Topics:
- Block copolymer self-assembly
- Elaboration of nanostructured thin films and membranes
- Structural characterization of polymer materials
After receiving a Ph.D. in physics (under the guidance of Dr. T. Baron) at the University of Grenoble (Joseph Fourier, 2008), and completing a post-doctoral fellowship at Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) with Professor C. A. Ross, Karim Aissou became a CNRS (the French national center for scientific research) researcher in 2013. He was recruited at Laboratoire de Chimie des Polymeres Organiques (LCPO) to work with Professor G. Hadziioannou on the directed self-assembly (DSA) of block copolymer (BCP) thin films. He is currently working at IEM on the self-assembly of BCP membranes for applications in batteries, filtration, etc.
Dr. Karim Aissou authored about 40 publications and more than 10 patents:
