Pascal Chabert receives the Silver Medal from CNRS
All the versions of this article: [English] [français]
The silver medal is presented to a researcher for the originality, quality, and importance of their work, which is recognized at national and international level.
Pascal Chabert obtained his PhD in Orsay University in 1999. After his PhD, he worked for eight months at UC Berkeley (USA) as a Visiting Postdoctoral Researcher in the group of prof. Michael A. Lieberman. In 2000 he entered the CNRS to work at the Ecole Polytechnique (Palaiseau, France) as a permanent researcher in LPP. His main research field is plasma physics and plasma processing. Until recently, the main area of application of his research has been plasma etching for microelectronics. However, since 2006 he has started activities in Plasma Propulsion for space application. He was the director of LPP from 2015 to 2019 and he is now Research Director at CNRS and professor at Ecole Polytechnique, head of the third-year curriculum on Space Science and Technology.
