Didier Rouxel was born in Lyon, France, on
March 5, 1965. He received an Engineer degree
(5-year degree) in materials in 1989 from the
Ecole Supérieure des Sciences et Techniques de
l’Ingénieur de Nancy, Vandoeuvre, France. He
received his Ph.D. in material sciences and engi-
neering from the University of Nancy I, France in
1993. He is now fulltime professor in the Univer-
sité de Lorraine and he leads the team “Micro and
Nano Systems” in Institut Jean Lamour in Nancy,
France. His research has been mainly focused on physical chemistry of
surfaces and thin films, piezoelectric materials, elastic properties of mate-
rials studied by Brillouin spectroscopy, and development of micro-devices
based on polymer–nanoparticles nanocomposite materials, in particular
for biomedical applications. He was expert for the French agency ANSES
for the topic “Nanomaterials and Health” and Member of the Year of the
French Society of Nanomedicine in 2014.
