Marco Minissale

I am an experimental physicist, currently working at the PIIM (Physique des Interaction Ioniques et Moleculaire) laboratory as CNRS researcher (CRCN). After graduating in Physics and Astronomy at the University of Catania (Italy), I started my PhD thesis (2012-2014) at the University of Cergy-Pontoise (Val d’Oise, France) and LERMA laboratory in solid-state astrochemistry. I pursued my research activities with a postdoc in high-resolution infrared spectroscopy for atmospheric application at Pierre and Marie Curie University (Paris, France). Since the end of 2015, I moved to the Marseille area (France) to initially work on nuclear fusion related research (laser-matter and plasma-surface interactions) at Institut Fresnel and PIIM laboratory. Since 2019, I hold a position as a permanent researcher at the CNRS.

Research activities

Plasma- and ion-matter interaction for nuclear fusion relevant systems (H/W, He/W, …)

Laser-matter interaction (optical properties, high power laser, …)

Heterogeneous catalysis (adsorption, surface reactivity, …)

2D materials (growth, characterization, and functionalization)

Current projects

  • APIDAE (Atomic Processes on Interstellar Dust AnaloguEs), a project funded by PCMI (Physique-Chimie du Milieu Interstellar)
  • POLYPHENE (POLYmérisation d’hydrocarbures aromatiques polycycliques : une nouvelle voie de synthèse du graPHENE), a project funded by Region Sud, Period: 2020
