Mathieu Edely

Mathieu Edely is a researcher at Le Mans University's Institute of Molecular and Materials Chemistry (IMMM), specializing in thin film development and characterization. His work focuses on Physical Vapor Deposition (PVD) techniques and advanced characterization methods like Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM), Electron Microscopy, X-ray Diffraction, and Raman Spectroscopy.

• Roles: Head of thin film and development laboratories, Competent Person in Radiation Protection.
• Teaching: Thin layers (M2 Pnano), Metallurgy (IUT Physical Measurements), Optics (UFR Sciences).

His research spans plasmonics, microplastics, vibrational spectroscopy, and surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS). Recent publications highlight SERS-based biosensing, Brillouin scattering for material analysis, and environmental impacts of microplastics.

Key trends in his work include plasmonic nanomaterials, DNA conformational studies, and microplastics in gut microbiome. He has contributed to SERS substrate validation and gold nanoparticle-lipid membrane interactions.
