Rouxel, Didier: - Didier Rouxel is full Professor at the Institut Jean Lamour, Universite ́ de Lorraine, France, where he was the former head of the Micro and NanoSystems team and currently leads the Piezoelectric polymer group. Rouxel is graduated from the Ecole Supe ́rieure des Sciences et Techniques de l'Inge ́nieur de Nancy, Vandoeuvre, France. He completed his Ph.D in Material Sciences and Engineering from the University of Nancy I, France in 1993. He was expert for the French Agency for Food, Environmental and Occupational Health & Safety on "Nanomaterials and Health" and "Member of the Year 2014" of the French Society of Nanomedicine. Prof. Rouxel has been involved in particular in the spectroscopic analysis of inorganics and is vastly experienced in the analysis of poly- mer nanocomposite systems by almost all spectroscopic techniques. His major areas of interest include piezoelectric polymers, elastic properties of polymeric materials studied by Brillouin spectroscopy, development of polymer nanocomposite materials, development of micro-devices based on electro-active polymers, piezoelectric nanocrystals, microsensor devel- opment for surgery, shape memory alloy-piezoelectric device for energy harvesting, etc.
