Fabrice received his PhD in 1995 at the University of Limoges in the field of Ceramic Processes and Surface Treatments. He was a post-doc fellow in the Agency of Industrial Science and Technology in Japan from 1996 to 1998. Then he joined industry as a technical manager for the Bosch Company from 1999 to 2001.  In 2002 he returned to the academic field at the French National Research Council (CNRS) working in the Institute of Research for Ceramics (IRCER-200 members) in Limoges, France. From 2007 to 2017, he was the Team Leader of the Ceramic Processes Team at IRCER. He is now Deputy Director of IRCER.
He conducts integrated research ranging from powder synthesis to the fabrication of prototype objects with improved or new properties using various shaping and consolidation techniques. He aims to control preparation steps to obtain micro(nano)structures and macroscopic architectures adapted to specific functionalities of technical ceramics. Prof. Rossignol’s personal research interests are more in the shaping of nanostructured ceramics (top-down and bottom-up approaches) and in the development of additive manufacturing technologies (ink jet printing). One key application field of his research is energy, for example, supported catalysts for H2 production.
