Chrystelle salameh
My scientific journey began in 2011 during my Master's internship at Sorbonne University, where I worked on the synthesis of mesoporous materials and their functionalization for heterogeneous catalysis. This experience sparked my passion for designing advanced materials to address challenges in energy and sustainability.
Later that year, I was awarded a Marie Curie Fellowship to pursue a PhD at the University of Montpellier, focusing on the synthesis of functional non-oxide ceramic nitrides for hydrogen production and storage. I received my PhD in 2014 with the european label, and in 2015 my doctoral research was recognized with two Best PhD Thesis Awards from the Groupe Français de la Céramique (GFC) and the European Ceramic Society (ECerS).
Following my PhD, I joined the Laboratoire de Chimie de la Matière Condensée de Paris (LCMCP) at Sorbonne University, where I specialized in the structural characterization of preceramic polymers using advanced solid-state NMR spectroscopy. This experience provided me with a deeper understanding of the relationships between molecular structure, precursor chemistry, and the properties of polymer-derived ceramics.
I then broadened my research expertise through two additional postdoctoral positions in Paris. At Paris Cité University, I worked on the microstructuring and chemical functionalization of surfaces for atmospheric water harvesting, gaining expertise at the interface of soft chemistry, microfabrication, and microfluidics. I subsequently joined the Collège de France, where I developed biomaterials for tissue engineering, further expanding my interdisciplinary research background.
In 2017, I joined the École Nationale Supérieure de Chimie de Montpellier (ENSCM), University of Montpellier, as an Associate Professor. And In 2026 I defended my Habilitation. I teach inorganic chemistry, materials chemistry, green chemistry, and membrane science through lectures and laboratory courses for undergraduate and graduate engineering students. In addition to my teaching and research activities, I serve as Head of Valorization and Industrial Relations and Head of Entrepreneurship and Innovation at ENSCM, where I foster collaborations with industry and support technology transfer and innovation initiatives.
At the European Membrane Institute (IEM), I lead research focused on the molecular engineering and additive manufacturing of advanced ceramic and composite materials for sustainable energy, environmental technologies, and healthcare applications. My current research combines materials chemistry, polymer-derived ceramics, additive manufacturing, membranes technologies and catalysis to develop next-generation functional materials for CO₂ valorization, water treatment and gaz separation. My work spans the entire materials development chain, from precursor chemistry and molecular design to architected materials and functional devices.
Outside the laboratory, I enjoy spending time with my family, whether exploring nature on hiking trails or simply enjoying everyday adventures together.
