Contact Jean-Paul Guillet

For research collaboration, terahertz instrumentation, non-destructive testing, computational imaging, component development, teaching innovation or scientific outreach, please provide enough context to identify the most useful next step.

A project enquiry should briefly describe the scientific or industrial question, the sample or system involved, the information you hope to obtain, the methods already tested, the expected timescale and any handling or confidentiality constraints. For a student or doctoral enquiry, include your current programme, relevant technical experience, research interests, preferred dates and funding context.

Biomedical enquiries should specify whether the work concerns instrumentation, ex vivo samples, data analysis or a research collaboration. This website presents exploratory research and does not provide medical advice or diagnostic services.

Before contacting

For a project discussion, briefly describe the scientific or industrial question, sample or system, expected outcome, timescale, and relevant confidentiality constraints.

For a measurement question, useful details include sample dimensions, composition, thickness, surface condition, environmental constraints, available reference data, and whether reflection or transmission access is possible. For an instrumentation or processing question, include the frequency range, acquisition format, current limitation, target metric, and data that can be shared.

Students and prospective researchers may describe their current programme, technical background, research interests, preferred timescale, and any funding framework already identified. Media and outreach requests should indicate the audience, format, deadline, and level of technical detail expected.

Review collaboration pathways, or first explore the available terahertz research expertise.

What happens after an initial message

An initial exchange may lead to a request for non-confidential sample information, a review of existing measurements, or a short discussion of physical feasibility. If the question appears suitable, the next stage can define representative samples, reference data, responsibilities, confidentiality, expected outputs, and the evidence required to decide whether the work should continue.

Not every request becomes a terahertz project. In some cases another method may provide stronger contrast, greater penetration, faster acquisition, or a more direct answer. Clarifying that point early protects time and resources and can still identify useful complementary expertise or collaboration routes.

Messages concerning an existing publication are easier to answer when they include the title or DOI and the precise question about method, data, interpretation, or collaboration. Requests for documents or images should also specify the intended use so that access and rights can be reviewed appropriately.

Contact details and affiliations should be checked regularly. Project-specific pages may identify a more appropriate route for consortium, industrial, heritage, educational, or student enquiries, while this page remains the general entry point.

Unsolicited requests should not include confidential data or sensitive sample information in the first message. A suitable exchange mechanism can be agreed after the scope, participants, and institutional requirements are understood.

Response times may reasonably depend on current teaching, research, supervision, scientific travel, administrative duties, and project commitments.
