Received her PhD in Material Science in
2000 at the University Montpellier 2. Following a post-doctoral
fellowship at the Department of Chemical Engineering (University
of Bath, United Kingdom), she became Assistant Professor in
2002 at the University of Montpellier (UM). She has been
teaching on physico-chemistry (electrochemistry,
thermodynamics, analytical chemistry) and material science. As
an academic researcher at European Membrane Institute (IEM), its main research interests
are the synthesis/modification by plasma CVD/treatment and characterization of polymeric,
ceramic and hybrid thin layers and membranes for use in environment and above all energy-
related applications (low temperature fuel cells and (photo-) electrolysis devices). These
research activities have been carried out in the frame of 21 institutional projects, have led to
77 publications in refereed journals, 5 patents and 5 chapters in books, and have involved
more than 50 non-permanent staff (11 PhD) under her supervision.
