This book gathers a collection of papers by international experts that were presented at the International Conference on NextGen Electronic Technologies (ICNETS2-2016). ICNETS2 encompassed six symposia covering all aspects of the electronics and communications domains, including relevant nano/micro materials and devices. Highlighting the latest research on nanoelectronic materials and devices, the book offers a valuable guide for researchers, practitioners and students working in the core areas of functional electronics nanomaterials, nanocomposites for energy application, sensing and high strength materials and simulation of novel device design structures for ultra-low power applications.
Dr. Christophe Labbé is an Associate Professor at CIMAP Lab (Centre de Recherche sur les Ions, les Matériaux et la Photonique) at Caen, France in the engineering school ENSICAEN. He obtained his PhD on rare earth lasers at the Interdisciplinary Research Center Laser Ions at Caen in 1999. After a postgraduate position in Israel at the Laser Arava Laboratory of the Ben-Gurion University of the Negev, Israel on ionic matrix lasers pumped by diode, he became an assistant professor at the Laboratory of Optical Functions for Telecommunications (FOTON Lab) in Rennes, France in 2002. His ongoing research focuses on photon sources for telecommunications or visible light applications, and on photovoltaic cells.
