In 1998, Fabien Grasset received his Ph.D. degree in solid-state chemistry from the University of Science and Technology of Bordeaux, France, and the Bordeaux Institute of Condensed Matter Chemistry (ICMCB). After a postdoctoral stay at ICMCB on magnetic nanoparticles for nanobiotechnology (group of Professor E. Duguet), he undertook a Postdoctoral Fellowship on functional nanoparticles (ZnO, M@SiO2) at the National Institute for Materials Science (NIMS) in Japan from 1999 to 2001 (group of Professor H. Haneda). He joined as assistant professor the University of Rennes 1 (UR1), France, in September 2001 and as associate professor since 02/2003. He worked in the Glass and Ceramics lab until 2006 and moved to the Solid-State Chemistry and Materials Group at UMR6226 ISCR until September 2014 in order to develop nanomaterials and colloidal chemistry. He joined CNRS in October 2014 as Director of Research and he worked as Unit Director at the IRL3629 LINK CNRS-Saint Gobain-NIMS based at NIMS, Tsukuba, Japan until January 2020. Since 02/2020, he is currently Director of research at ISCR, Rennes, France and will come back to Japan on next 09/2023 as Unit Director of the IRL LINK.
He published 115 papers (12/2022). He defended his “Habilitation à Diriger des Recherches-HDR” in May 2008. In 2007, he was invited as a Short-Term Fellow of the International Center for Young Scientist (ICYS) at the National Institute for Materials Science under ICYS/NIMS program for 3 months. From 2007 to 2009, he was one of the PI of a MERLION PHC between the National University of Singapore (Professor Y. Zhang) and the UR1. From 2008 to 2012, he was elected at the National Committee of CNRS (section 15). Since 2011, he was PI on several industrial projects (Solvay, Saint-Gobain, Firadec, Kerdry…) and in the ANR’s projects CLUSTOP and ZnO-type-P and currently in DUVNANO and CLIMATE projects.
