User:S.enahoro/Olivier Guillon (Scientist)

Olivier Guillon (* 11. December 1975 in Strasbourg) is a French-German materials scientist and engineer. He is the Director of the Institute of Energy and Climate Research (IEK-1): Materials Synthesis and Processing at Forschungszentrum Jülich and professor at RWTH Aachen University.

Life and Career
Olivier Guillon studied materials science at the Ecole des Mines d'Alès and obtained his doctorate Electromechanical characterization and modelling of PZT ferroelectric ceramics at the Université de Franche-Comté in 2003. In parallel, he studied music at the conservatory of Besançon (majoring in organ).

Turning down a permanent position at INSA Lyon, he moved to Germany in 2004 and worked as a postdoctoral researcher in Prof. Jürgen Rödel's group at Technische Universität Darmstadt. After a research stay at the University of Washington, he returned to Darmstadt in 2007 to lead a DFG-funded Emmy Noether group.

Guillon was appointed in 2011 to the professorship of Mechanics of Functional Materials at Friedrich Schiller University Jena. The habilitation process Constrained sintering of ceramic materials started at Technische Universität Darmstadt was completed in January 2012. . In February 2014, he became director of the Institute of Energy and Climate Research at Forschungszentrum Jülich, coupled with an appointment as full professor at RWTH Aachen University. He has also been a visiting professor at the Tokyo Institute of Technology, University of Grenoble Alpes & CEA and National Taiwan University of Science and Technology.

Research focus
Guillon's research focuses on ceramic materials and components for energy applications as well as on ceramic manufacturing processes, particularly sintering. His interests include solid-state lithium and sodium batteries, solid oxide fuel and electrolysis cells, gas separation membranes and catalytic membrane reactors, high-temperature ceramics, and protective coatings for gas turbines. . He has been investigating new sintering processes, especially under the effect of mechanical stresses and electric fields. From 2016 to 2023, he coordinated the DFG Priority Program Manipulation of matter controlled by electric and magnetic field: Towards novel synthesis and processing routes of inorganic materials (SPP 1959).
