Peter REISS

I am Research Director at the fundamental research IRIG of CEA Grenoble and Deputy Head of the SyMMES laboratory, which focuses on molecular systems and nanomaterials for energy and health. My current research activities focus on colloidal semiconductor quantum dots, metal halide perovskite nanocrystals and silicon nanowires, in particular their synthesis, surface functionalization, integration into optoelectronic devices, use in energy conversion and bio-detection. The most exciting facets in my work are the supervision of young researchers and the discovery of novel nanomaterials, the investigation of their properties and the understanding of the chemistry and physics behind them.

On a more personal note, I am a mountain enthousiast and strongly concerned by environmental pollution and climate change.
