Jean-Michel Gillet

Professor. Researcher at Structure, Properties and Modeling of Solids lab. My current research intesrests are mostly in the development of quantum models and methods for refining the electron behaviour in molecules and solids through the one-particle reduced density matrix description (1-RDM). It is thus at the junction between ab-initio computations of electrons in molecules or crystalline solids and the design of simple electron 1-RDM or wavefunction parametrized models which can be refined from a variety of experimental data. To this day, experiments of primary interest for this purpose are X-ray high-resolution diffraction, polarized neutron diffraction, Compton scattering (magnetic and total), convergent beam electron diffraction. Other types of experiment are possible as long as they provide accurate information on electron behaviour.
