  Dr. Narciso Gambacorti, Director of the Nanocaracterisation programme at CEA-Leti

 

 


In 1991 Dottore in Fisica from the University of Rome "La Sapienza”. From 1992 to 1997, he did research in different CNR research institutes in Italy (MASPEC-Parma, ICMAT-Rome) working on the characterisation by means of different techniques (TEM, XRD, SIMS, PL) of GaAs and InP based advanced heterostructures. From 1997 to 2008 he worked as senior research scientist on ellipsometry, scatterometry and thermal-waves for a USA based semiconductor metrology company. In 2009 he joint CEA-LETI in the Grenoble MINATEC-Campus as nanocharacterisation program manager. As nanocharacterisation program manager he is in charge to build research programs with industrial and institutional partners in the field of the physical/chemical for both in-line metrology and off-line characterisation. LinkedIn


  Dr. Manon LeticheBeamline scientist at ILL

 

 


Dr. Manon Létiche obtained her Ph.D in material sciences in 2016 at the University of Lille1 within the frame of a collaboration between the Catalyst and Solidi state Chemistry Unit (UCCS) and the Institute of electronic, micro-electronic and nanotechnology (IEMN). Her work consisted in developing thin film materials for Li-ion microbatteries. Since May 2018, she is working at ILL as scientific responsible for D50 in the frame of IRT Nanoelec project.

  Dr. Eric Mossang, Research Engineer at Institut Néel CNRS
 

 

 

 

Since 2010, Dr. Eric Mossang is in charge of the structural characterisation and synthesis of materials (HP, HT: high pressure and temperature) platforms at Néel Institute, CNRS. From 1998 to 2010, at Grenoble High Magnetic Field Laboratory (GHMFL), CNRS, Dr. Mossang was in charge of the superconducting materials characterisation platform, the organisation of the magnet time schedule and of the Programme Committee meetings. He is involved in numerous collaborations with industrial and academic partners such as INAC (CEA). LinkedIn


Sandra Cabeza, Materials Scientist at ILL

 

 

 

She works at the Institute Max von Laue- Paul Langevin (ILL, France) as the co-responsible of the instrument SALSA (Stress Analyser for Large Scaled engineering Applications), world-leading neutron diffractometer for the non-destructive mapping of bulk strain/stress-fields within materials and engineering structures. Before joining the ILL in 2017, Sandra worked as a project leader for synchrotron and neutron diffraction at the German Federal Institute for Materials Research and Testing in Berlin (BAM, Germany). She received her PhD from Universidad Complutense de Madrid working at the National Centre for Metallurgical research (CENIM-CSIC, Spain).

Her research focuses in materials science and advanced manufacturing, with emphasis in residual stress analysis . Sandra also leads various industrial collaborations regarding advanced characterization with neutrons, including the creation of a Neutron Quality Label (trademark since 2021). She is also part of the scientific committee at PSI (CH) and users committee at FRMII (DE). Dr Cabeza is also reviewer of VINNOVA (SE) industrial projects at Large Research Infrastructures.
