Meteorites, Aqueous alteration, Organics
Corentin is interested in chondrites, the most pristine meteorites available for studying the early days(years) of the solar system. In particular, he has investigated the matrices, where organics and phyllosilicates are present, which are evidence for the aqueous alteration that occurred on the asteroidal parent bodies. He specialises in nanoscale analytical techniques, such as transmission electron microscopy and synchrotron-based scanning transmission X-ray microscopy.
Following his phd on nanodiamonds in chondrites, he undertook 2 postdocs, one in Albuquerque (USA) on amorphous silicates and another one in Bochum (Germany) where he conducted experimental research on silicate alteration in asteroidal conditions. He has been a CNRS researcher since 2015 at the university of Lille, where he continues to develop advanced electron microscopy techniques to reveal the nano-treasure hidden inside meteorites.
