Dr. Arnaud Demortière (group leader)
Director of Research at CNRS, LRCS laboratory & RS2E network (Amiens,France)
After a master’s in physics, he obtained his doctoral thesis at the Sorbonne University in Paris on nanomaterials and electron microscopy. Then, he worked for 5 years on energy materials and in situ experiments at the Argonne National Laboratory in Chicago. Since 2015, he has been a researcher at the CNRS in the LRCS laboratory and RS2E network (French Battery Network) in Amiens, France. As senior scientist, he studies the dynamics of lithiation in Li-ion battery materials in multi-scale and multimodal modes based on the development of in situ/operando methods via TEM (liquid & 4DSTEM) and X-ray techniques (STXM-XANES). His research is now heavily involved in the use and development of machine/deep learning tools for computer vision, image processing and big data analysis. He is also responsible for the electron/X-ray microscopy platform of the RS2E network and recently co-founder of the startup PreDeeption on predicting battery life, for which he was awarded the CNRS innovation RISE prize.
