Philippe BOUTINAUD

Philippe BOUTINAUD is a Professor at the Clermont-Ferrand Institute of Chemistry (ICCF), part of Clermont Auvergne University. He holds a doctorate in materials science from the University of Bordeaux (1991) and joined the ICCF in 1994 as a lecturer, becoming a Professor in 1999. His research focuses on luminescence-structure relationships in doped inorganic solids, predictive modeling for phosphor synthesis, and degradation assessment of phosphors under LED lighting. He contributed to specialized courses on structural and high-performance materials. Current research includes metal-metal charge transfer states and rare-earth-free phosphor degradation.
