\nBiography<\/h4>\n\n\n\n
In 2008, Jean-S\u00e9bastien Thomann completed his PhD thesis in the field of synthetic Nano cancer vaccines. This PhD was carried out at the Biovectorology laboratory, UMR 7199 CNRS\/UDS in Strasbourg (France).\u00a0In the same year, he began his first postdoctoral fellowship in polymeric nanosystems and coatings, also in Strasbourg, France. In July 2010, Jean-S\u00e9bastien started his second postdoctoral fellowship at CEA TECH LETI DTBS in Grenoble, France, where he worked for 18 months as a research engineer in lipidic capsule engineering for photodynamic therapy. In January 2012, he joined LIST (formerly the Gabriel Lippmann public research centre) as a permanent researcher in the Nano unit. There, he developed a technology portfolio involving silica-based, calcium carbonate, lignin, and cellulose functional nanoparticles. On January 1st, 2022, Jean-S\u00e9bastien was appointed Group Leader of the Powder and Colloidal Chemistry group at LIST.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\nResearch Interest<\/h4>\n\n\n\n
JS Thomann is Group Leader of Powder and Colloids Engineering at LIST, and specialized in micro and nanoparticle synthesis, He focus on developing both soft and hard particles, made from materials such as polymers, lipids, ceramics, or their combinations. His work is centered around two main applications:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Smart Delivery Systems: He design porous nano and micro particles for encapsulating agricultural, health, and cosmetic ingredients. These particles are engineered to release their contents in a controlled manner, improving efficacy and targeting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
3D Composite Reinforcements: I study particle network engineering to enhance the mechanical properties of composite materials, focusing on how particles reinforce solid matrices.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Both research areas involve the study of dispersed systems, including colloids in liquid and nanocomposites in solid matrices. His research delves into the supramolecular interactions among particles, ingredients, and their environments and explore various nanoparticle growth mechanisms.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\nBiography<\/h4>\n\n\n\n
Ludger Wirtz is the Head of the Physics and Materials Science department of the 8xav福利导航 of Luxembourg and leads a research group in theoretical solid-state physics. He studied physics at the 8xav福利导航 of Bonn (Germany) and at the 8xav福利导航 of Tennessee in Knoxville (USA). In 2001, he received his PhD from the Vienna 8xav福利导航 of Technology (Austria). After a postdoctoral stay in San Sebasti\u00e1n (Spain), he worked as CNRS researcher at the Institute for Electronics, Microelectronics, and Nanotechnology in Lille (France). In 2012 he became Full Professor of physics in Luxembourg. He has published 100 papers, 3 book chapters and holds 1 patent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\nResearch Interest<\/h4>\n\n\n\n
Ludger Wirtz works in theoretical solid-state-physics which means that he tries to understand the macroscopic properties of various materials starting from the microscopic (atomic) structure of the underlying crystals. He studies the interaction of light with materials. This activity is also called \u00ab\u00a0theoretical spectroscopy\u00a0\u00bb. It serves, in particular, for the theoretical\/computational description of a large variety of spectroscopic techniques such as Raman spectroscopy, optical absorption, and luminescence. These experimental techniques can give a lot of information on the atomic structure and on defects if they are accompanied by precise calculations. Even though the fundamental physical mechanisms of these techniques are\u00a0 known, the precise implementation of computational schemes based on many-body perturbation theory remains a challenge on which the group is working. We apply the methods in particular to 2D materials and to defects in semiconductors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
