Brief Bio: Hyacinthe Randriamahazaka had received his Ph.D. in Physical Chemistry in 1991 from Université François Rabelais at Tours, France. From 1992, he worked as Associate Professor at Université Cergy-Pontoise in France. In 2005, he moved to Université Paris Diderot – Sorbonne Paris Cité as full Professor. He leads Surfaces – Ionic liquids – ELectrochemistry – Energy (SIELE) group within the laboratory ITODYS (CNRS UMR 7086). His major interest is in understanding the electrodeposition and electrografting processes, the photoelectrochemical processes, the heterogeneous electron transfer mechanisms, the charge transfer within organic and carbon based materials, particularly in room temperature ionic liquids environment. These studies focused on the development of various electrochemical devices (supercapacitors, artificial photosynthesis, redox-flow batteries, actuators, and nanogenerators). He is involved in many national and international projects (China, Japan, Singapore, Korea) supported by CNRS, the French Agency for Research ANR, and European Union within the FP7 and H2020 programmes. Hyacinthe Randriamahazaka is now First Class Professor, and was Deputy Director of the Master Chimie Paris Cité of Université Paris Diderot until 2018 (http://www.master.chimie.univ-paris-diderot.fr/). He is member of the Excellence Network LABEX SEAM (Science and Engineering of Advance Materials) of Université Paris Sorbonne Cité (http://www.labex-seam.fr). He has published 94 peer-reviewed scientific articles in international journals, 9 book chapters, 3 registered international patents, 75 invited international conferences, and 90 oral communications in national and international.
