Professional

Positions

• Associate Professor, Aix-Marseille University, Institute of Materials, Microelectronics, Nanosciences of Provence UMR-CNRS 6242, 2005-

• Postdoctorate, Ecole Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne EPFL, Laboratory of Physics of Nanostructures, director E. Kapon, 2001-2005.

• Fabienne Michelini has worked on the theoretical/numerical building of empirical models within the k.p method to understand the electronic properties of realistic condensed-matter systems, in particular quantum-dot based semiconductor heterostructures. In parallel, she has gained a great expertise in high performance computing for large-scale numerical problems. For the last five years, she has investigated the transport properties of opened quantum structures for novel nano-devices using effective methods within the Green function formalism. She is focusing on time-dependent and non-linear responses in optoelectronic and thermoelectric effects.

• Fabienne Michelini is currently supervising a phD student on the photovoltaic effect in quantum-dot based nanosystems connected to semi-infinite one-dimensional reservoirs (A. Berbezier).
