Marc J. M. Abadie, DSc

Professor Emeritus, Institute Charles Gerhardt of Montpelier-Aggregates, Interfaces, and Materials for Energy (ICGM-AIME, UMR CNRS 5253), University Montpelier, France

Professor Marc J. M. Abadie is an Emeritus Professor at the University Montpellier, France. He was the head of the Laboratory of Polymer Science and Advanced Organic Materials-LEMP/MAO. He is currently a Michael Fam Visiting Professor at the School of Materials Sciences and Engineering, Nanyang Technological University NTU, Singapore. His present activity concerns high-performance polymers for PEMFCs, composites and nanocomposites, UV/EB coatings, and biomaterials. He has published 11 books and 11 patents. He has advised nearly 95 MS and 52 PhD students with whom he has published over 400 papers. He has more than 40 years of experience in polymer science with 10 years in the industry (IBM, USA; Ministry of Defence, UK; and SNPA/Total, France). In the 1980s, he created the International Symposium on Polyimides and High-Temperature Polymers, a.k.a. STEPI, which takes place every other three years in Montpellier, France. The next symposium, STEPI 12, will be in June 2021.
