Carlos L. Garrido Alzar is an associate research professor at Time-Space Reference Systems (SYRTE) of the Paris Observatory. He earned his Ph.D. on quantum optics at the Institute of Physics of the University of São Paulo in 2002. He then held until 2005 an assistant professor position at the Danish National Research Foundation Center for Quantum Optics of the Niels Bohr Institute in Copenhagen. After a postdoctoral stay at the Institute of Optics Graduate School in France, he moved to SYRTE. There, his current research focuses on the development of guided atom interferometry on atom chips for compact inertial navigation applications.
