Mathieu Salanne is professor at Sorbonne University (Paris) and a junior member of the Institut
Universitaire de France (2020-2025). He graduated in chemical engineering from Chimie ParisTech in
2004 and obtained his PhD in 2006 at Sorbonne University. His research focuses on the modelling of
molten salts (for energy production) and ionic liquids (for electrochemical storage of energy). He has
published more than 140 peer-reviewed journal articles. He has received the IUPAP young scientist prize in
computational physics in 2014 for the development of methods to allow realistic atomistic
simulation of molten salts and ionic liquids in situations of relevance to electrochemistry. He currently
holds an ERC consolidator grant for the project AMPERE (Accounting for the Metallicity of the
electrode, the Polarization of the Electrolyte and Redox reactions in computational Electrochemistry).
He is member of the Editorial Advisory Board of the Journal of Chemical Physics and of the Scientific
Steering committee of PRACE (Partnership for Advanced Computing in Europe, funded by the EU).
