Early life and education edit
Saboungi was born January 1, 1948, in Lebanon. She studied Mathematics and Physics at the Lebanese University in Beirut and obtained a Doctorat d’Etat in Physics at Aix-Marseille University, France in 1973, studying the statistical thermodynamics of molten salts.[1]
Career edit
After her doctorate, Saboungi joined Argonne National Laboratory and worked there as Senior Scientist until 2002. Following this she was a director at the Centre de Recherche sur la Matière Divisée, CNRS until 2011.[2] From 2007 to 2011 she was also Program Officer at Agence Nationale de la Recherche.[1]
In 2011 she joined IMPMC at Sorbonne University, where she currently works.[1]
She has also been a Distinguished Professor of Physics at University of Orléans in 2002–2011, and was appointed Distinguished Visiting Professor in Soochow University in 2014.[3]
Research edit
Saboungi's work focuses on complex soft materials, including ionic liquids and aqueous electrolytes, with a view to applications in energy and biotechnology. She also studies silver chalcogenides, which display many fascinating phenomena including fast-ion conduction at higher temperatures, linear magnetoresistance over a broad range of magnetic fields, and topological insulator behavior.
