Présentation

Silvana MERCONE is a Full Professor at GREMAN, Tours University since 2021. She obtained the “Italian Laurea” in Solid State Physics at University of Rome “La Sapienza” in 2000 and her PhD sponsored by Marie Curie fellowship (EC) in Material Science in 2003 at the University of Caen (Normandy, France) - Laboratory CRISMAT. She became Assistant professor in 2006 after 3 years of post-graduate fellowships abroad (University of Federico II (Naples, Italy), GREYC Laboratory (ENSICAEN-Caen-France) and Columbia University (New York City-USA)). She has mainly worked on magnetic and electric properties of complex nanostructures (thin films and devices, nanoparticles and nanowires) focusing on the coupling between the structure and the ferroic properties (magnetic/electric). She has a good experience and knowhow on a broad number of experimental technics allowing the full study of the static and dynamic ferroic behaviour of complex materials (SANS and Polarized Neutron Reflectivity for magnetic phase homogeneity investigation, Broadband ferromagnetic resonance and electron paramagnetic resonance, static magnetization studies by SQUID and VSM) as well as of local near field microscopy (MFM, PFM). She has been coordinator and collaborating on several national and international projects. She directed/directs many Master degree internships as well as PhD Thesis. She has also directed and co-directed few post-doctoral fellowships and she trained an engineer responsible of the near field microscopy facility at LSPM to the SPM equipment. She has been responsible of 4 different educational program (master and undrgraduate degrees) during which she could participate to the pedagogical upgrade of the master structure and she was pleased to be talked for few collective responsibilities (CNU28, laboratory committee, PhD jury member, undergraduate students tutoring…). She is responsible since 2023 of a 5-years Graduating Programm in Quantum Technology (CMI TQ @ Physics department in Tours University). In 2011 she was an invited researcher at Hebrew University of Jerusalem at Racah Institut of Physics and she is also an invited researcher since 2012 at ESPCI (Paris). She has 66 publications referenced on WoS, 50 conferences and 12 invited seminars (H Factor: 20).
