X close

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.

Dr. Vincent Fournée is a CNRS research director at the Jean Lamour Institute. He received his Ph.D in 1998 from University Pierre and Marie Curie in Paris. During 1999-2001, he was a post-doctoral fellow at the Ames Laboratory (USA) and at Nagoya University (Japan). He joined the CNRS in Nancy in 2002. His research group ‘Metallurgy and Surfaces’ focus on the structure-property relationship in complex intermetallic compounds with large unit cells, using surface science methods and theoretical calculations. He has published > 130 publications in refereed journals, >20 invited talks, 7 patents, 5 book chapters, > 200 communications in international conferences. He has received a fellowship from the Monbusho (1998) and from the JSPS (2000) ; obtained a research Prize from the Region Lorraine (2006) ; a research Prize from the Industrial Society of the Est Region (2011). He has been PI or co-PI of more than 20 different projects in the field of complex intermetallics.
