Speakers
Philippe LECLERE
Philippe Leclere is a research director at the FNRS and a professor at the University of Mons. His work focuses on the study of organic and hybrid materials for electronics and energy, particularly organic photovoltaic cells and supramolecular nanostructures. A specialist in scanning probe microscopy techniques, he develops approaches to characterize, at the nanoscale, the mechanical, electrical, and morphological properties of innovative materials intended for applications in nanoelectronics and energy conversion.
Presentation :
“Towards Correlative Analysis of Mechanical and Chemical Properties of Soft Materials: When AI Meets Materials!”
Cyril SZOPA
Cyril Szopa is a professor at the University of Versailles Saint-Quentin-en-Yvelines and a researcher at LATMOS, specializing in astrochemistry and planetary science. His research focuses on the study of organic matter in the Solar System, particularly on Titan, Mars, and comets, to better understand the emergence of prebiotic molecules and the conditions favorable to the development of life. He develops chemical analysis instruments for international space missions, such as the Mars Science Laboratory and Dragonfly, and also conducts laboratory experiments that reproduce extraterrestrial environments, especially Titan's organic-rich atmosphere.

Frédéric Lamaty is a research director at the CNRS (French National Centre for Scientific Research) at the Max Mousseron Institute of Biomolecules, where he leads the "Green Chemistry and Innovative Technologies" team. His research focuses on organic and green chemistry, with a strong emphasis on mechanochemistry for the synthesis of peptides, amino acids, and complex organic compounds. He develops innovative and sustainable processes using alternative solvents and technologies such as bead milling, microwaves, ultrasound, continuous flow, and reactive extrusion, in an approach aimed at reducing the environmental impact of chemical syntheses.
