Claire Deeb received her B.S. and M.S. in Physics from BAU in Lebanon. She completed her Ph.D. from the University of Technology of Troyes in France and has acquired an international experience through working at Argonne National Laboratory (IL, USA) as a joint research scientist and Northwestern University (IL, USA) as a postdoctoral research associate. Shecurrently isa research scientist at the Centre de Nanosciences et Nanotechnologies C2N - CNRS where she conducts research in the field of optics, active plasmonics, and nanophotonics.
Claire is specialized in advancing plasmon nanolaser sources, investigating energy transfer processes at the nanoscale, and exploring the characteristics of single nano-objects. Her current interdisciplinary research focuses on exploring novel light emission processes based on electrically driven nanogap optical antennas.
She has initiated and maintained collaborations with leading groups at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign and LMU-Munich and has led many international projects. She has given 12 invited talks and has published over 14 influential papers and one book chapter. Additionally, she has received 2 PhD awards and has been serving the scientific community as an editor of Progress in Nanotechnology and Nanomaterials (PNN).
