I received my PhD from the University of Grenoble in 1998 under the supervision of Professor Marc Fontecave and Doctor Stephane Menage. Following a postdoctoral position at the University of Minnesota, with Professor William Tolman, I joined the High Magnetic Field Laboratory at Grenoble in 2000 and the Department of Molecular Chemistry at Grenoble in 2007, where I am now CNRS senior researcher. My current research interests are on (i) bio-inspired complexes containing metal-sulfur bond(s) to develop catalysts for the activation of small molecules via multi-redox processes and (ii) the elucidation of the magnetic properties of transition metal ion complexes based on a combined experimental and theoretical approach.
