I am a CNRS Research Director at the CNRS, working on implementing quantum physics using spintronics. After undergrad studies in Physics and Spanish at UC Berkeley, I obtained my PhD in 2003 on solid-state tunneling spintronics (director: 2007 Physics Nobel winner Albert Fert). I entered the CNRS in 2006 and was promoted to Research Director (DR) in 2017. I lead the ‘Hybrid Spintronics’ team at the IPCMS. My research aims to implement quantum physics within information/communication and energy technologies, using spintronics as both an original approach and an established industrialization vector. Using advanced operando techniques, I study the electronic properties of the quantum nano-object within the nanotransport path across the oxide and molecular spacer layer of micro- and nano-scale vertical spintronic devices. I am an active member of several local, national and international sustainability & resilience initiatives across the scientific and civil society spectra.
