After studying mechanical engineering at université de Lorraine in Nancy, Dr. Arthur France-Lanord went on to prepare a Ph.D. in physics at université Paris Sud and Materials Design, where he was supervised by Erich Wimmer. He focused on the modeling of both thermal and electronic transport phenomena at the nanoscale. After graduating in 2016, he joined the contract research team at Materials Design, working on a wide range of problems relevant to the industry. In 2017, he joined Jeffrey Grossman’s group at MIT, where he investigated ion transport in polymer electrolytes. He returned to France in 2020 as a postdoctoral researcher at Sorbonne Université, working with Mathieu Salanne on the degradation of water-in-salt electrolytes. He then joined CNRS as a researcher in 2022, at the Institute of Mineralogy, Materials Physics and Cosmochemistry (IMPMC). Arthur has a broad interest in computational materials science, more particularly in nanoscale transport phenomena, energy storage applications, and machine learning techniques coupled with statistical mechanics.
