He then moved to Thales headquarters in Paris, where he was in charge of strategy and acquisitions for the Communication and Command division.
A member of the board of the multinational market firm Ipsos, he also served as Chairman of the Board of ENSIMAG Grenoble, the prestigious Grande École specializing in computer science, applied mathematics and telecommunications (2016-2022) and on the board of France’s National Institute for Research in Digital Science and Technology (INRIA) from 2021 to 2022. Pierre Barnabé is a Knight of the French National Order of Merit.
Abstract:
Our industry is expected to reach $1T by 2030. By then, our society will be more connected, more energy efficient, and more intelligent than ever. As a global leader in semiconductor materials, Soitec is driving sustainability across the whole semiconductor value chain, thanks to engineered wafers that drive significant energy savings and superior performance all the way to the end user. In this talk, we will present how innovative semiconductor materials are the foundations of eco-design and why a strong global ecosystem collaboration is key to reach a sustainable future.

Benoit Charbonnier
Research engineer, CEA-Leti
Bio:
Benoit Charbonnier received his engineering degree in 1994 from Ecole Nationale Supérieure des Télécommunications de Paris and received his Ph.D. degree in 1997 on 40 Gbps soliton transmission from the same institution. In 1997, he joined Nortel Network in Harlow, UK, in the Advanced Communications group where he worked on 80 Gbps long haul transmission and then, in 2001, joined Marconi Communications to develop an Ultra-Long Haul 10 Gb/s based transmission products. In 2004, he joined Orange Labs as a research engineer, focusing on next generation optical access networks and particularly on digital signal processing applied to optical communications. In 2015, he moved to CEA-Leti, Grenoble, leading the photonics program within the French Institute of Technology Nanoelec, developing industrial partnerships to promote silicon photonics technologies. He is now in charge of neuromorphic photonics applications within the silicon photonics lab.
Abstract:
Computing with light is gathering interest recently with prospects of ultra high speed computations hence at very low power consumption per operation. Leti's Silicon Photonics Platform with integrated IIIV, Phase Change Materials and Barium Titanate is well suited to deliver high performance low power circuits for computing as well as inference.
