WebsiteProfile on LPS

Hélène Bouchiat (born 1958) is a French condensed matter physicist specializing in mesoscopic physics and nanoscience.[1] She is a director of research in the French National Centre for Scientific Research (CNRS), associated with the Laboratoire de Physique des Solides at Paris-Sud University.[2] Topics in her research include supercurrents, persistent currents, graphene, carbon nanotubes, and bismuth-based topological insulators.

Early life and education

Bouchiat is the daughter of physicists Marie-Anne Bouchiat and Claude Bouchiat.[3]

She was a student at the École normale supérieure.[1][4] Her 1986 doctoral dissertation, Transition verre de spin : comportement critique et bruit magnétique, was supervised by Philippe Monod [fr] at Paris-Sud University.[5]

Career

With the exception of an 18-month postdoctoral research visit at Bell Labs, Bouchiat has spent her entire career with the CNRS.[1]

Honors and awards

Bouchiat is a member of the French Academy of Sciences, elected in 2010.[2] The academy also gave her their Anatole and Suzanne Abragam Prize in 1994, and their Jaffé Prize [fr] in 1998. She won the CNRS bronze and silver medals in 1987 and 2007 respectively.[1]
