Arnaud has been active in Secondary Ion Mass Spectrometry for more than 25 years. His current research activities encompass the theoretical and experimental study of energetic cluster-solid interactions, with an emphasis on soft molecular emission and 2D/3D molecular characterization of surfaces. His team also explores gas cluster-induced soft and reactive landing as a new method of (bio)surface nanofabrication. Overall, Arnaud has published 6 book chapters, ~190 articles in peer-reviewed journals and has received ~60 personal invitations at international conferences. He is the Chair of the International Committee of the Biennial SIMS Conference, a member of the SIMS Europe Workshop Advisory Board and a member of the International Scientific Committees of the ECASIA and ISI conferences.
