Imaging and Manipulating Molecular Orbitals

Dr Christian Joachim is First Class Director of Research at the Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique (CNRS), Nanoscience group (GNS) at CEMES/CNRS Toulouse and Adjunct Professor of Nanosciences and Quantum resources at ISAE. He coordinated the EU-sponsored projects: BUN ('Bottom-up Nanomachines') and Pico-Inside and directed 2 NATO Advanced Research Workshops on Nanoscale Sciences in the early 1990s. He is currently in charge of the French Midi-Pyrenees research effort in Nanoscience (CPER Campus G. Dupouy) and of the new European Integrated Project AtMol. He is also A STAR VIP attached to IMRE to develop atomic scale technology in Singapore and WPI in charge of the Toulouse MANA satellite (MEXT Japan).
