What is the recipe for successful achievement? To my mind there are just four essential ingredients: Choose a career you love, give it the best there is in you, seize your opportunities, and be a member of the team. I was thrilled to learn that I have received a grant from ECerS with financial support from the JECS Trust, to attend and participate in the Winter Workshop organized by The American Ceramic Society ACerS virtually on January 28‐29, 2021.

The investigation of new energy systems becomes increasingly important, because of the high energy demand needed, at simultaneously reduced environmental impact. A significant share of energy is currently generated from fossil fuels, and this is a major issue concerning environmental pollution and impeded availability. Read More
Two-dimensional graphene-like materials have been a hot research topic in the past years in search of the Holy Grail of electrochemical energy storage. That is, a material which is able to reversibly store very high amounts of charge at a very high (dis)charging speed. Unfortunately, most known materials satisfy just one of the two conditionsRead More
After graduating from Grenoble INP Phelma with an engineering degree in materials science and engineering, I decided to continue my studies with a thesis. However, I wanted to keep a link with industrial research so I chose a CIFRE thesis.Read More

Due to the ongoing pandemic, the Electroceramics XVII conference will be organized as the first all-virtual version of this biannual meeting in order to share our research and stay connected during these insecure times.Read More
The development of additive manufacturing (AM) since the last decades enthusiastically increase the potentiality of these technologies. AM of ceramics is now reaching industrialization thanks to its advantages such as high precision, the versatility of the processed pieces, quick processing time and so on. Moreover, AM technologies like stereolithography (SLA) are referred as indirect technologies because the produced parts must be thermally debinded and sintered. Read More
Highly porous, lightweight ceramics with high surface area are and high enough rigidity important in applications such as catalysis, thermal insulation and adsorption. There is a strong incentive to employ simple and green processes for the preparation of this family of ceramics. Unfortunately, conventional shaping techniques require sintering, which lowers porosity and surface area.Read More
In January 2020, thanks to JECS Trust, I had the opportunity and pleasure to attend ACerS Winter workshop 2020 organized in the scope of 44th International Conference and Expo on Advanced Ceramics and Composites held in Daytona Beach, Florida, USA. Read More
Once upon a time the YCN... It's hard to describe such a rewarding experience in just a few lines. Four years ago, I was invited by Dominique Hautcoeur and Erkka Frankberg to join the YCN committee. At that time, I was not aware of the great opportunity that was offered to me. I was then realizing it afterwards through all the adventures carried out within this framework. Read More
