Prof. Destouches graduatedin 1998 as an engineer in opticsfromEcole Nationale Supérieure de Physique de Marseille, France. She received her Ph. D. degree from the University Aix-Marseille III and was a postdoctoral fellow at the Laboratory of Glasses, Montpellier. In 2002 she joined the University Jean Monnetand University of Lyon where she is currently professor.She is the coordinator of master degree Optics Image Vision Multimedia.She also serves as the scientific leader of the division "Perception engineering & white light processing" of the Laboratory of Excellence MANUTECH-SISE. In 2014 and 2016-2017, she was affiliate at the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, CA, USA to develop a collaborative work on in operando optical and X-ray characterization of laser-induced self-organization mechanisms.
Her research experience is multidisciplinary from optics and photonics to materials and characterized by multiscale studies both in space and time. She focuses on nanostructured plasmonic materials and exploits their properties at the nanoscale to provide materials and devices with innovative macroscopic functions. She uses light to trigger self-organization mechanisms and to produce periodic metallic nanostructures. Her fundamental research deals with modeling and in operando characterization of laser-induced processes. She also develops applications of her research with industrial partners.
