From 2005 to 2007, Marc Bescond was Associate Professor of Electrical Engineering and Physics at Grenoble INP. Before attending Grenoble, he was post-doc in the Device Modelling Group at the University of Glasgow. In October 2007, he became researcher at CNRS ("chargé de recherche"). Between 2017 and 2021, he was International researcher at LIMMS/Institute of Industrial Science at the University of Tokyo. He is now Research Director at CNRS. His research interest is in the modelling of nano/opto-electronic devices, three-dimensional simulations of quantum transport using the non-equilibrium Green’s function formalism.
