Since 2004 : "energy" and "nanomaterials" expert for 
- the french Ministry of research (MESR), 
- the french ANRT industrial PhD grants agency (CIFRE contracts), 
- the french ANR research agency (programs : Stock-E, Progelec, P2N, Chimie Durable), 
- the European Science Foundation (ESF),
- the European Commission (programs : FP6, FP7, Horizon2020)

 

  • Dr. Hynd Remita
    Coordinator of the Strategic Research Initiative (IRS) MOMENTOM (Molecules and Materials for the Energy of tomorrow) - Université Paris-Saclay 

Director of Research at CNRS. She is working at the Laboratoire de Chimie Physique, Université Paris-Sud, Université Paris-Saclay (France). After receiving a PhD in Physical Chemistry from the Universit8 Paris-Sud in 1990, she performed postdoctoral research at the University of Medicine of Sherbrooke (Canada). Her research unites various strategies for the development of synthesis methods for nanomaterials with specific applications (photocatalysis, fuel cells, nanomedecine). The goal is not only to enable the development of practical devices but ultimately unravel the guiding principles underlying the performance of a particular material. She is also devoted to dissemination of Science.
