Dr Ivette AGUILAR
Team leader
ivette.aguilar@college-de-france.fr
Ivette obtained her Ph.D. in 2022 from the Chimie du Solide et de l’Énergie laboratory under the supervision of Prof. Jean-Marie Tarascon. Her doctoral research focused on gaining fundamental insights into aqueous Zn/MnO2 batteries. She subsequently continued as a postdoctoral researcher, working on the development of proof-of-concept devices based on this technology. Today, she leads a research team dedicated to prototyping and assessing the commercial viability of Zn/MnO2 battery systems. This technology is supported by three European patents and by CNRS Innovation through a prematuration project.

Romain obtained his PhD from INRS-EMT, Canada and has been working on all-solid-state batteries since October 2018. He has previously worked as a postdoctoral researcher at the Institute of Materials Science of Barcelona, Spain from June 2017 through September 2019 and at the CSE lab from January 2015 through February 2017.
Nour obtained her PhD from Université de Picardie Jules Verne (Amiens, France) in the LRCS laboratory and joined CSE for a one-year post-doc in 2021 where she worked on silicon anodes for lithium-ion batteries. She then pursued her career in Blue Solutions (Quimper, France), the first company to mass produce solid-state lithium-metal batteries, using Lithium Metal Polymer (LMP®) technology. As of May 2024, Nour’s studies are located in CSE where a joint lab has been created between CSE, Sorbonne University and Blue Solutions to develop the next generation of Li metal solid-state batteries with main focus on hybrid electrolytes. Connect with her on LinkedIn.
Ronan obtained his double engineering degree from ESPCI Paris, in chemical physics, and Mines Paris, in material science. From March 2021 to March 2024 he worked on the development of hybrid interfaces between the Li-metal and the electrolyte for solid-state batteries. Since October 2024, Ronan’s studies are located in CSE where a joint lab has been created between CSE, Sorbonne University and Blue Solutions to develop the next generation of Li metal solid-state batteries with main focus on hybrid electrolytes.
