Vincent Bouchiat is a director of research at Neel Institute at National Center of Scientific Research (CNRS-Grenoble) in France. He received his education at the School of Physics and Chemistry of Paris and at the University Pierre & Marie Curie. He then prepared his phD in the Quantronics Group of CEA-Saclay on the study of Quantum Coherence in superconducting devices. In 1997, He was appointed as a permanent research fellow at CNRS at the University of Marseilles where he proposed new methods of miniaturizing quantum devices and SQUIDs using Scanning Probe Microscopy and carbon nanostructures. He moved to the low temperature lab of Grenoble in 2000 where efforts were directed towards the interfacing of molecular devices and Graphene with superconducting electrodes. He is currently orienting his research on biomedical applications of 2D materials. He was a visiting professor at Miller Institute at the Physics department of UC Berkeley during the academic years 2007-2008. He co-authored more than 70 peer-reviewed papers and hold 7 patents.
