Research Topics

My research activity adresses the Physical-Chemistry of High Temperature Reaction Systems. It is based on different projects, such as :

• Crystal growth of Silicon Carbide (3C, 4H, 15R polytypes) from solution of from the vapor phase
• Crystal growth of Aluminum Nitride from the vapor phase
• Synthesis and properties of MAX phases
• Synthesis and properties of new carbides semiconductors, mainly from the Al-Si-C ternary system
• Multiscale interactions between extended defects and growth fronts
