M. CONSONNI Vincent

Activités / CV

Vincent Consonni received his Engineering Degree from Ecole Nationale Supérieure d'Electrochimie et d'Electrométallurgie de Grenoble (now Phelma) in Functional Materials in 2004 and then his PhD in Materials Science and Engineering in 2008 from Grenoble INP. His PhD thesis research works were carried out in CEA-LETI, Grenoble, on the development of polycrystalline CdTe films for X-ray detectors. He then spent a post-doctoral stay in Paul-Drude-Institut für Festkörperelektronik, Berlin, in which he investigated the nucleation and growth mechanisms of GaN nanowires by molecular beam epitaxy. He subsequently spent a post-doctoral stay in Laboratoire des Technologies de la Microélectronique (Université Grenoble Alpes), in which he investigated the formation mechanisms of ZnO nanowires by chemical deposition techniques. He joined Laboratoire des Matériaux et du Génie Physique (Université Grenoble Alpes) as a permanent CNRS Research Scientist in 2011 and received his "Habilitation à Diriger des Recherches" in 2016. He was appointed CNRS Research Director in 2023.

Vincent Consonni is the Head of NanoMAT Team and he has been supervising the research line devoted to Semiconducting Nanowires and Nanostructures since 2013.

His research focuses on the physical-chemistry of micro- and nano-structures involving compound semiconductors (ZnO, Ga₂O₃, TiO₂, Sb₂S₃, ...) with a special emphasis on their chemical synthesis using wet chemistry (chemical bath deposition, sol-gel process), metal-organic chemical vapor deposition (MOCVD), and atomic layer deposition (ALD). He is currently working on ZnO nanowires and related heterostructures for piezoelectric devices and cosmetic applications, as well as on Ga₂O₃ thin films for power electronics.
