Dominique Thierry

Dominique Thierry was born in 1957 in France. He obtained his PhD in Metallurgy from the Pierre and Marie Curie University in Paris France in 1988. He is assistant professor (Docent) at the Royal Institute of Technology (Corrosion Science), Stockholm, Sweden since 1993. He has been working for as researcher at the Swedish Corrosion Institute in Stockholm, Sweden from 1985 to 1998 as leader of the fields “Corrosion in liquids” and corrosion protection by inorganic coatings”. He was research director of the Swedish Corrosion Institute in Stockholm from 1998 to 2004.  Dominique is also the founder of the French corrosion institute (2002) and was managing director of this institute with about 45 employees in different fields of corrosion and corrosion protection from 2005-2021.  He is actually employed at RISE in Sweden as scientific advisor and senior researcher.

His field of research is corrosion science, with emphasis on the understanding of atmospheric corrosion. His research interests include atmospheric corrosion, marine corrosion, corrosion protection and the applications of local electrochemical techniques such as Scanning Kelvin probe, Scanning Vibrating Electrode, and optical spectroscopical techniques (Raman and FTIR) and corrosion sensors. He is author or co-author of about 250 scientific papers in peer review journals and of several book chapters (H index: 53 in google scholar with more than 10 000 citations). He has given over 50 invited lectures at International Conferences. He serves on the editorial board of two journals in Corrosion: Materials (mdpi) and Materials and Corrosion. He is editor of Materials and Corrosion. He received the best paper award from the International Institute of Welding in 2016 and the European Corrosion medal award in 2021.

He was Chairman of the EFC Working Party on Microbial Corrosion (1994-2001), Chairman of several European networks on Microbial Corrosion, Swedish National secretary of the international electrochemical society. He has been coordinating about 20 European funded projects and participating in more than 10 others. He is actually chairman of NACE TEG 523X and Vice-President of CEFRACOR (French corrosion association).
