Intérêts de recherche

My research interests include the synthesis and characterization of semiconductor nanomaterials and thin films for optoelectronics, energy, quantum and IoT applications. More specifically, I work on the synthesis of nanoporous silicon and germanium by self-organized electrochemical porosification to create novel nanoscale morphologies, study their properties for applications such as: i) Hetero-integration of discimilar semiconductors ii) for layer transfer process to create light and flexible photonic and photovoltaic devices, iii) Anodes for high-energy, high-power Li-ion batteries. I also work on the growth and characterization of semiconductors films, nanostructures and 2D materials (Graphene) by epitaxy (CVD, MBE, CBE). More recently, I developped nanocomposites materials that combine 2D materials such as graphene with porous semiconductor and study their properties for future applications in photovoltaics and Li-ion batteries.

Activités de collaboration internationale

  • Permanent member. Canada. As a permanent member of the Centre québécois sur les matériaux fonctionnels/Quebec Centre for Advanced Materials (CQMF / QCAM), I contribute to the synthesis and functionalization of nanomaterials and semiconductors, characterization of their properties through a fundamental approach for energy applications. This provides me an opportunity to collaborate with national and international laboratories working in the field of functional materials for nanotechnology.
  • Member. France. Laboratoire des Nanotechnologies et des Nanosystemes (LN2)I am an active member of the international joint unit between Canada (uSherbrooke) and France (CNRS) named: which is located at the 3IT since 2008. This gives me access to a large number of resources and expertise through the large CNRS network in France. I also participate every 2 years in the dedicated workshops which is an excellent opportunity for networking with researchers from Europe and particularly from France.
