The Hubert Curien Laboratory is a joint research unit (UMR 5516) within Jean Monnet University in Saint Etienne (UJM), the Scientific National Research Centre (CNRS) and Institut d’Optique Graduate School (IOGS). The Hubert Curien Laboratory is the most important of all Saint-Etienne’s university research Lab with more than 240 people, with strong connections with other scientific structures within the University of Lyon or at national and international levels.
PRINCIPAL RESEARCH DIRECTIONS
The Hubert Curien laboratory is addressing scientific challenges on both fundamental and applicative aspects in (1) Optics-Photonics-Surfaces with longstanding skills on radiation/laser - matter interaction and micro and nano structuration, including ultrafast laser processing and aiming at both modifying beams to functionalize or structure the matter, and structuring matter to manipulate the light in (2) Computer science, Image and Security with an expertise in the formation, understanding and analysis of images, in machine learning and complex data analysis, as well as in hardware security.
The research activity is supported by several high-tech shared technical platforms and is developed within 6 teams: Functional materials and surfaces, Laser-Matter Interaction, Materials for Optics and Photonics in Extreme Radiative Environments, Image Science & Computer Vision, Data Intelligence, and Secure Embedded Systems & Hardware Architectures. All teams are involved in Manutech-SLEIGHT Graduate School, as described below.

- LabEx PRIMES, dedicated to research in Physics, Radiobiology, Medical Imaging and Simulation;
- LabEx MILYON, working on problematics linked to Mathematics and Informatics, on the Lyon-Saint-Etienne site.
The laboratory acts as an active member of the EquipEx Manutech-USD with activity transfer on laser surfaces processing and beam shaping. Strong connections and common interests with the SAINBIOSE and BiiO laboratories also exist on bio-engineering, with for instance the cofounding of the company Keranova or the recent European Innovation Council funding for the LaserImplant project. The Hubert Curien Laboratory is also a co-founder of the joint laboratory LabH6 with the company iXblue.
The Hubert Curien Laboratory participates in or leads many national ANR programs and European projects, and is a member of three CNRS research federations:
- Inge'LySE, the Lyon - Saint-Etienne engineering research federation;
- FRAMA, André-Marie Ampère research federation;
- FIL, the Lyon informatics federation.
The laboratory is involved in many international partnerships, including the Center of Research in Photonics of the University of Ottawa (Canada), University of Berkeley's laboratories (USA), the University Nova-Gorica (Slovenia), the University of Palermo (Italy), Politecnico Bari (Italy), Max-Born Institute (Germany), Yale University (USA), University of Alberta (Canada), KU Leuven (Belgium), to cite a few.
The Manutech-SLEIGHT Graduate School covers the whole spectrum of scientific topics addressed by the Hubert Curien Laboratory, from the radiation-matter interaction and micro and nano structuration to the formation, understanding and analysis of images, machine learning, data mining, as well as hardware security. Therefore, the teams of the laboratory are involved in the three scientific axes of the graduate school.
FUNCTIONAL MATERIALS AND SURFACES
Such developments are based on the design and the electromagnetic modelling of the interaction between waves and micro-nano-structures. Realisations classically employ common planar photolithography and associated techniques.

LASER-MATTER INTERACTION
The thrust is to investigate laser-induced phenomena on ultimate scales, spatially and temporally, and to explore the possibilities of practical applications, accompanying their transfer in industrial environments, namely in mechanics, optics, sensing, or counterfeiting.
