Our Speakers at the MSE Congress

Our experts will provide insightful talks regarding the recent developments and challenges in the design, characterization, and modeling of new dielectric materials for energy storage, with a particular focus on antiferroelectrics.

Searching for New Non-Perovskite Antiferroelectric Materials

Dr. Maël Guennou Department of Physics and Materials Science University of Luxembourg

Maël Guennou defended his PhD at the Ecole Centrale de Paris (now Centrale Supélec) in 2007 on domain structures of piezoelectric relaxor-based single crystals. He then spent three years in Grenoble, working on high-pressure phrase transitions in model perovskites, and one year in Prague working on lead-free piezoelectrics. In 2013, he joined the Luxembourg Institute of Science and Technology (LIST) where he worked as a researcher for 6 years, working on ferroic transitions, domains walls, and advanced uses of Raman spectroscopy. Since January 2019, he is an assistant professor in the Physics and Materials Science Department at the University of Luxembourg.
