Rate My Professor Vincent Carre

Vincent Carré is a Full Professor of Analytical Chemistry at Université de Lorraine, affiliated with the LCP-A2MC laboratory on the Metz campus. He holds the position of Deputy Director of LCP-A2MC and Director of the Chemistry Department at the UFR Sciences Fondamentales et Appliquées (SciFA). Carré obtained his PhD in Chemistry-Physics from Université de Metz in 2004, with a thesis titled "Caractérisation par désorption / ionisation laser couplée à la spectrométrie de masse de particules émises par des véhicules diesel : mise en place d'une méthode impliquant la formation de complexes à transfert de charge," supervised by Jean-François Muller. In 2020, he earned his Habilitation à Diriger des Recherches (HDR) from Université de Lorraine on "Apport de la spectrométrie de masse de très haute résolution à l’étude de mélanges complexes pour l’énergie, l’environnement et le vivant." His career at Université de Lorraine includes serving as Maître de Conférences from 2012 to 2019 before promotion to Full Professor.

Carré's research specializes in high-resolution mass spectrometry, particularly Fourier Transform Ion Cyclotron Resonance Mass Spectrometry (FT-ICR MS), applied to complex mixtures in energy, environment, and life sciences. His work covers bio-oils from biomass pyrolysis and hydrothermal liquefaction, environmental analysis of pollutants and cigarette smoke aerosols, and metabolomics including phytoalexins in plants and metabolites in microbes via mass spectrometry imaging. He contributes to the Sustainable Chemistry and Environment team and the MassLor platform. With over 78 publications documented in HAL and more than 1,600 citations on ResearchGate, notable works include "Comprehensive Insights into Organic Matter from Astrophysical Ice Analogues by Multimodal Ionisation High-Resolution Mass Spectrometry" (2026, Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society), "Low-smoke fuels for residential heating linked to an increase in ultrafine particle emissions" (2026, Nature Geoscience), "Mass Spectrometry Imaging to map metabolites in plant-microbe interactions: grapevine as a case study" (2024, OENO One), "Membrane-based preparation for mass spectrometry imaging of cultures of bacteria" (2024, Analytical and Bioanalytical Chemistry), and "Fast, Easy, and Reproducible Fingerprint Methods for Endotoxin Characterization in Nanocellulose and Alginate-Based Hydrogel Scaffolds" (2024, Biomacromolecules). His contributions advance analytical methods for sustainable chemistry and environmental monitoring.
