Kevin Ogle
Professor Kevin Ogle obtained the Ph.D. degree in 1985 in Chemistry from the University of Texas, Austin working with the late Professor J.M. White in the field of surface science applied to heterogeneous catalysis. For the next three years, he investigated the reactivity of metal sulfides using XPS analysis combined with electrochemistry at Lawrence Berkeley Laboratory. After a short period as Assistant Professor at Rhodes College in Memphis, Tennessee, he relocated to France, to work in the R&D of the steel industry (originally Irsid, Institut de la Recherche de la Sidérurgie at Saint Germain-en-Laye, and today part of ArcelorMittal).
He was head of the “Physical Chemistry of Surfaces” group and Program Director for surface treatment and corrosion related projects. During this period, he taught "Corrosion and Surface Treatment" at the Université Henri Poincaré in Nancy, France in the Material Science graduate program and was Associate Research Director, CNRS, at the Centre d’Etudes de Chimie Métallurgique, in Paris. He has been a faculty member of the ENSCP (Ecole Nationale de Chimie de Paris) Chimie-ParisTech since 2005.
Research Interests: electrochemistry of Zn-Al-Mg alloys, surface treatment of Zn and Al alloys, dealloying mechanisms of copper alloys, passivation of stainless steel in concentrated nitric acid, dissolution and passivation of high entropy alloys, controlled dissolution of Mg for biological implants
