Cedric Robert is a tenured researcher (CR2 – Chargé de Recherche) at CNRS since 2016. He is a former student of Ecole Normale Supérieure de Cachan (ENS Cachan). He got the agrégation (french highly competitive teaching qualification) of applied physics in 2009, the master degree of physics at Université Paris XI in 2010 and the PhD degree of INSA Rennes in 2013 for his work on “III-V nanostructures on GaP for lasing emission on Si”. He then moved to the Tyndall National Institute (Cork, Ireland) to work as a postdoctoral fellow in the III-V Materials and Devices group of Brian Corbett where he developed fabrication processes of III-V light emitters (lasers and microLEDs) transfer-printed on Si. In 2015, he joined the Quantum Optoelectronics group in Toulouse where he started to study the electronic and optical properties of transition metal dichalcogenides monolayers.
