Summary: Universite de Franche-Comte, together with ENSMM, UTBM and CNRS, co-tutors the FEMTO-ST institute in Besancon, a leading European center for time-frequency metrology, MEMS/NEMS, and chip-scale atomic clock development. Note: the university has begun a transition toward the name Universite Marie et Louis Pasteur; both names may appear in current sources.
Notes:
Warnings: Institution recently renamed in parts of its own communications (Universite Marie et Louis Pasteur); verify current legal name before external use.
Boudot has been a permanent CNRS researcher in the Time-Frequency department of FEMTO-ST since 2008, developing compact and miniaturized atomic clocks based on coherent population trapping (CPT) in cesium vapor microcells, including all-optical, cavity-free designs that remove the traditional microwave cavity to shrink clock volume toward chip scale for GNSS, telecom and potential deep-sea seismic-sensing deployment. He received the EFTF Young Scientist Award in 2020 for this work.
