Jean-Pierre SIMONATO

Dr. hab. , CEA ​Senior Fellow​

​After obtaining his PhD in 1999, he spent 7 years in industry before joining CEA in 2005. He was appointed head of the nanomaterials synthesis and integration Laboratory (2014-2018), and spent a year as Visiting Scientist at Duke University (USA) in 2020.

He is currently working as the scientific directorate of CEA-Liten, while maintaining a research activity on various topics such as nanomaterials synthesis, gas sensors and 3D printing.

He has been Expert evaluator/Vice-chair at the European Commission for last ten years. He has co-authored over 100 patents and 100 publications.

In 2023, he was appointed Senior Fellow.
