Biography
Victor Balédent obtained his PhD (Physics) in 2010 for his work on the magnetic properties of superconducting cuprates studied by neutron scattering, awarded by a prize from the French Neutron Society. During a two years Postdoc at synchrotron SOLEIL, he extend his research to various superconducting materials (pnictides, heavy fermions, cuprates) and widens his scientific thematics to metal-insulating transitions and multiferroicity. He is currently an Associate Professor at the University of Paris Sud, Orsay, France. He was recruited as an Assistant Professor in 2013 at the Laboratory of Solid Physics, Orsay, France. His research focus on the manifestation of electronic correlations in physical properties in several classes of material from Mott-insulators and superconductivity through multiferroics. Techniques used are neutron and X-ray elastic and inelastic scattering with different sample environment : high pressure, magnetic field and low temperature.
