Cyril Garnero studied at the École Supérieure de Chimie Organique et Minérale. During his studies, he completed a one-year internship in Prof. John Philip's team at the Catholic University of America (Washington DC, USA), where he worked on the synthesis of nanowires of thermoelectric materials such as Bi2Te3, PbTe and Ge. Back in France, he completed his studies at Chimie ParisTech with a double degree as a chemical engineer and a research Master's in chemistry (2013).
He then carried out his PhD at the Laboratoire de Physique et Chimie des Nano-Objets (LPCNO, Toulouse), under the supervision of Bruno Chaudret and Lise-Marie Lacroix, as part of a collaboration with STMicroelectronics on the TOURS2015 project (2013-2016). His work focused on the organometallic synthesis of FeCo nanoparticles for the integration of magnetic composite materials on high-frequency inductors. Cyril continued with a post-doc at IC2MP (Poitiers), under the supervision of Stéphane Célérier, Aurélien Habrioux and Vincent Mauchamp, on the design of electrocatalysts for water electrolysis based on lamellar titanium carbides (MXenes). He then continued as a consultant in Engie's CRIGEN research laboratory, on the development of electrophotoactive coatings for hydrogen production.
Since February 2020, he has worked at IFPEN as a research engineer in the Divided Materials Engineering department, on the topic of materials for the new generations of all-solid-state batteries.
In parallel with his R&I activities, Cyril Garnero co-supervises PhD students (two) and M2 interns (three).
In terms of scientific output, Cyril Garnero has contributed to the publication of 13 scientific articles and 6 patents. He has an H-index of 10.
