Scientific Program > Plenary Lecturers
We are very pleased to announce that the following plenary speakers have agreed to present at MS11
Prof. Ian FARNAN,
Professor of Earth & Nuclear Materials - Chair of the Cambridge Centre for Nuclear Energy, Cambridge - Director of the Imperial Cambridge Open (ICO) EPSRC CDT in Nuclear Energy, Cambridge (UK)
Ian studied for his PhD at the University of East Anglia, UK with Professor Ken Packer FRS, graduating in 1985. Following a short post-doc at the University of Warwick, UK, he joined Stanford University as a Research Associate with Jonathan Stebbins, developing high temperature NMR techniques to understand the fundamental mechanisms of flow in silicate liquids. In 1993, he joined the CNRS (CRPHT Orléans) and worked on laser heated NMR approaches to the dynamics of inorganic liquids at very high temperature. From 1996 he has been at the University of Cambridge. He is a co-founder of the Cambridge MPhil in Nuclear Energy. He developed jointly with Pacific Northwest National Laboratory and EC-JRC, Karlsruhe, magic-angle spinning approaches to NMR for highly radioactive materials. He leads or has led several UK and EU research consortia on the effects of radiation and water on nuclear waste forms and fuels. His current research interests include the application of NMR to molten salts for future nuclear energy systems.
Contribution : Dynamics of the LiCl-KCl system from Chlorine NMR: the effect of additives.
Prof. Mathieu SALANNE,
PHENIX, Physicochimie des Electrolytes et Nanosystèmes Interfaciaux, Sorbonne University, Paris and Maison de la Simulation, Saclay (France)
Mathieu Salanne is professor at Sorbonne University (Paris). He graduated in chemical engineering from Chimie ParisTech in 2004 and obtained his PhD in 2006 at Sorbonne University. His research focuses on the modelling of molten salts (for energy production) and ionic liquids (for electrochemical storage of energy). He has published more than 100 peer-reviewed journal articles. He has received the IUPAP young scientist prize in computational physics in 2014 as well as, together with his co-workers, the Prix La Recherche in Physics in 2013.
Contribution :
Prof. Toshiyuki NOHIRA,
Institute of Advanced Energy (IAE), Kyoto University, Kyoto (Japan)
Toshiyuki Nohira is a Professor in the Advanced Energy Utilization Division of the Institute of Advanced Energy at Kyoto University, where he has been since 2015. He was an Associate Professor during 2007-2014 and an Assistant Professor during 1998-2006 in the Graduate School of Energy Science at Kyoto University. He was a Visiting Scientist in the Department of Materials Science and Engineering at Massachusetts Institute of Technology in 2007. He received the degree of Doctor of Engineering from Kyoto University in 1998 for a thesis entitled “Electrochemical studies on hydride ion and hydrogen absorbing alloys in molten salt systems”, which was supervised by Professor Yasuhiko Ito. Professor Nohira’s research focused on electrochemical energy conversion and electrochemical material production utilizing molten salt and ionic liquid electrolytes. Recently, he has been working on the development of new sodium ion batteries using amide ionic liquids as electrolytes. He has also been researching and developing new production methods of solar-grade silicon using molten salt electrolysis. He published over 180 peer reviewed papers, 15 books and over 30 patents in the field of electrochemistry and inorganic chemistry. He was awarded The Young Scientists’ Prize, The Commendation for Science and Technology by the Minister of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology of Japan in 2009. He also received Sano Award for a Young Distinguished Researcher from The Electrochemical Society of Japan in 2006. He was awarded the Excellent Paper Award from The Electrochemical Society of Japan in 2000, 2006, 2010 and 2014
Contribution :
Prof. J.Robert SELMAN,
Distinguished Professor Emeritus of Armour College of Engineering, Chigago, Il (USA).
Prof. J. Robert Selman, has over 30 years of experience in battery and fuel cell research and development, and the global commercialization of these technologies. He has been a faculty member of Illinois Institute of Technology (I.I.T.), Chicago, for over 25 years, and served as Director of its Center for Electrochemical Science and Engineering until his retirement from teaching in 2002. He is currently Emeritus Professor and Distinguished Research Professor of Chemical Engineering. He has been involved in electrochemical engineering of batteries and fuel cells at Argonne National Laboratory, the University of California Lawrence Berkeley Lab. He has written over 135 journal papers and has six patents, among which are the basic patents for phase change material in Li-ion batteries (developed together with Said Al-Hallaj). In October 2010, he received the Grove Medal 2010 in Fuel Cell Science and Technology.
Contribution : Molten Salt Fuel Cells: diversity and convergence, cycles and recycling
Prof. Patrice CHARTRAND,
Department of Chemical Engineering of Polytechnique Montreal, co-director of Centre for Research in Computational Thermochemistry (CRCT), Montréal, (Canada)
Prof. Chartrand obtained his Ph.D. in Metallurgical Engineering from Polytechnique Montréal in 2001. He is teaching thermodynamics, mineral processing and pyrometallurgical processes in the chemical engineering and metallurgical engineering programs since 2003. He became full professor in June 2015. He is the Canadian Research Chair (Tier 1) in Computational Thermodynamics for High Temperature Sustainable Processes. Prof. Chartrand is Principal Investigator, since 2004, in a continuous series of NSERC-CRD Projects forming with Alcoa, Constellium, Hydro Aluminium and Rio Tinto Aluminum a Consortium nicknamed “A Virtual Laboratory for the Aluminum Industry”. Professor Chartrand authored and co-authored more than 110 scientific papers in peer-reviewed journals and holds 2 patents. For his work in the modelling of thermodynamic properties and phase equilibria in primary aluminium production Prof. Chartrand received the Grand Prix Alcan 2007 from the Académie des Sciences de l’Institut de France (French Academy of Science). He is co-director of the Centre for Research in Computational Thermochemistry (CRCT) at Polytechnique Montreal, and a co-developer of the FactSage Thermochemical Software Package for which he received the NSERC 2013 Synergy Award for Innovation (Leo Derykx Award) with Profs C.W. Bale (Poly), A.D. Pelton (Poly) and I-H. Jung (McGill).
