Rémy Boulesteix is an associate Professor at the IRCER (Research Center on Ceramics), a mixed University of Limoges-CNRS (National Center of Scientific Research) center. In 2009, he received his Ph.D. from Limoges University in the research field of sintering and optical properties of transparent rare-earth oxide ceramics. In 2010, he was awarded the Jean-Claude Cassaing prize from Limoges University and the Best Thesis prize of the French Ceramic Group (GFC). Then, he joined the Laboratory of Condensed Matter Chemistry of Paris (LCMCP) as a researcher on glass/ceramic materials. His current research interests are on advanced ceramic processes (advanced shaping, non-conventional sintering) and the microstructure property relationships of functional ceramics, especially for optical applications.
