C. Le Paven

Claire Le Paven received the Ph.D. degree in chemistry science from the University of Rennes 1, Rennes, France, in 1994. She completed a one-year Postdoctoral Fellowship in 1994 and 1995 with the Max Planck Institute of Stuttgart, Germany, in the H.-U. Habermeier Group. She has been an Associate Professor since 1995, first with the University of Evry Val d'Essonne, France, carrying out her research work with the Laboratory of Nanometric Multilayers directed by Pr. P. Houdy, and then from 2001, with the University of Rennes 1, France, with the Materials Department, Institut Universitaire de Technologie, Saint Brieuc. She is a Researcher with the Institut d'Electronique et des Technologies du numéRique (IETR, UMR-CNRS 6164), France. She has authored and coauthored more than 65 international papers, more than 140 conference presentations, and holds three patents. Her research interests include elaboration of innovative dielectrics and ferroelectrics materials, in ceramics and thin films forms, for telecommunication microwave applications, their physical-chemical characterizations (structural, optical, microstructural, thermal, electric, dielectric, and ferroelectric properties, etc.) and the fabrication of the related microwave devices (planar miniature and frequency agile antennas and miniature dielectric resonator antennas).
