Arrival of New Master's Students in the Team

We are happy to welcome three master’s students in the team.

Baptiste Cibron and Matthieu Laville join us for their Master 1 projects. Both will study the interactions of electroactive bacteria with nanomaterials, with different focuses on human health or material synthesis aspects.

Kader Zerbo will carry out his Master 2 project as part of the IRIS-E - Interdisciplinary Research & Innovative Solutions for Environmental transition programme financed by the Université de Rennes. He will investigate the application of electroactive bacteria in the treatment and valorisation of mine waste.

A huge welcome to the students!

Chargé de Recherche/Assistant Professor CNRS

I am a Chargé de Recherche (Assistant Professor) based at the Institut des Sciences Chimiques de Rennes, France. My research focuses on the areas of nanomaterial electrochemistry, bioelectrochemistry and interfacial science for energy applications. I previously worked as a Marie Curie fellow (Université de Rennes) and postdoctoral researcher at the Centre for BioNano Interactions (CBNI) in the School of Chemistry, University College Dublin and as a postdoc and lecturer in Trinity College Dublin where I completed my PhD in physical chemistry with a focus on electrochemical and spectroscopic characterisation of nitrogenated carbon materials. I completed my Bachelor’s Degree in Chemistry at Trinity in 2014, when I graduated at the top of my class.
