Jean-Marie Dubois owns a PhD in Physics from Polytechnic National Institute, Nancy, France, a Dr Hon. Causa from Iowa State University,USA and another from Federal University of Paraiba, Brazil. He is a former overseas fellow of Churchill College, Cambridge, U.K. and a professor at Dalian University of Technology, China. He was recently elected as Honorary Member of Jozef Stefan Institute in Ljubljana, Slovenia. He is a member of Lorraine Science Academy and correspondent of Stanislas Academy, Nancy, France. Distinguished Director of Research at CNRS, France, he chairs the professional committee of CNRS that is dedicated to materials chemistry, nanomaterials and processing. His research topics have revolved around metal physics and engineering of complex metallic materials. He is the author of more than 250 scientific articles in refereed journals, 14 international patents, and 7 books. After establishing structure models for metallic glasses and quasicrystals, Prof. Dubois became interested in applied properties of these materials: heat insulation, low adhesive properties and infrared light absorption, cold-welding and solid-solid adhesion in vacuum of Al-based complex intermetallics against steel. His general interest is on understanding the surface energy of those materials and their scaling properties in relation to their electronic structure and crystal lattice complexity.
