Career

From 1975 to 1997, Zyss worked at the CNET's Bagneux Laboratory. Subsequently he has worked in the Laboratoire de photonique quantique et moléculaire (UMR 8537), and is its former director (1998–2006). In 2002, he was the founder of the Jean-Le-Rond-d'Alembert Institute (IFR 121), and served as its director until 2015. He also founded the European Associated Laboratory (LEA NaBi), a collaboration between CNRS and the Weizmann Institute of Science in the field of nanobiotechnologies. As of 2018, he is an Emeritus professor at the École normale supérieure de Cachan.[3]

Research

His research has focused on molecular photonics. He specialises in molecular-level nonlinear optical effects.[4] These researches have linked basic physical chemistry with technologies and applications including polymers for information technology and biophotonics imaging.[5]

Awards and honours

He is an elected fellow of The Optical Society,[6] and has been awarded the Société Française de Physique's IBM prize and Yves-Rocard Award, as well as the Gay-Lussac-Humboldt-Prize (2010).[7]
