Bruno Fabre

Bruno Fabre, born 1967, received his engineer diploma and M.S. degree in electrochemistry from the Ecole Nationale Supérieure d’Electrochimie et d’Electrométallurgie de Grenoble (ENSEEG now PHELMA, Institut National Polytechnique de Grenoble INPG, France) in 1990. After a Ph.D. under the guidance of Dr. Gérard Bidan (Commissariat à l’Energie Atomique CEA, Grenoble, France) in 1994 and a postdoctoral stay at the Département de Médecine Expérimentale (Lyon, France), he joined the laboratory of Molecular Electrochemistry in Rennes (France) as Chargé de Recherche at Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique (CNRS) in 1995. He spent one year as an invited researcher (NATO felloswship) in Ottawa (Canada) in Prof. Dan Wayner’s lab at the Steacie Institute for Molecular Sciences (National Research Council of Canada NRCC) in 2002. He is, since 2008, Directeur de Recherche at CNRS working at the Institut des Sciences Chimiques de Rennes (UMR CNRS 6226, France).

CV - Fabre Bruno - Updated: Nov 2019 - (90.33 KB)

His current research interests lie in the areas of chemically modified electrodes, the functionalization and micro- or nanopatterning of semiconducting surfaces (hydrogen-terminated silicon), and the development of functionalized semiconducting photoelectrodes for electrocatalytic purposes (electrolytic water splitting and CO₂ conversion).
