He will be in charge of the « Materials processing and microstructure characterization » work package (WP1). Holding a PhD (2005) from the University of Limoges and an HDR (2023), he is an Associate Professor at Laboratoire de Chimie de la Matière Condensée de Paris, Sorbonne Université since 2007. His main field of expertise is the synthesis and processing of inorganic materials for energy applications, including innovative sintering processes like SPS, microwave sintering and cold sintering process, while taking account of the crystal chemistry/structure/property relationship. He led and took part in several projects involving functional ceramics for thermoelectric, piezoelectric and optical applications.
