个人简介

Born in 1968, Dr. Lionel Vayssieres obtained his High organization Diploma in Mathematics & Life Sciences in 1986, a BSc. and MSc. in Physical Chemistry in 1989 and 1990, respectively and a Ph.D. in Inorganic Chemistry in November 1995 (after his 1994 military duty as a scientist for the French Navy) from the Université Pierre et Marie Curie, Paris, France for his research work on the Interfacial & thermodynamic growth control of metal oxide nanoparticles in aqueous solutions. Thereafter, he joined Uppsala University, Sweden as a postdoctoral researcher for the Swedish Materials Consortium on Clusters and Ultrafine Particles to extend his concepts and develop purpose-built metal oxide nanomaterials for photoelectrochemical applications as well as to characterize their electronic structure by x-ray spectroscopies at synchrotron radiation facilities. He has been invited as a visiting scientist at: the University of Texas at Austin, USA; the UNESCO Centre for Macromolecules & Materials, Stellenbosch University, and iThemba LABS, South Africa; the Glenn T. Seaborg Center, Chemical Sciences Division, at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (LBNL), CA, USA; The Texas Materials Institute, USA; The Ecole Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL), Switzerland; the University of Queensland, Australia, and Nanyang Technological University (NTU), Singapore. He was also an independent scientist at the National Institute for Materials Science (NIMS), Tsukuba, Japan for 8 years.
