Hervé Martinez

Short Bio:

Hervé Martinez is full professor in solid-state chemistry at the Université de Pau et des Pays de l’Adour in France. He is at present director of a CNRS federation “Photoemission Spectroscopy” including 46 CNRS laboratories in France. He is also deputy director of UPPA’ Faculty of Science and Technology for Energy and Environment (STEE). He was recently (2015-2018) deputy director of IPREM, a CNRS laboratory (IPREM: Institute of Analytical Sciences and Physical Chemistry for the French National Centre for Scientific Research), and director of the chemistry department of UPPA. Prof. Martinez’s current research fields include the fundamental knowledge of materials surface and interface applied to energy storage (Li(Na) – ion batteries, redox processes and surface phenomena during electrochemical cycles, aging phenomena…), to nanomaterials for health and to the identification and understanding of corrosion process for materials used in aeronautics or automotive vehicles. He is a specialist of surface materials and physical-chemistry with a special interest for electronic and photoelectronic spectroscopy (XPS-AES), mass spectroscopy (TOF-SIMS), scanning probe microscopies (AFM-STM) and theoretical calculations (DFT codes). Within these different fields, he has published 140 scientific papers and book chapters with a number of citations around 4000 and an h-index of 36 (SCOPUS). He was/is coordinator and principle leader of more than 20 research and collaborative projects and he supervised 20 Ph.D. and 9 post doctoral fellows.
