About the Nanomechanics Team

The nanomechanics group is a group of researchers from Laboratoire Charles Coulomb, University of Montpellier, aiming at studying physics of mechanical objects in the ‘nano’ world.

The nanomechanics team is a group started upon recruitment of Adrien Noury (the PI) in october 2017.

Since then, the group started its scientific activities by developing its own fabrication and measurement protocols.

Our team is always looking for new talents to join the adventure

Our Team Members

Adrien Noury

Principal Investigator

I am a CNRS researcher in Laboratoire Charles Coulomb – Université de Montpellier.

My main research fields are related to mechanics at the nanoscale, both from a fundamental and an applied point of view.

François Henn

Full professor

François is a Professor at the University of Montpellier, with a background in Physical Chemistry of Condensed Matter.

He has an extensive expertise in confined electrolytes, nanoporous media, ionic and molecular mobility, thermodynamics (including phase transitions) and surface physical-chemistry.

Said Pashayev

PhD Student

Said is a PhD student in joint supervision between the National Academy of Science of Azerbaïdjan (group of R. Jabbarov) and the University of Montpellier. His research focus is on the confinement of water inside carbon nanotubes.

Clarisse Basset

PhD Student

After my master thesis at the University of Missouri-Columbia on fully atomistic modelling of graphene quantum dots in aqueous solution, I graduated from a European master’s degree (taught in 3 different countries: France, Poland and Italy) on chemical nano-engineering.

I’m now doing a PhD at Charles Coulomb lab where my research is directed toward the dynamic properties of confined water inside nanochannels.

Huy-Nam Tran

Postdoc

Huy-Nam is a postdoctoral CNRS researcher in Laboratoire Charles Coulomb – Université de Montpellier.

His research interests focus on the optical and electrical properties of carbon nanotubes and their device applications

Gustavo Marcati

Postdoc

Gustavo received in 2019 his Ph.D. from São Paulo University, Brazil. Currently he his a postdoctoral researcher at University of Montpellier, France.

His main interests are micro and nanomechanical devices, microfabrication engineering and electronic instrumentation
