Nathalie DESTOUCHES

Nathalie Destouches graduated as an engineer in optics from the National School of Physics of Marseille, France, in 1998. She obtained her PhD degree at Fresnel Institute in 2001 and got a postdoctoral fellowship at the Laboratory of Glasses in Montpellier for one year.
In 2002, she joined Jean Monnet University where she is currently a Professor. She recently went on two long stays as a guest researcher at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, CA, USA, to develop a collaborative work on in operando optical and X-ray characterisation of laser-induced self-organisation mechanisms.
