Very happy to announce that our project entitled “Crystallization of nanoalloys for electrocatalysis: Synthesis, characterization and simulation” has been selected by NanoX for funding within the call for disruptive research project. Special thanks to my partners in crime: Magali Benoit, Patrizio Benzo and Mathieu Prévot!

My new adventure as CNRS researcher starts today at the CEMES laboratory. Looking forward to new experiences and grateful to my colleagues for helping me obtain this position!

After answering the call for proposals for usage of the Toulouse’s HPC center, CALMIP, we got awarded 1.1 million computing hours for 2 projects:

  • Crystallization and glass transition in Germanium Telluride (500 000 hours)
  • Polymorph selection in Zinc oxyde (600 000 hours)

I am grateful to CALMIP’s scientific committee for supporting these new and exciting research projects.
