Dr Nicolas ARNAUD
Nicolas Arnaud is a CNRS researcher at the Institute of Physics of the Two Infinities (IP2I) in Lyon. He works on the Virgo experiment (gravitational wave detection). He is also the scientific delegate for “science communication and education” at IN2P3.
Dr Nicolas ARBOR
Nicolas Arbor is a professor in the Faculty of Physics and Engineering at the University of Strasbourg. Trained as a nuclear physicist, he works at the Hubert Curien Multidisciplinary Institute (IPHC) on research projects in radiation protection and nuclear measurements for medical, industrial, and environmental applications. He is also the scientific delegate for the “coordination of national programs on nuclear energy” at CNRS Nuclear and Particles, and in this capacity currently leads the PEPR SCIAM on “Upstream Sciences for Nuclear Fission”.
Dr Nicolas DELERUE
Nicolas Delerue is a CNRS research director at IJCLab in the field of particle accelerators. He is particularly interested in applications of low-energy particle accelerators. He organizes summer schools on this subject.
Dr Camille DUCOIN
Camille Ducoin is an associate professor at Lyon 1 University. Her research focuses on nuclear astrophysics. After beginning her career with the theoretical study of nuclear matter in compact stars (supernovae and neutron stars), she joined an experimental team at the Institute of Physics of the Two Infinities (IP2I) in Lyon, where she studies the nuclear reactions responsible for the formation of elements in stars.
She also attaches great importance to sharing science with the general public and with schools.
Emmanuel JULLIEN
Head of the communication department of the National Institute of Nuclear and Particle Physics since 2019, Emmanuel Jullien specializes in scientific information and communication.
He worked for twenty years as a science journalist before joining the CNRS. Since 2020, he has overseen the editorial and technical modernization of the site.
María Belén LOVINO
Science communication officer at the Laboratory of Physics of the Two Infinities – Irène Joliot-Curie and at the National Institute of Nuclear and Particle Physics since 2025. Trained as a physics teacher, she now works in science communication in the fields of particle physics and nuclear physics.
She is committed to creating and supporting spaces for dialogue around fundamental science, encouraging accessible exchanges between research and society.
Dr Nathalie MICHEL
Nathalie Michel is a physics agrégée and a research engineer at SUBATECH, within the PRISMA team. She works on topics related to applications of ionizing radiation, particularly in the field of medical and environmental isotopes, at the interface between fundamental research, instrumentation, health, and the environment. She is currently the scientific lead of the SMILES project, which consists of developing a mass separator coupled with laser ionization. She also takes part in science communication activities, contributing to dialogue between research, innovation, and society.
Dr Gilles MONTAVON
DR1-CNRS, trained as a chemist (University of Strasbourg) with a specialization in radiochemistry (doctorate from Paris XI University). At the SUBATECH laboratory (Nantes), he develops research on the behavior of trace radioelements in environmental contexts (management of radioactive waste) and medical contexts (use of radioactive isotopes in nuclear medicine).
Since 2015, he has also taken part in a multidisciplinary research program on the effects of natural radioactivity on ecosystems, with its study area located in the uranium-bearing region of Auvergne.
Dr François de OLIVEIRA SANTOS
A CNRS research director, François de Oliveira Santos is a researcher at the Grand National Heavy Ion Accelerator (GANIL). An experimental physicist, he works in the fields of nuclear astrophysics, nuclear structure, and fundamental interactions. He was coordinator of the LISE facility at GANIL, which enabled numerous discoveries.
Dr Yves SACQUIN
Yves Sacquin is a particle physicist at the CEA and scientific advisor at the Institute for Research into the Fundamental Laws of the Universe (Irfu) in Saclay. His research focuses in particular on neutrino physics and on the study of antimatter within international experiments at CERN. He is also involved in the dissemination of scientific culture and contributed to the creation and development of the educational site laradioactivite.com.
He leads science cafés and participates in the juries of the Cgénial competition (organized by the Sciences à l’école program of the French Ministry of National Education) and the “Goût des sciences” prize of the French Ministry of Higher Education and Research.
Dr Luca TERRAY
Luca Terray is a volcanologist at Clermont Auvergne University and works within the Clermont Auvergne Physics Laboratory and the Magmas and Volcanoes Laboratory. His research combines nuclear physics and geochemistry, and focuses on the radioactivity of volcanoes to understand how it can inform us about underground movements of magma and hydrothermal fluids. As a research engineer, an important part of his work is devoted to developing instruments and methods for measuring radon in volcanic gases and waters, as well as to scientific expeditions on active volcanoes.
Dr Christian DE LA VAISSIÈRE
Christian de la Vaissière is a CNRS research director within the National Institute of Nuclear and Particle Physics (IN2P3). A former student of École Centrale, he carried out research in high-energy physics and also became involved in the dissemination of scientific culture, thanks to Jeanne Laberrigue, who was his PhD supervisor.
He notably contributed to the creation of the educational site laradioactivite.com in the early 2000s with Jeanne Laberrigue and Yves Sacquin. Since then and up to the present day, he has authored a large number of pages on the current site, thanks to the contacts he developed in the fields of radioactivity and nuclear science.
