CLASS:PUBLIC
DESCRIPTION:BIO\nBorn in 1975\, Mich&egrave\;le studied physics in Hannover
  (diploma thesis at the &bdquo\;Institut f&uuml\;r Atom- und Molek&uuml\;l
 physik\, Abteilung Spektroskopie&ldquo\; on the topic of &bdquo\;Long-term
  frequency stabilisation of a Nd:YAG laser system for GEO600&ldquo\;). She
  defended her PhD in Dec. 2004 at the Institute for Gravitational Physics 
 on &bdquo\;Gravitational waves in a new light: novel stabilisation schemes
  for solid state lasers&ldquo\;and was a PostDoc at the Max Planck Institu
 te for Gravitational Physics from 2005 to 2007. From 2007 to 2010\, she wa
 s a PostDoc at the University of New South Wales (Australia) in the group 
 of Elanor Huntington. In July 2010\, she returned to Hannover to take up a
  junior professorship on &bdquo\;Fundamental Noise Sources in Laser Interf
 erometers&ldquo\; within the Centre of Excellence QUEST (Quantum Engineeri
 ng and Space-Time Research). Since 2016 she is a professor of experimental
  physics at Leibniz Universit&auml\;t Hannover (LUH) and works in the fiel
 d of &bdquo\;Non-classical laser interferometry&ldquo\; and &ldquo\;Quantu
 m Control&rdquo\;. In 2017 she received the teaching award of LUH (and the
  faculty of Mathematics and Physics).\nMich&egrave\;le is a long-time memb
 er and\, since 2015\, a council member of the LIGO Scientific Collaboratio
 n (LSC). She is Dean of QUEST Leibniz Forschungsschule\, an interdisciplin
 ary faculty at LUH\, and principal investigator in two Centres of Excellen
 ce\, PhoenixD and QuantumFrontiers. She is a founding member of the German
  Centre for Astrophysics (Deutsches Zentrum f&uuml\;r Astrophysik\, DZA). 
 Her research interests are non-classical light sources (&bdquo\;squeezed l
 ight&ldquo\;)\, in particular at high frequencies\, quantum radiation pres
 sure noise reduction techniques (such as Coherent Quantum Noise Cancellati
 on)\, quantum optomechanics\, precision metrology\, and novel laser stabil
 isation techniques\, metamaterials\, as well as high-bandwidth high-effici
 ency photodetection and controls.
