Biographie
Cedric MASTAIL is Associate Professor at the University of Poitiers and Pprime Institute, Materials Physics and Mechanics Department (DPMM), and a member of the “PPNa” group (Nanostructures Physics and Properties).He obtained his PhD in « Physique des matériaux » at the Université Paul Sabatier (UPS) in 2009.
Within the “PPNa” group, he joined the research topic “Dynamics of thin films growth”, which aims at gaining a better understanding of the early stages of nucleation and growth in thin films deposited under energetic conditions.
Using multi-scale approaches coupling DFT/MD/kMC methodologies, he investigates the links and interdependencies between properties and nanostructures of deposited thin films, their growth mechanisms and the experimental growth process used.
