Silviu COLIS

Silviu COLIS is a Professor in Inorganic Materials Chemistry at the Ecole Européenne de Chimie, Polymères et Matériaux (University of Strasbourg), conducting research at the Institut de Physique et Chimie des Matériaux de Strasbourg (IPCMS). His work focuses on multifunctional oxide thin films and multilayers for spintronic and photovoltaic applications, including magnetic tunnel junctions and ferroelectric solar cells.

• PhD in Physics, Louis Pasteur University (2001)
• Postdoctoral Researcher, Siemens AG (2001-2002)
• Research Habilitation, Louis Pasteur University (2008)

His research spans magnetic oxides for spin electronics, oxide thin films for photovoltaics, and quantum materials. Recent work emphasizes ferroelectric thin films, oxygen vacancy effects, and transparent conductive oxides in solar cells.

Key publications highlight advancements in Bi2FeCrO6 thin films, Yb-doped SnO2 nanoparticles, and gate-tunable phototransistors. Collaborations span institutions like IPCMS, ITI QMat, and Labex NIE.

• Marie Curie Fellowship

Administrative roles include Head of the 'Functional Materials and Nanoscience' major, Research Coordinator for ITI QMat, and leadership in the ChemLab ECPM platform.
