Olivier Politano is maitre de conférences HDR (Section CNU 31). He is specialized in atomic scale simulations to study the behavior of reactive materials. After a postdoc with Pr. E. Kaxiras at Harvard University on the role of hydrogen on aluminum by DFT, O. Politano joined the University of Bourgogne (uB) in 2000. He worked with variable charge molecular dynamics to study metallic systems interacting with their environment (corrosion and high temperature oxidation of metals, thin oxide films, …). During the last 12 years, in collaboration with Florence Baras, he performed large-scale molecular dynamic simulations of nanometric metallic multilayers. This theorical work was performed in close collaboration with experimental groups (Université de Notre-Dame, USA and ISMAN, Russia). He co-authored ~70 articles in peer-reviewed international scientific journals (H-index=24 google scholar – 20 web of science) and presented his work in ~75 conferences. O. Politano supervised 10 theses (2 ongoing) as well as 4 postdoctoral researchers. He was member of 10 conference organizing committees and is an active member of the international scientific committees for two conferences (DIMAT and NMJ).

O. Politano was the coordinator of a PHC Kolmogorov (Partenariat Huber Curien, 2018-2021) on reactive composite powders for 3d spark plasma and selective laser sintering and a PRC CNRS (Projet de recherche Commun, 2018-2022) on novel synthesis methods for ceramic-metal composites with the HEA binder with Russian research teams in ISMAN (Chernogolovka) and Misis (Moscow).

He was involved in several national projects : ANR  (RPED 2005-2008, TESAMI 2012-2016), ISITE-IHTT (2018-2021), PYLOT-Hy (2019-2022), LRC LIMPE (since 2011). At the present time, he hold an ANR project (2023-2027) entitled DEFROST (Next-gen multi-material devices: designing of nanostructured Cu-Mo composites).

During 5 years (2011-2016), he was the head of the computing center (i.e. Centre de Calcul) of the university of Bourgogne. The computing center host the linux cluster (~ 8000 cores) dedicated to research and the email servers of the university (40000 mailboxes). As scientific expert (2001-2011) and head of the computing center (2011-2016), he wrote and secured numerous funding applications (11 HCP-Region, 1 CPER, 3 Feder, and 12 BQR).
