Molecular physics, nanomedicine and simulation

Portrait of Fabien Picaud

Profile

Fabien Picaud conducts research at the interface of molecular physics, surface physics, nanoscience, quantum chemistry and biophysics. With a focus on biomedical applications, his work uses computational and theoretical tools to investigate nanowires, nanonetworks, nanopores and biological channels, contributing to advances in nanomedicine, biomimetics and theranostics.

Education and experience

Fabien Picaud studied physics at the University of Franche-Comté, completing a postgraduate research degree before earning his PhD on surface nanostructuring in 2001. After postdoctoral research at SISSA in Trieste, he became an Associate Professor in 2004 and obtained his accreditation to supervise research (HDR) in 2007. He is Deputy Director of the SINERGIES laboratory.

Research and teaching

His work has evolved from surface and nanoscale physics to molecular simulation, nanomedicine, biomimetic filtration and anticancer drug-delivery strategies. He also coordinates teaching for the university-access diploma programme (DAEU).

Current project

His research portfolio includes ANR IONESCO, NanoOligo, AMSTOR, Caneloni and nanoTRAIL_Lighter, together with GENCI and CRIANN high-performance computing projects.
