Corinne Legros

Corinne Legros is a Professor at Paris-Saclay University, affiliated with the Institute of Molecular Chemistry and Materials of Orsay (ICMMO) and the SP2M department. She holds a Doctorate in Chemistry from Paris XI University (1988), specializing in amorphous thin layers. Her academic roles include Lecturer (Exceptional Class) at Polytech Paris Sud and prior positions as MCF Hors Classe across various departments.

Education:

• Doctorate in Sciences (1988), University of Paris XI
• Specialization: Amorphous thin layers of Li_xV₂O₅, MPS₃, and MPS₄

Research Interests: Focuses on the 'synthesis-microstructure-properties' triad for oxide-based materials. Key areas include nanostructured materials for ultra-fast switches, ceramic matrix composites (CMC), thermal barrier systems for nuclear applications, and radiation effects on oxides like alumina and zirconia. She investigates doping, sintering processes, and phase diagrams to control material properties.

Teaching & Responsibilities: Teaches solid-state chemistry, metallurgy, and materials science at Polytech Paris Sud and UFR Sciences. Leads pedagogical initiatives, including stage supervision and apprenticeship programs. Oversees the UE Chim 314 module and coordinates career-oriented events like 'Conferences Métiers et Visites d'Usines.'

Labs & Teams: Active within the SP2M team at ICMMO, focusing on advanced material synthesis and characterization. Collaborates on projects involving thermal barrier coatings, nanostructured ceramics, and radiation-resistant oxides.
