Patrice Simon
French chemist (electrochemistry, nanoscience)
Patrice Simon (born 1969) is a French chemist in the field of materials science and electrochemistry. He is currently a Distinguished Professor at the Université de Toulouse (former Université Toulouse III Paul Sabatier) since 2007.
His research focuses on the synthesis and characterization of materials for electrochemical energy storage applications, particularly for power systems (supercapacitors and batteries). More specifically, he develops advanced electrochemical characterization techniques to understand the charge storage mechanisms in confined environments, a research topic he initiated in 2006 with Yury Gogotsi.
He currently serves as Director of the research network on electrochemical energy storage RS2E. Alongside Hélène Burlet (CEA), he also leads the "Priority Research Programs and Equipment" (PEPR) Batteries, funded as part of the national battery acceleration strategy.
Patrice Simon is Fellow of the French Academy of Sciences, of the French Academy of Technologies. He was also appointed as Fellow of the European Academy of Sciences and Academia Europaea.
Biography
Simon studied at École Nationale Supérieure des Ingénieurs en Arts Chimiques et Technologiques (ENSIACET) in Toulouse, graduating with M.S. in metallurgy (1992) and Ph.D. in Materials science (1996). Thereafter he worked as assistant professor of Electrochemistry at the Conservatoire National des Arts et Métiers in Paris, and from 2001 at the CIRIMAT laboratory of materials science, Université Paul Sabatier, Toulouse. He received his D.Sc.
“Patrice Simon” enters the record as french chemist (electrochemistry, nanoscience). Crown Archives preserves that source wording while asking what Patrice, Simon and French can confirm, complicate or overturn.
Why this record matters
“Patrice Simon” is worth following because a concise public description often conceals a longer documentary argument. Here, Patrice, Simon and French provides the most credible route into that argument.
Vocabulary and entity names are the principal evidence signals here, because they determine the precision of every later search. The source revision retrieved here is dated Aug 31, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q56695015. VIAF identifies the subject as 299997516. The Library of Congress control number is no2009087600. 3 of 3 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 1969, 2007, 2006 and 1992.
Overview language is designed for orientation and should not be treated as a substitute for the evidence cited beneath it. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
