CARMEN comes from the joint will of GDRs NAME and CHALCO of enhancing the connections between their communities on common topics, concerning chalcogenides and nanomaterials for applications in energy, with a focus on interface effects and phase change properties.Specifically, it aims to foster interdisciplinary dialogue around:
Phase-change materials (PCM)
Chalcogenides
Energy conversion and storage
Interfaces and nanostructures
Advanced characterization and simulation techniques
The workshop will take place in Paris at Sorbonne Université (Jussieu campus) from December 15 to 17, 2025. It will include invited keynote talks, tutorials, contributed presentations, and a session dedicated to young researchers.
Keynotes confirmed speakers:
David Lacroix (LEMTA, Université de Lorraine)
Simon Jeannot (STMicroelectronics Crolles)
Evelyne Martin (iCUBE, Université de Strasbourg)
Tutorials Confirmed speakers:
Samy Merabia (ILM, Université de Lyon)
Nicolas Horny (ITheMM, Université de Reims)
Riccardo Messina (Laboratoire Charles Fabry)
Louis Giraudet (L2n, Université de Reims)
A social dinner is planned for the evening of December 16, providing a convivial setting for informal discussions.
Organisation Committee, (alphabetical order): Valentina Giordano, Georges Hamaoui, Nicolas Horny, Stéphane Jobic, Samy Merabia, Lorenzo Paulatto, Jean-François Robillard, Nicolas Stein.
