Aurrera Center of Dissipative Interactions (ACDI) | United States

Prof. Dr. Jean Pierre Ibar is a distinguished materials scientist specializing in polymer physics and processing. He began his academic journey at École Nationale Supérieure de Chimie de Paris under the mentorship of Georges Champetier of the French Academy of Sciences, and later completed his PhD in Materials Science at Massachusetts Institute of Technology in 1975. He subsequently founded and led multiple R&D startups in the United States, contributing significantly to innovations in sensor technology, thermal analysis, rheology, and advanced polymer processing methods such as Rheomolding and Rheo-Fluidification, resulting in numerous international patents. Transitioning back to academia, he earned his habilitation in 2007 from University of Pau and the Adour Region and later held a professorship at University of the Basque Country. In recognition of his pioneering work on entanglement instability in polymers, he received the IAAM Best Scientist Award. In 2025, he founded the Aurrera Center of Dissipative Interactions, where he advances research on dual-phase polymer interactions and promotes new theoretical frameworks such as Grain Field Statistics for understanding polymer physics.
