معرفی
Mohamed Zbiri is a neutron spectroscopy scientist at the Institut Laue-Langevin (ILL), specializing in condensed matter physics, quantum chemistry, and high-performance computing. His research combines neutron scattering measurements and atomistic simulations to study functional materials with societal impact, particularly in energy applications. Currently, he is a member of the IN5 direct-geometry cold-neutron disk chopper TOF spectrometer team and serves as Elected Secretary of College 7 (2025-present) at ILL, previously holding roles as Nominated Specialist (2015-2019) and Elected Secretary (2011-2015).
- Habilitation (HDR), Physics - University of Grenoble I (Joseph Fourier University)
- PhD, Chemistry - University of Freiburg, Switzerland
- Master, Astrophysics - University of Nice Sophia Antipolis and Côte d'Azur Observatory
- Bachelor, Physics - University Cadi Ayyad, Morocco
His research interests span vibrational and structural dynamics of organic semiconductors, phonon-structure-magnetism interplay in correlated systems, and lattice dynamics in transition metal frameworks. He has contributed to neutron scattering studies on materials for greener hydrogen fuel production, plastic solar cells, and water-splitting photocatalysts. Zbiri also supervises PhD student Stella d'Ambrumenil and collaborates with institutions like Imperial College London, Delft University of Technology, and University of Oxford. He actively organizes scientific seminars and events at ILL and the UK Neutron and Muon Science and User Meeting (NMSUM).
