معرفی
Sophie BARRAU is a Professor at the University of Lille, affiliated with the Faculty of Science and Technology (FST) and the Department of Physics. She leads the Polymer Systems Engineering research team within the Materials and Transformations Unit (CNRS UMR 8207). Her work focuses on piezoelectric polymers and composites, particularly exploring structure-property relationships and functional materials for energy harvesting applications. She co-leads the Bachelor's degree program in Physics-Chemistry at the University of Lille.
- Key Projects: ANR NanoPiC (multi-scale piezoelectric behavior of nanostructured composites).
- Research Themes: Development of piezoelectric polymers, functional nanocomposites, and smart materials.
Her research emphasizes advanced materials with applications in energy conversion and sensor technologies. Over 15 recent publications highlight her contributions to piezoelectric composites, polymer processing, and nanoscale characterization. She has supervised multiple PhD students, including Thibaut MOREL (functional nanocomposites) and Mélanie GIRARDOT (piezoelectric copolymer studies).
Publications span journals like ACS Applied Materials & Interfaces, Polymers, and Small, reflecting her interdisciplinary approach to materials science.
