Prof. Doan PHAM MINH, Ecole Nationale Supérieure des Mines d'Albi, France

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                            

Biography: Doan PHAM MINH received his PhD degree in chemistry at the University Lyon 1, France in 2006. After post-doc experiences at French Institute of Petroleum and IRCELYON (France), in 2009, he has joint IMT Mines Albi as assistant professor, affected at the RAPSODEE research center. Since 2011, he is associate professor at IMT Mines Albi where he has led (2016-2021) a research team composed of 5 permanent staffs and around 15 PhD students and post-doc. Currently, he is Full Professor and Deputy Director of the RAPSODEE research center (around 100 persons). In parallel with teaching activities, his research is focussed on the development of performing functional materials applied in the energy field. He mostly works on new catalysts and catalytic process engineering for the valorisation of biomass, bio-wastes and industrial coproducts into energy carriers, e.g. syngas, hydrogen, methane, alternative fuels etc., as well as on refractory ceramics applied in high-temperature sensible thermal energy storage. He is principal investigator (PI) and co-PI of more than 40 research projects, and is supervisor and co-supervisor of 26 PhD students, 13 post-docs and research engineers and 27 internships. He is currently editorial board member of Waste and Biomass Valorization (Springer), and co-organizer of the Summer School in catalysis which is held every two years since 2019.
