Dr. Anne Julbe obtained her PhD in 1989 for the development of sol–gel-derived SiC and SiO2 membranes and materials. In 1989, she received a tenure researcher position at the CNRS in the group of Prof. Louis Cot. She initiated a study on the use of ceramic membranes for gas separation and catalytic reactors, using nanophase oxides and zeolites. In 2002, she defended her habilitation thesis on the “Contribution of Material Science to the development of Membrane reactors”, and she advanced to the position of CNRS-Directeur de Recherche in 2004. She led a research department on the “Design of Membrane Materials and Multifunctional systems” in the period 2010–2014, and she now leads a research team in the area of “Molecules, colloids and porous materials” at the Institut Européen des Membranes in Montpellier. Her current interests include the design and online characterization of original nanostructured multifunctional membranes for applications in gas separation, catalytic reactors, sensors and electrochemical systems.
