Bruno BECHE

Biography

• Bruno Bêche is professor of Physics at the University of Rennes 1, UFR Sciences and Properties of Matter and IETR of the CNRS.

He is an honorary member of the Institut Universitaire de France - IUF Paris. His teaching activities took place in several Universities (Besançon, Le Mans, Angers, Nantes and Rennes), as well as in engineering schools in France (ENSIM, Polytech'Nantes, INSA, Centrale / Sup-Elec and ESIR) , in various disciplines relating to fundamental physics, applied physics and engineering, materials physics, then photonics at all levels, namely the five years of higher education. [See recent and current teachings in the student zone Teachings & Responsibilities UEs in Collegium Science UFR SPM].

His research work began first on the development of lithium niobate-based photonic components as non-linear optical devices for second harmonic generation; he then worked on the development of nanometric structures of III-V semiconductors (multilayers epitaxied by molecular jet) for the production of telecommunications components dedicated to wavelength (de) -multiplexing and then to the production of integrated lasers ( FEMTO-ST and LAAS CNRS in France and NTT Corporation in Japan). At the University of Rennes 1 (transverse IETR CNRS 6164 in collaboration with IPR CNRS 6251), he started a new field of research, and has been working for a few years in the development of micro-resonators based on hybrid technologies that can combine use of polymers and plasma treatments, soft matter with concepts from fluidics and drops. His research work covers both the theoretical description of the physical aspects of these photonic devices (in electromagnetism) as well as the technologies, characterization and their applications as integrated sensors in fine metrology. Very recent applications relate to process measurements in soft matter such as sedimentation rate measurements, creaming, flocculation, phase transition measurements in biology and agrifood products, etc.

Since 2017, he has been Head of the Communication Department at the UFR (Faculty of Sciences of Rennes) in connection with the services relating to the dissemination of scientific culture such as SOIE, Dir Com’UR1. Through this mission, he acts as the spokesperson for the portal science training offer at UR1: management of numerous communication operations, first on the Campus in terms of organizations, then dissemination to establishments in the West (secondary high school / university link or bac -3 / + 3), not to mention the holding of annual Student Fairs in the regions (installation, logistics, participation in conferences, etc.), laboratory visits and open day at the University ... This involves journalistic work in events, writing articles, letters, then directing / filming videos and interview capsules. This pole also ensures the internal relays between the UFR Sciences and the support services relating to the dissemination and promotion of scientific culture such as the SOIE, the Dir Com'UR1 so as to be able to carry out all the Communication activities. He is currently Head of the program "Rope of Success" PASS "For a Scientific School Ambition"; the purpose of this state / SOIE-UR1 system is to introduce greater social equity in access to higher education training and in particular to selective courses.
