Phaner- Goutorbe Magali

Presentation

A physicist by training, Magali Phaner-Goutorbe specializes in advanced microscopy, in particular the design of tunneling and atomic force microscopes. Her research focuses on:

  • Instrumental improvements to microscopy techniques,
  • Understanding liquid/solid interfaces at the nanoscale,
  • Applications in nanomedicine and the environment.

Teaching

She teaches microscopic physics, atomistics, thermodynamics, surface analysis techniques and nanotechnology in the general engineering curriculum and in the Nanoscale Engineering master's program. A large proportion of its courses are taught in English.

Passionate about passing on knowledge, she is actively involved in science popularization projects:

  • Interventions in schools, colleges and lycées,
  • Organization of scientific events (Fêtes de la science, collaborations with the Institut Paul Bocuse),
  • Actions with young people as part of the CAPingé cordée to combat self-censorship in the face of higher education.
