About.

Jérôme Michon is CEO and co-founder of InSpek. He studied at École Polytechnique (France) and completed his PhD at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), where he worked on silicon photonic platforms for chemical sensing. During his research at MIT, he developed one of the first Raman-on-chip systems, which later led to the creation of InSpek. He also worked at the Centre de Nanosciences et de Nanotechnologies (C2N–CNRS), focusing on chip-scale spectroscopic techniques.

He has participated in translational research programs such as the MIT Deshpande Center and the NSF I-Corps initiative. His activities have focused on bringing integrated photonic sensing technologies from the lab to real-world applications.

Ivan-Lazar Bundalo is the CTO at InSpek, where he leads the development of PIC-based multisensor technology for monitoring bioprocesses. His academic journey took him to Germany, France, Spain, and Australia, culminating in a PhD from the Technical University of Denmark. With over 12 years of experience in technical project management, he has played a key role in leading and participating in more than a dozen multimillion-euro projects across biomedical, sensing, and ICT sectors in Europe and Australia. Before joining InSpek, Ivan-Lazar worked on developing optical packaging solutions at Tyndall National Institute, where he contributed to the establishment of the PIXAPP Photonics Packaging Pilot Line, and at CSEM, where he provided advanced packaging solutions to Swiss industries.
