Now he is a PI of Research Leader Program and a Director of the National Core Materials Research Center supported by National Research Foundation of Korea, and is currently serving as an Associate Editor of Nano Energy and an Executive Board Member of Advanced Electronic Materials.
Philippe Basset
ESIEE Paris, France
Philippe Basset is professor at Université Gustave Eiffel / ESIEE Paris and deputy director of the CNRS ESYCOM lab. He completed his Ph.D from IEMN University of Lille in 2003 in the areas of microelectronic and micro-electro-mechanical-systems. In 2004 he was a post-doc at Carnegie Mellon University, Pittsburgh, USA. In 2005 he joined ESIEE Paris, a founding member of the new Univ Gustave Eiffel, France, where he developed the activities on mechanical energy harvesting. His current research interests include micro-power sources for autonomous sensors, conditioning systems for triboelectric nanogenerators and micro/nano-structuration of silicon.

Nature Communications
Title: Nature and Communication
Nature journals bring cutting-edge research to the scientific community and contribute to the scientific advance. In the academic world, we are often asked by the community what it is that we do and how we make decisions. This presentation aims to answer some of these questions. It provides an overview of the editorial criteria of Nature Research journals, strategies to effectively communicate your research, and our approach with each submitted paper.
