Benjamin Wetzel

Benjamin Wetzel was born in Besançon, France in 1986. He received the M.Sc. and Ph.D. degrees in optics and photonics from University of Franche-Comté, Besançon, France, in 2009 and 2012, respectively. His M.Sc. research held in Tyndall National Institute, Cork, Ireland, was focused on semiconductor laser injection stabilities and dynamics. His Ph.D. research was carried out in FEMTO-ST Institute where he studied, nonlinear dynamics and instabilities in optical fiber propagation, supercontinuum generation as well as complex dynamical systems. In 2013, he started a postdoctoral position in FEMTO-ST where he is currently working on femtosecond ablation, non-diffracting beams spatial shaping and graphene photonics.
