Biography:

Philippe Moreau is Professor at the Institut des Matériaux de Nantes Jean Rouxel (Nantes University – CNRS). An engineering graduate of ENSIC Nancy, he obtained a PhD in materials chemistry in Nantes, before specializing in EELS spectroscopy at the Cavendish Laboratory (University of Cambridge). An expert in transmission electron microscopy (TEM/STEM), he has been developing high-resolution structural and spectroscopic characterization approaches for over twenty years, notably on the Nant’Themis monochromate microscope. He teaches undergraduate and graduate courses in inorganic chemistry, crystallography, electron microscopy and electron spectroscopy. His research focuses on structural analysis at different scales, fine chemical analysis, oxidation states and electronic excitations, particularly as applied to battery materials. In this case, he is interested in electrochemical degradation, interfaces and lithiation mechanisms. He is involved in several industrial and academic projects (national and European) on nanomaterials and materials for all-solid or liquid electrolyte batteries.

Biography:

I graduated from the Université Joseph Fourier in Grenoble with a DEA in Instrumentation and Measurement in 1988. In 1992, I defended a doctoral thesis in Materials Science, specializing in microelectronics, at the University of Nantes. In 1993, I was appointed Senior Lecturer at IRESTE (now Polytech Nantes), then promoted to University Professor in 2007 in the Physics Department of the Faculty of Science and Technology at Nantes University. I am currently in charge of the Electronics, Electrical Energy and Automation (EEA) Master’s program. My teaching covers several key areas: analog electronics, semiconductors, microelectronics, nanoelectronics, digital modeling and integrated circuit manufacturing processes.

On the research front, I have been attached to the Nantes Jean Rouxel Materials Institute (IMN) since 1989. I am deputy head of the Plasmas and Thin Films (PCM) team. With my PhD students, we have developed innovative models and algorithms for modeling plasma discharges and their interactions with etched surfaces. These include the global method for describing plasma kinetics, and the Monte-Carlo cell method for simulating plasma-surface interactions in micro- and nanoscale etching processes. This set of codes has enabled us to structure an innovative multiscale approach to etching materials at micron, nanometer and atomic scales.
