Prof. Paula Colavita Visits Rennes!
We were delighted to welcome Prof. Paula Colavita to the lab at the ISCR, to give a talk on her lab’s many fascinating projects on carbon nanomaterial characterisation.
Paula also participated at Carbon 2025 in Saint Malo - just a short train trip away from Rennes.
It is hard to believe it is more than a decade since I started my PhD in Paula’s lab at Trinity College Dublin. But it is a great feeling to continue collaborating, exchanging and working together after all of this time.
Thanks for the visit Paula and we will visit you in Dublin again soon for sure!

Chargé de Recherche/Assistant Professor CNRS
I am a Chargé de Recherche (Assistant Professor) based at the Institut des Sciences Chimiques de Rennes, France. My research focuses on the areas of nanomaterial electrochemistry, bioelectrochemistry and interfacial science for energy applications. I previously worked as a Marie Curie fellow (Université de Rennes) and postdoctoral researcher at the Centre for BioNano Interactions (CBNI) in the School of Chemistry, University College Dublin and as a postdoc and lecturer in Trinity College Dublin where I completed my PhD in physical chemistry with a focus on electrochemical and spectroscopic characterisation of nitrogenated carbon materials. I completed my Bachelor’s Degree in Chemistry at Trinity in 2014, when I graduated at the top of my class.
