The DCI has recruited excellent teachers from all over the world and has a stable international team from many countries. Two-thirds of the professional courses and all the core courses are taught by international teachers, including teachers from the CNAM. Recently, CNAM sent Dr. Mark Plimmer, a physicist, to teach students. Let's get to know this teacher, Dr. Plimmer!

The course Dr. Plimmer taught to the students of the Institute isThe Science of Circuits: Analog Devices.

Dr. Plimmer graduated from Birmingham University in 1985 with a Bachelor’s degree in Physics with the first-class honor.

His doctoral thesis at the University of Oxford (1985-89) was entitled Laser Spectroscopy of Atomic Systems.

After postdoctoral work at Yale University (1989-91) and Ecole Normale Supérieure (1991-1995), he became a lecturer in instrumentation at the CNAM, Paris, a post he has held for most of the time ever since.

From the year 2004 to 2007, he was a visiting scientist at University of Oxford where he worked with Prof. Joshua Silver first on laser spectroscopy of highly charged ions, then on vision self-correction using adjustable spectacles.

Although Dr. Plimmer’s research activities are diversified, his primary interest is atomic physics. Since re-joining CNAM as a full-time staff in 2007, Dr. Plimmer has been a visiting scientist in several laboratories, notably the National Physical Laboratory, UK, and NIM and TIPC-CAS, China.

He is the author of 42 papers in international peer-reviewed journals, and has published more than 100 papers in total, including conference minutes, posters, and seminars (in both French and English).

Thank you very much！The DCI always welcomes you！
