Since 1994, I have carried out research on near-field microscopy, from fundamental research, study of first steps of silicon growth on Silicon by ultra-high vacuum STM (Ph.D.) to the characterization of interaction between sugars by liquid AFM (Postdoc). Since 1999, I have been in charge of shared access microscopy platforms allowing me to address various fields of investigations (polymers films, thin films, oxide characterization, mechanical and electric properties, etc.).
Since 2006, at INL laboratory I focus my work mainly on PFM research on ferroelctric thin film. Now i have 3 AFMs able to do PFM with the follow of the resonnance frequency.
In addition to my research activity, I am involved in various French national networks. In particular, I am in charge of the coordination of the French scanning probe microscopy CNRS network (RéMiSoL) since 2014.
