Welcoming New Phd Student Camille Scola!
Camille Scola recently began her PhD in the team on our CNRS-funded 80Prime project BauxCLEAN.
Camille is joint-supervised with Géosciences Rennes by Dr. Mathieu Martinez (right in the photo) along with myself and Frédéric Barrière - the man behind the camera.
As shown in the photo, Camille was enthusiastic to go on the initial field survey to Bédarieux to collect some real bauxite samples. That survey has been completed, giving us dozens of samples to work on over the course of the 3-year research project.
Welcome Camille! Her pages on the Géosciences Rennes page and ISCR page can be found here: https://geosciences.univ-rennes.fr/actualites/camille-scola-doctorante-iscr-dans-lequipe-paleoenvironnement
James A. Behan
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.
