New group members!

The group has evolved quite a lot over the last months. We wish a lot of success for the future to Guillaume and Yang who have brilliantly defended their thesis!

And… we welcome the new generation who arrived during the last weeks: Marzena is a new postdoc, geoscientist and interesting in structural transformations in nanomaterials, Emile is master student working on layered materials, Ambroise deals with perovskite oxide nanocatalysts, and Daniel is PhD candidate at Universidad Complutense de Madrid, visiting us for 2 months for nanoscale oxide synthesis.

Two videos on our work

David has made several free-to-access recorded seminars in 2022 and late 2021:

The first one (in French) at Collège de France, where he was invited by Prof. J.-M. Tarascon as part of his lectures:

The second one (in English) for The EuChemS Lecture Award. At the end of this one, Yang and Fernando have been invited to give short talks on their own works:

Extreme pressures in Dalton Transactions

Our new paper appears in Dalton Transactions! Very proud of this work by Rémi Grosjean and Simon Delacroix, the first joint multidisciplinary study with my physicist colleague Yann Le Godec. Hopefully the beginning of a long story, initiated by Labex MATISSE and CNRS.
