Dominique Vuillaume received the Electronics Engineer degree from the Institut Supérieur d’Electronique du Nord, Lille, France, 1981 and the PhD degree and Habilitation diploma in solid-state physics, from the University of Lille, France in 1984 and 1992, respectively. He is research director at CNRS (centre national de la recherche scientifique) and he works at the Institute for Electronics, Microelectronics and Nanotechnology (IEMN), a CNRS laboratory at University of Lille. In 2000, he created and since headed the « Nanostructures, nanoComponents & Devices » (NCM) research group at IEMN. Since Sept. 2015, he his head of the department “Physics of materials and nanostructures” at IEMN.

His research interests (1982-1992) covered physics and characterization of point defects in semiconductors and MIS devices, physics and reliability of thin insulating films, hot-carrier effects in MOSFET’s. Since 1992, he has been engaged in the field of Molecular and Organic Electronics. His current research concerns:
– design and characterization of molecular and nanoscale electronic devices,
– elucidation of fundamental electronic properties of these molecular and nanoscale devices,
– study of functional molecular devices and integrated molecular systems,
– exploration of new computing paradigms using molecules and nanostructures.

He is the author or co-author of more than 200 scientific (peer-reviewed) papers and 70 invited talks in international conference in these fields. He was scientific advisor for industrial companies (Bull R&D center) on advanced CMOS technology reliability (1988-1990) and for the CEA (Commissariat à l’énergie atomique et aux énergies alternatives) for the “Chimtronique” (Chemistry for nanoelectronics) research program (2006-2013).
