Prof. Thierry BOSCH was born in 1965. He got his Ph. D from National Institute of Applied Science of Toulouse (INSAT) in 1992. In 1993, he joined the Department of Automatic Control and Production Systems at the Engineering School of Mines of Nantes, as an Assistant Professor. He was a head of group on optoelectronics, instrumentation and sensors from 1993 to 2000.
He is presently professor in the Engineering School ENSEEIHT of Toulouse. Formerly Director of Electronics Laboratory of ENSEEIHT (2001-2006), he is nowadays Director of the Laboratory of Optoelectronics for Embedded Systems and Research Coordinator of ENSEEIHT.
His research interests are related to laser industrial instrumentation development including range finding techniques, vibration and velocity measurements. He has cooperated in several programs of R&D with European companies active in the areas of sensor design, metrology, transportation or avionics.
He has co-authored more than 30 papers in archival journals. He has also been invited to author the chapter dedicated to the optical feedback interferometry published in the Encyclopedia of Sensors (2006).
He has organized several national and international meetings either as a Chairman or a Steering/Program Committee member.He has been Guest co-Editor for Journal of Optics (June 1998, November 2002) and Optical Engineering (January 2001) on Distance Measurements by Laser Techniques and chaired the International Conference ODIMAP in 1997. With Prof. Marc Lescure, he has edited the Milestone Volume entitled " Selected Papers on Laser Distance Measurements " published by SPIE in 1995.
He is nowadays Senior Member IEEE, Chairman of the IEEE Instrumentation & Measurement Technical Committee " Laser & Optical Systems ".
