Julien Javaloyes was born in Antibes, France in 1977. He obtained his M.Sc. in Physics at
the Ecole Normale de Lyon and the PhD in 2003 (cum laude) in Physics at the Institut Non
Linéaire de Nice working on recoil induced instabilities and self-organization processes in cold
atoms. He worked on the bifurcation analysis of delayed dynamical systems and the dynamics
of coupled semiconductor lasers at the Université Libre de Bruxelles. He then joined the
interdisciplinary physics department of the IMEDEA as a Juan de La Cierva
research Fellow where he worked on VCSEL polarization dynamics and later on semiconductor ring lasers in collaboration with the university of Glasgow where he was appointed Research Fellow in 2008. Here he developed a traveling wave modeling approach for the study of monolithic mode-locked semiconductor lasers. Finally, he joined in 2010 the Physics Department of the Universitat de les Illes Balears as a Ramón y Cajal fellow where he created a group of nonlinear wave dynamics with several other researchers. His research interests include in general laser dynamics, pattern formations and bifurcation analysis. Since 2018, he is associate professor in Photonics at the UIB. His research interests include general laser dynamics, pattern formations, time delayed systems and bifurcation analysis.
