Biography
David GROSSIN is Associate Professor of the Institut National Polytechnique de Toulouse (University of Toulouse, France). He is a teacher in Materials Chemistry in the Engineering school INP-ENSIACET and team leader of “Phosphates, Pharmacotechnics, Biomaterials ” research group of the CIRIMAT Carnot Institute in Toulouse. He received his PhD Materials Chemistry (2006) from the University of Caen for his work concerning the “development of microwave heating process in order to elaborate ceramics with particular electric properties”. From this to 2007, Dr. Grossin occupied a position of Contractual Assistant-Professor at the Cherbourg School of Engineering, his research activity in the LUSAC concerned mainly inorganic materials processing and shaping. Since 2007, His main research activity concerns the investigation of calcium phosphate compounds (characterizations, shaping, additive manufacturing, coating), in particular of biomimetic nanocrystalline apatites, and substituted hydroxyapatite for medical application. He has led 10 international project and he has generated 4 880 k€ from successful research proposals in national and European research agencies (including ANR, MNT Era-Net, PHC, Carnot, H2020). D. Grossin regularly supervises Ph.D theses in Materials Sciences and is involved in the co-direction of undergraduate students and postdoctoral fellows. Beside the publication of 60+ articles in International journals (details on http://www.researcherid.com/rid/C-3217-2009), D. Grossin's scientific production includes the co-writing of 4 Book Chapters and the presentation of International keynote lectures. D. Grossin is a member of the Editorial Board of "Journal of the Australian Ceramics Society" and "Coatings". He acts as a scientific expert for standardization of the ISO TC 150 “Implants for surgery”, ISO TC 261 “Additive manufacturing” and he is the chairman of the French comity on “orthopaedic implant” AFNOR/S93P
