Biography

Claude Guet is a visiting Professor at the Nanyang Technological University, Singapore, Programme Director for Research & Students at the Energy Research Institute at NTU (ERIAN). He is also attached to the School of Materials Science and Engineering.

He is Senior Advisor to the CEO of CEA (French Alternative Energies and Atomic Energy Commission). During his career at CEA, he had been (as time goes backwards) Director of Nuclear Education and Training, the Chief of Staff of the High Commissioner for Atomic Energy, Chief of Science of the Military Nuclear Applications Division, Head of the Department of Theoretical Physics of this Division, Head of the Atomic Physics Laboratory of the Physical Science Division.

Holding a Doctorat d'Etat from University Joseph Fourier in Grenoble, he conducted his research activities at: CEA, Institut Laue Langevin, Institute of Theoretical Physics at Regensburg, the Niels Bohr Institute in Copenhagen, Institute for Theoretical Atomic and Molecular Physics at Harvard, Yukawa Institute of Theoretical Physics at Kyoto ...

His research achievements include theoretical and experimental contributions to nuclear physics, atomic physics and nanophysics. The guideline of his research is quantum many-body physics of finite fermionic systems. Presently he works of the optoelectronic properties of both metallic clusters and semi-conducting quantum dots. He is the author or co-author of more than 120 peer-reviewed papers with more than 5600 citations and an H-index of 38.

Claude Guet has worked closely with IAEA on nuclear knowledge management, setting up recommendations and assessing nuclear education programmes in numerous countries.

Claude GUET has been given the French awards of «Chevalier dans l'ordre de la Légion d'honneur» and «Chevalier dans l'ordre des Palmes académiques»
