Mikhael Bechelany
Mikhael Bechelany
obtained his PhD in Materials Chemistry from the University of Lyon (France) in 2006, under the supervision of Prof. P. Miele and guidance of Prof. D. Cornu. His doctoral work was focused on the synthesis and characterization of 1D nanostructures (nanotubes, nanowires, and nanocables) based on boron and silicon. He then worked as a postdoctoral researcher at EMPA in Thun (Switzerland), where his activities involved the fabrication of nanomaterials (nanoparticles and nanowires), their organization, and nanomanipulation for applications in various fields such as photovoltaics, robotics, and the development of chemical and biological sensors. In 2010, he joined the European Institute of Membranes (UMR CNRS 5635) in Montpellier (France) as a CNRS Researcher. His work focuses on the development of new synthesis methods such as Atomic Layer Deposition (ALD), electrospinning, and 3D printing for the formation of nanomaterials (metals and ceramics). Additionally, he conducts research on nanostructuring using natural lithography techniques involving nanospheres and/or membranes. His research activities primarily revolve around the fabrication of inorganic membranes including oxides and non-oxides for specific applications, particularly in the fields of energy (osmotic energy and hydrogen separation), health (cell proliferation and controlled drug delivery), and environment (sensors, biosensors, and water purification). His work is carried out in collaboration with academic and industrial partners, as well as within various ANR or European projects. Mr. Bechelany has also established numerous national and international collaborations. He serves as a co-editor for the “Journal of Colloid and Interface Science” and is a member of the editorial boards of “Applied Surface Science Advances” and “International Journal of Bioprinting.” He is also the editor-in-chief of a section in “Nanomaterials” and a section in “Sensors.” As of mid-2023, he has authored 320 high-impact publications, presented 43 conference papers, contributed to 14 book chapters, and holds 13 patents (h-index = 62). Furthermore, he has been involved in the co-founding of 5 start-ups.
