Ricolleau, Christian

Christian Ricolleau is the leader of the Advanced Transmission Electron Microscopy and Nanostructures group at the Material and Quantum Phenomena laboratory. He is a physicist in materials science with much experience in electron microscopy (mainly in high resolution, diffraction and energy filtered TEM techniques). He has extensive knowledge in the growth of metallic nanoparticles on oxide substrates since it has been, in addition to the new development in advanced TEM techniques, his main field of research since 1999. After his PhD thesis on the wetting phenomenon of antiphase boundaries in binary alloys, he got the position of assistant professor in Mineralogy Crystallography Lab in Paris Diderot University. In 2000, he participated in the creation of the Materials and Quantum Phenomena laboratory and, in 2004, he received the position of professor at the Paris Diderot University. Since 2008, he has been the director of the Nanoalloys Research Network of the CNRS.
