Brief CV
Raul Arenal received his M.S. degree in Materials Science from the University of Joseph Fourier (Grenoble, France). He received his Ph.D. in Solid State Physics from Paris XI (Orsay, France) University. After he joined the Electron Microscopy Center in Argonne National Laboratory as post doctoral fellow. Dr Arenal is currently research scientist (charge de recherches) at the CNRS (Laboratoire d’Etude des Microstructures, CNRS-ONERA, France) and visiting scientist (sabbatical position) at the Laboratorio de Microscopias Avanzadas (LMA) at the INA. During this time he has been visiting researcher at ANL and at the National Institute of Materials Science (NIMS) at Tsukuba (Japan). His broad area of research interest lies in electron microscopy focused on materials science and nanoscience. These studies are mainly focused on the growth mechanism, structural and physical (electronic, optical, vibrational, mechanical) properties of nanomaterials based on carbon, boron and nitrogen as well as other nano-structures (gold nanoparticles, titania nano-objets,...), via transmission electron microscopy (TEM), associated spectroscopic techniques (EELS in particular) and other spectroscopic techniques.
