Short bio

L. Assaud studied Materials Science at the University of Aix-Marseille, France, and graduated with a Master degree in Advanced Materials for Nanosciences and Energy in 2010. he then carried out a PhD thesis (2010-2013) at the Centre Interdisciplinaire de Nanoscience de Marseille, France, in close collaboration with the Center for Catalysis Research and Innovation of the University of Ottawa, Canada, where he spent several weeks in 2012. He then joined the department of Inorganic Chemistry of the University of Erlangen-Nuremberg, Germany, in 2014 as a postdoctoral fellow. In 2015, he moved back to France as a postdoctoral researcher at the Laboratoire de Génie Chimique and Laboratoire d’Analyse et d’Architecture des Systèmes at the National Polytechnical Institute of Toulouse. He started as an Associate Professor of Materials Chemistry at the University Paris-Saclay, France, in the group of Research and Innovation in Electrochemistry for Energy (ERIEE), Institut de Chimie Moléculaire et des Matériaux d’Orsay, on September 2015. He obtained the Habilitation to Supervise Research from the University Paris-Saclay in 2020. From 2021 to 2024, he was heading the Institute for Sustainable Energy of the University Paris-Saclay. Since 2024, he joined the Institute of Porous Materials, ESPCI, Univ. PSL as a Full Professor, and being visiting Researcher at ICMMO, University Paris-Saclay.
He current research focuses on the elaboration of materials and the functionalization of catalytic surfaces for (photo)-electrochemical energy conversion and the development and characterization of electrodes for batteries and their modeling.
