photonics, with a focus on optical design, inspection and metrology of semiconductors, and the interaction of light with nanostructures.

Guillaume Vienne obtained their Ph.D. in Electronics Engineering from the University of Southampton from 1993 to 1997. Prior to that, they pursued a Tripartite Degree within Europe specializing in Telecom at the University of Essex from 1989 to 1990. Additionally, they completed their Ingenieur degree in Telecom at ESIEE PARIS from 1984 to 1990. In 1988 and 1989, they also pursued another Tripartite Degree within Europe specializing in Telecom at the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT).
