问：您什么时候第一次发现自己的职业道路集中在纳米技术上？
Baillargeat: In 2009 when I moved from my University in Limoges (France) to Nanyang University in Singapore. I used nanoelements for the first time to make RF interconnections. Doing RF nanotechnology is very exciting.
问：您目前正在研究哪些纳米技术应用？
Baillargeat: My research activities are currently focused on the use of carbon nanotube for new 3D nanopackaging solutions taking into account the constraints of fabrication, integration, high frequency connectivity, thermal management … That work requires large skills and development of technological processes for the fabrication and integration of carbon nanotubes and also of new CNT models that can be implemented in RF circuit design software.
问：从事纳米技术工作最有意义的事情是什么？
Baillargeat: Working with nanotechnology requires a cross-disciplinary approach, bringing together skills in manufacturing with new materials and processes aspects, in characterization and modeling to understand the physics that govern the behavior of these nanomaterials, in integration and design to develop new objects to satisfy future societal challenges. This cross-disciplinary approach is exciting because it brings together different scientific communities who learn from each other and move forward together. It is in this spirit that I conduct my research activities.
问：您预计未来纳米技术的商业化将在哪些领域对世界产生最积极的影响？
Baillargeat: Nanotechnologies have multiple impacts in a wide variety of fields such as new materials, nanoelectronics or nanomedicine, to name just a few examples. In the future and in the context of Smart Cities, we can think that nanotechnologies will be essential to develop new ultra-sensitive sensors to ensure the safety and better living of people.
问：您认为迄今为止纳米技术对世界产生的最大影响是什么？
Baillargeat: Nanotechnology makes it possible to go beyond what conventional technologies can and thus reach new paradigms. For instance, the increase in computing and storage capacities of computers is mainly due to the evolution of nanotechnologies which led to the revolution of artificial intelligence.
问：过去十年，纳米技术走出了实验室，对社会产生了真正的影响。您是否参与过任何有助于纳米技术商业化并产生新产品或新工艺的努力？
Baillargeat: I am focused on the use of nanotechnologies to contribute to the nanopackaging of electronic components, in particular for space applications. We are working with an industrial group on this topic and currently we are still in the development phase. If successful, we aim to reduce the size of the components while increasing their integration and performances and consequently the ones of future satellites.
问：大学里的培训对你的纳米技术工作有帮助吗？
Baillargeat: Yes, by giving me the basics of the physics necessary for understanding the phenomena that govern the behavior of nanoelements or nanocomponents.
问：你有导师吗？大学期间有吗？
Baillargeat: I believe that more than a mentor we need colleagues, people who inspire you with their work and their personality. I am very attached to human relationships, whether professional or personal. And I enjoy sharing a passion by collaborating on scientific developments.
问：如果必须重新来过，您还会专注于纳米技术应用吗？
Baillargeat: Yes absolutely, nanotechnology is a fascinating universe that requires a multidisciplinary approach and allows many collaborations to develop new applications and thus contribute to the evolution of our society.
问：如果高中生或大学生对纳米技术感兴趣，您会给他们什么建议以帮助他们做好担任这些角色的准备？
Baillargeat: Explore physics and chemistry…and above all be passionate and curious.
