Career

Abdallah Ougazzaden started his research activity with a doctoral thesis at Centre national d'études des télécommunications (CNET) in France telecom. His doctorate work led to the development of the first semiconductor lasers at 1.3 um in France and to the transfer of this technology to Alcatel CIT. After his doctorate he joined CNET/France Telecom as a researcher where he developed original design of Multiquantum well lasers and electroabsorber modulators at emission wavelength 1.3 micron [5] and 1.5 um [6] for fiber communication. He then joined Opto+, the former joint venture between France Telecom and Alcatel. In 1999 he was hired by Bell Labs/Lucent Technologies in the United States as a Technical Manager. In 2002 he joined Agere Systems (a spinoff of Lucent technologies), and later on TriQuint Semiconductor. In 2003 he returned to France and became a professor at the University of Metz and deputy director of LMOPS, [7] a joint lab between the High Engineering School Supélec (now CentraleSupélec) and University of Metz (now University of Lorraine).

In 2005, Ougazzaden joined the Georgia Institute of Technology as full professor at the School of Electrical and Computer engineering (ECE). He worked with the CNRS (The French National Center for Science) and Georgia Tech to establish France's first International Joint Research Laboratory, GT-CNRS UMI 2958. The lab is located at Georgia Tech-Europe, and he has served as its director from 2006 to 2018.

In 2008, he was the chair and organizer of the XIV IC-MOVPE conference in Metz, France. In 2010 he was appointed director of Georgia Tech–Lorraine (now, Georgia Tech-Europe [8] ), the European campus of Georgia Tech in Metz, France. [9] In 2014 he co-founded the Institut Lafayette [10] and became its co-president. [11]

Georgia Tech announced on May 11, 2021 [12] his nomination as President of Georgia Tech Europe starting July 1st 2021.
