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 Members
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.
Romain Lhermerout
Postdoctoral Researcher
Romain Lhermerout completed his PhD at Ecole Normale Supérieure in Paris, under the supervision of Kristina Davitt and Etienne Rolley, during which he studied contact angle dynamics and its link with the nanoscale disorder of the surface.
He then worked as a postdoctoral researcher at the University of Oxford, in the group of Susan Perkin, where he investigated electrostatic interactions and friction across ionic liquids that are confined at the molecular scale. His current research direction is to probe the physical properties of water under extreme confinement, inside individual carbon nanotubes.
