Virginie Blondeau-Patissier

Virginie Blondeau-Patissier joined the LPMO in 2001, after obtaining her Doctorate of Science in physics and chemistry at the University of Bur-undy. The following year, she obtained a position as assistant professor at the University of Franche-Comte. Since then, she has been working in the Institute FEMTO-ST on surface acoustic wave devices and technologies of microfabrication dedicated to microtechnology. She has thus been able to develop acoustic sensors dedicated to various applications, including the development of chemical sensors for toxic gases (anhydrous hydrofluoric acid, hexa-, carbon monoxide, hydrogen, etc.). Gradually, her interest has focused on the development of surface wave microbalances in liquid media and associated electronics. In parallel, Virginie Blondeau-Patissier is working on the characterization of materials by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (equipment purchased in 2003 at her request and she is responsible within the Central Technology MIMENTO FEMTO-ST). She participates in numerous studies initiated by different laboratories and companies (Utinam, Schlumberger, CEA, etc.) to characterize deposits and substrates.
