- Received his B.S. degree in physics and chemistry, his M.S. and his Ph.D. (1996) in Materials Science and Engineering all
from the University of Nantes (France). After receiving his Ph.D., he worked for the University of Nantes until 2000 as an
Assistant Professor. He then joined as a Researcher the University of Delaware and the University of Hawaii from 2000 to 2004.
In 2005, he joined the University of Toledo where he became Associate Professor in 2008. He joined Old Dominion University
in 2011. His current research interests include studying new inorganic materials for renewable energy applications, developing
innovative tools for in-situ and real-time analysis, and developing novel architectures and techniques for the fabrication
of flexible and high efficiency solar cells.
