Laurent Nony is Associate Professor (Maître de Conférences Hors Classe) in Physics at Aix-Marseille Université (France) and a member of the Institute of Materials, Microelectronics and Nanosciences of Provence (IM2NP, CNRS UMR 7334, France), where he is currently leading the "Nanostructuration" research group.

He received his Ph.D. in Physics from the University of Bordeaux (France) in 2000 and subsequently held post-doctoral research positions at the IBM Zurich Research Laboratory (Switzerland) and the University of Basel (Switzerland), before joining Aix-Marseille Université in 2005. He obtained his Habilitation (HDR) in 2013.

His research activities focus on experimental and computational nanophysics, scanning probe microscopy, signal acquisition, instrumentation, and data analysis. Throughout his academic career, he has supervised numerous student projects and developed original scientific instrumentation as well as numerical simulation tools.

For more than twenty years, he has taught physics, instrumentation, numerical methods, signal processing, sensors, and scientific computing at undergraduate and graduate levels. He has also created a wide range of pedagogical resources, including lecture notes, laboratory projects, online courses, and educational videos.

His teaching philosophy emphasizes the connection between theory, experimentation, and practical implementation. This course monograph reflects that approach by combining conceptual explanations with concrete MATLAB and Python/NumPy examples, enabling students to develop both intuition and practical skills in signal processing.

He is the author, or co-author, of more than 50 peer-reviewed research articles, books chapters and patents, and developer of several digital pedagogical resources dedicated to signal processing, scientific computing, and experimental physics.
