Laurent JOUFFRET

Laurent JOUFFRET is a CNRS Researcher at the Clermont-Ferrand Institute of Chemistry (ICCF) within Clermont Auvergne University, specializing in the 'Fluoridation and Fluorinated Materials' theme. He has held this position since October 2014, focusing on advanced materials synthesis and corrosion studies. His research integrates crystallographic analysis, uranium chemistry, and energy storage solutions.

Education: PhD in Materials Chemistry (2006–2009) from Université de Lille 1. Postdoctoral fellowships at the University of Notre Dame (2010–2013), Le Mans Institute of Molecules and Materials (2013–2014), and ICCF (2014). His work emphasizes fluorinated materials, uranium compounds, and corrosion mechanisms in extreme environments.

Key research interests include synthesizing uranium-based fluorides, crystal engineering, and developing materials for energy applications. His studies often employ in-situ Raman spectroscopy and advanced characterization techniques. Notable contributions address corrosion of metals in UF6 environments and novel MAX phase materials.
