Olivier Raccurt

Dr. Olivier Raccurt (male) is currently working on the durability and ageing mechanisms in the field of batteries for transport. He obtained in 2001 a master’s degree specialised in Materials Science from the University of Science and National Institute of Applied Science of Lyon, France. In 2004, he obtain a PhD specialised in Physics from the University of Aix-Marseille, France. In 2015, he obtained his accreditation to direct research (HDR) at the University Grenoble Alpes, France. In 2001, he started a research activity in the field of micro and nanotechnology (microsystems and biochip) at CEA LETI in Grenoble. In 2005, he joined the Division of Nanomaterial at CEA LITEN has a permanent researcher to lead a research group on nanoparticle synthesis and luminescent materials for renewable energy applications. He joined in 2011 the laboratory of High Temperatures Systems of CEA LITEN and National Institute of Solar Energy (INES). From 2011 to 2018, he had a group leader position and developed a new research activity on the durability of materials for solar thermal applications. Since June 2018, he has joined the Division of Energy and Hydrogen for Transportation at CEA LITEN in the laboratory of Post-mortem Analysis to work on battery durability and safety. His research activities are now centred on the advanced characterisation material analysis, degradation study (materials and battery systems) in real condition, accelerated test and lifetime analysis. He was involved in numbers of national and international project as coordinator and WP leader. He is the author or co-author of more than 62 publications, 100 international conferences communications and main inventor or co-inventor of 23 patents.
