CNRS Researcher (DR2)
I received my PhD in nuclear physics in 2001. I joined the CNRS in 2003, and I have worked during 8 years on implantation and irradiation-induced damage in semiconductors and nuclear ceramics. I have acquired a well-established know-how in material characterization mainly ion beam analysis and electron microscopy.
In 2010, I achieved a professional redirection and got involved in the synthesis and characterization of innovative nanostructures for monolithic and heterogeneous integration on silicon. I gained an expertise in the growth of semiconductor nanowires and comprehension of size-effects. I have pioneered a process of phase transformation in nanowires and have initiated a scientific research project on it (ANR-HEXSIGE). My research interests are currently focused on the synthesis and properties of group-IV allotropes especially Ge-2H for optical applications. My activity includes the study of fundamental mechanisms of crystal growth at the atomic scale using real time observations in TEM.
