معرفی
Odile Fichet is a Professor in Polymer Chemistry at CY Cergy Paris Université, affiliated with the Laboratoire de Physicochimie des Polymères et des Interfaces (LPPI). She has been a key figure in advanced polymer research, focusing on materials for energy and extreme environments. She leads the LPPI laboratory and holds major administrative responsibilities in research and education.
- PhD in Physical Chemistry, CRPP – Dr. Pierre Delhaes
- Engineer, Ecole Nationale Supérieure de Chimie-Physique de Bordeaux (ENSCPB), 1989
Her research centers on the design, synthesis, and characterization of functional polymer materials, especially for fuel cells, batteries, high-temperature applications, and tissue engineering. She explores Interpenetrating Polymer Networks (IPN) and ionic conductors, aiming to improve mechanical, thermal, and chemical stability. Her work bridges fundamental science and industrial applications through collaborations with BASF, EDF, CEA, Valeo, and others.
The most recent articles and projects reflect a strong focus on energy storage (Redflow batteries, metal-air systems), fuel cell membranes, and high-temperature encapsulation materials. Her work spans materials chemistry, electrochemistry, and engineering, with a trend toward sustainable and industrially viable polymer solutions.
She has earned significant recognition through research leadership and project funding, though specific awards are not listed. Her scientific impact is evident in 71 A-rank publications, 15 patents, and leadership in European and national projects.
Prof. Fichet has co-directed 21 PhD theses and actively participates in thesis committees. She secured funding from major agencies including the Agence Nationale de la Recherche (ANR), H2020, DGA, and BPI, demonstrating strong grant acquisition skills. Her initiatives integrate academic training with industry needs, notably through her creation of a Master’s program in Technico-Commercial Engineering.
She leads the Laboratoire de Physicochimie des Polymères et des Interfaces (LPPI), a multidisciplinary team of over 50 researchers. She previously directed the federative structure I-mat and co-directed LPPI, highlighting her role in building collaborative research ecosystems.
