Jean-Francois Boily is a Professor specializing in Molecular Geochemistry, focusing on experimental and theoretical studies of Earth's crust, atmosphere, and outer space. His research is primarily concerned with geochemical reactions at mineral surfaces, elucidating the interactions between various scales, from molecules to single mineral particles and crystals. He takes an interdisciplinary approach, combining experimental techniques with theoretical modeling to address complex scientific queries. His interests include topics like thin water ice films, ice nucleation and growth, and interfacial electrochemistry. Boily's work emphasizes the role of geochemical processes in environmental contexts, such as acid drainage mitigation and the geochemistry of iron in freezing water, contributing significantly to the understanding of processes that sustain life on Earth and the origins of life itself.
