Ngoc Diep Lai obtained a Ph.D. degree in laser physics at the University of Rennes 1 (France) in 2003. He spent 4 years at the National Chung Cheng University (Taiwan) for his first Postdoctoral Research. His work focused on studies of nonlinear properties of polymer materials and nanotechnologies for fabrication of polymer-based photonic crystals. In 2007, he joined the Quantum Nanophotonics Research Group of the Quantum Photonics and Molecular Laboratory (now becomes LUMIN laboratory) of the École Normale Supérieure de Cachan (now called ENS Paris-Saclay), France. He worked towards the optimization of single photons source, coherent manipulation of single-electron spin associated to color center in diamond, and super-resolution imaging techniques. He is hired in 2009 at ENS Paris-Saclay as an Assistant Professor and he became an Associate Professor in 2013. His current research focuses on elaboration of magneto/photonic/plasmonic and quantum nanostructures by optical lithography technique and various applications. He has supervised and co-supervised 15 PhD students in the domain of the photonic crystals and nonlinear photonic crystals, optical and magnetic manipulations of single solid-state emitters, plasmonics and laser. He is co-authored 87 peer-review articles, 4 book chapters, and 22 proceedings papers. He is actually a coordinator of the PhysEnBio international master programme of the University Paris-Saclay, France.
