She holds a PhD in physics from the Ecole Centrale in Paris, where her dissertation focused on the design of a new energy filter for transmission electron microscopy.
Scholar-generated biography
Cécile Hébert is a researcher at the Ecole Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne with expertise in Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM). Her work focuses on the characterization of nanomaterials and their applications in energy and catalysis. She has published extensively on topics such as solar water-splitting, magnetic circular dichroism, and carbon-mediated catalysis. Her research also includes the use of TEM for environmental studies, such as the reduction of nickel oxide particles and the visualization of lipid phases. Hébert's contributions span both experimental and computational approaches, including the simulation of electron energy loss near edge structures (ELNES) and the analysis of oxygen deficiency in multiferroic thin films.
