After a double PhD degree in France and Spain with a thesis on manganite interfaces (ICMAB Barcelona, 2001) he became a CNRS Researcher in 2003. Bibes has pioneered research lines on multiferroics, ferroelectric tunnel junctions and explored novel routes for the electrical control of magnetism, spin-charge interconversion and spin transport in oxide thin film heterostructures and nanostructures. Bibes is the laureate of three ERC grants and a Highly Cited Researcher. He has received several awards including the Descartes-Huygens Prize in 2017, the EuroPhysics Prize in 2022 and the CNRS Silver Medal in 2025. In October 2024, he co-founded the start-up NELLOW that aims to develop and commercialize ultralow computing chips for AI and logic.
