Mireille Turmine

Dr. Mireille Turmine is an associate professor (HDR) at Sorbonne University in Paris, France, and a senior member of the Laboratoire de Réactivité de Surface (LRS, UMR 7197). She received her Ph.D. in applied chemistry and industrial process engineering from Université Pierre et Marie Curie in 1991, followed by her habilitation à diriger des recherches (HDR) in 2002. The primary focus of her research endeavours has been on the physicochemistry of dispersed media, surfactant-based systems, and solid-liquid interfacial wettability.

Dr. Turmine's research focuses on the physicochemistry of complex reaction media, including solvent mixtures, micellar systems, and ionic liquids. Her work has applications in electrochemistry, energy storage, corrosion, and electrodeposition. Dr. Turmine has made significant contributions to the thermodynamics of solutions and interfaces by developing new approaches to describe nanoscale and confined systems, such as nanobubbles and nanoparticles. Dr. Turmine's work combines fundamental thermodynamic analysis with the experimental characterization of transport properties, wettability, and interfacial reactivity.

Dr. Turmine plays an active role in institutional governance as a member of the scientific councils of the Laboratoire de Réactivité de Surface and the Faculty of Chemistry at Sorbonne Université. Dr. Turmine has co-organized several international conferences and symposia, notably within the International Society of Electrochemistry, including recent meetings in Lyon (2023) and Mainz (2025).

Over the past five years, Dr. Turmine has participated in numerous nationally and industrially funded research projects focusing on ionic-liquid-based energy storage, electrocatalyst recycling, corrosion science, and microfluidic electrochemistry.
