His research program, entitled “Functionnal Electroactive 2D-Materials for Bio and Chemical Sensing”, is mainly interested in the synthesis, characterization and application of new 2D materials, including graphene, of which he is one world specialists. The spectacular progress made in controlling the electronic properties of these 2D nanomaterials will lead to varied applications, in the fields of optics, electronics and chemical and biological sensors. This represents a unique opportunity to strengthen Canada’s position in the synthesis of new generations of 2D electroactive materials and their applications.
