[4] She graduated from Pierre and Marie Curie University (Paris VI) and started working at the French National Centre for Scientific Research, where she has spent the majority of her professional career.
[5] Her PhD Thesis was on the "Study of Excited Neon Levels by Laser Spectroscopy without Doppler Effect".
[1][5][7][8][3] As part of her involvement to advocate for the future of young physicists, in 2008 she was part of a group of scientists that made the written statement La situation des femmes physiciennes en France, during the Third International Conference on Women in Physics (ICWIP2008) on which they analyzed the current situation of female physicists in France and made recommendations to improve the current state.
[9] Elisabeth Giacobino has had a prolific career with over 230 publications and over 110 invited presentations in international conferences.
[5] In 2005 she started working on electromagnetically induced transparency, light matter entanglement and development of quantum memories in atomic ensembles.
[1][11] In passive semiconductor microcavities, she demonstrated, for the first time, the emission of squeezed light and correlated beams.
[5] From 2001 to the present she has been involved in the studies of semiconductor nano-crystals, specifically on single photon generation and cavity quantum electrodynamics (QED) effects.
From 1995 to 2000 she was appointed expert for the European Commission as a member of the Physics Panel for individual (Marie Curie) fellowships and in 2000 chairperson for the Training Sites.
From 2015 to the present she has been an advisor to the ANR, the French National Research Agency, in the areas of Quantum Technologies.
