Biography:

Antoine Goullet is University Professor (exceptional class) at Nantes University, and a member of the Jean Rouxel Materials Institute in Nantes (IMN – UMR 6502). His current research focuses on the synthesis and study of the optical and electrical properties of nanocomposite dielectric thin films. These materials are developed using innovative hybrid processes, combining injection of colloidal solutions with plasma-assisted vapor deposition (PECVD), operating at low pressure and low temperature. He has authored or co-authored over 80 scientific publications in international journals. He has supervised or co-supervised 10 doctoral theses, and supervised three post-doctoral fellows. Scientific leader of several ANR-funded projects, he has also coordinated a European project (PHC) and participated in over 60 thesis juries. After serving as Director of Research at Polytech Nantes (2016-2021), since January 2022 he has been Deputy Director of Nantes Université’s Science and Technology cluster, in charge of research issues.
