About

Patrice Genevet is a pioneering researcher at the intersection of nanophotonics, metasurface optics, and advanced sensing technologies, whose work has fundamentally shaped how flat, subwavelength-scale optical components are designed and deployed in real-world applications. His most cited contribution, "Nanophotonics for Light Detection and Ranging Technology" (2021, 498 citations), established a foundational framework for integrating nanophotonic principles into LiDAR systems — a technology central to autonomous vehicles and robotic vision. Building on this, Genevet has consistently pushed the boundaries of metasurface-enhanced LiDAR, developing solutions that overcome critical limitations in field of view, imaging speed, and spatial resolution, as reflected in a growing body of highly cited follow-up works. His research on on-chip structured light generation through metasurface-optoelectronic integration (88 citations) further demonstrates his versatility, bridging compact flat optics with practical photonic device engineering. Perhaps most imaginatively, his bio-inspired work mimicking arthropod compound eyes for directional 3D sensing reveals a commitment to nature-driven innovation. With over 780 cumulative citations across recent publications alone, Genevet's contributions are reshaping the future of computational imaging, autonomous sensing, and flat optics engineering.
