Lise-Marie Lacroix is a lecturer at the University of Toulouse III – Paul Sabatier and a member of the Laboratory of Physics and Chemistry of Nano-Objects (LPCNO), Lise-Marie Lacroix was appointed in 2022 as a junior member at the University Institute of France.
At the physics-chemistry interface, Lise-Marie Lacroix works on the development of new materials by directed assembly of nanoparticles with optimized properties. By combining the study of synthetic reaction mechanisms and multi-scale physical properties, she was notably able to develop high-performance permanent magnets, without rare earth.
“This prize rewards highly talented scientists who will demonstrate how chemistry and process engineering can address current challenges facing society and provide solutions: decarbonization, recycling, advances in the fields of health and agro- food, new industrial systems… The mission of the FGL is to attract new talents, to train them in research and innovation to meet the needs of businesses and society in general,” explains Laurent Prat, president of the Gay-Lussac Federation.
“This prize, open to all chemistry disciplines, demonstrates that chemistry is at the heart of solutions to meet the challenges of today’s society. Chemists often say “Chemistry is everywhere, chemistry is life”. I completely agree with them. » summarizes Patrick Flandrin, president of the Academy of Sciences.
