JEROME FORTAGE

Molecular chemistry and electrochemistry, Photochemistry, Photocatalysis, Photophysics

I obtained my PhD in organic chemistry in 2006, under the supervision of Dr. Fabrice Odobel at the University of Nantes, on the development of molecular photosensitizers for the design of artificial photosystems and new photovoltaïc devices. I then completed two post-doctoral fellowships in molecular photochemistry at the University of Newcastle (UK, 2007) in the group of Pr. Andrew Benniston and Pr. Anthony Harriman, and at the University Paris Descartes (France, 2008-2010) under the supervision of Dr. Philippe Lainé and Dr. Valérie Marvaud. In october 2010, I was recruited as a CNRS researcher (Chargé de Recherche) in the Department of Molecular Chemistry (DCM) at the University Grenoble Alpes. As member of the EMPRe group, I am currently working on the development of molecular or hybrid (molecular/inorganic) systems for the electro- or photo-catalytic dissociation of water into O₂ and H₂ and for the reduction of CO₂ into products that can be valorised by industry (i.e. CO, HCOOH).
