Benoit P. Pichon is professor (full) of Materials Chemistry at the University of Strasbourg (France). His research is primarily centered on the design of nanostructured magnetic materials for applications related to sustainability. He focuses on the effect of the nanostructure of nanoparticles and their assembly including the role of size-dependent properties, interfacial spin dynamics and collective properties. Recently, he has expanded his work to nanomaterials based on Earth-abundant materials for electrocatalysis in the field of energy production and conversion.
