Biography
After graduating from ESPCI (Ecole Supérieure de Physique et de Chimie Industrielles de la ville de Paris) with an engineering degree, David pursued his Ph.D. with Pr. Max Malacria at the Université Pierre et Marie Curie (UPMC-Paris 6) until December 2009, where he explored new cobalt-, rhodium-, and gold-catalyzed cyclizations. After two and half years of postdoctoral research at the University of Rochester with Pr. Alison J. Frontier working on copper-mediated Nazarov electrocyclizations and one year at the Institute of Chemical Research of Catalonia (ICIQ) with Pr. Antonio M. Echavarren developing new gold catalysts, he was appointed by the CNRS as Chargé de Recherche (Assistant Professor) in 2013 at the Institut de Chimie Moléculaire et des Matériaux d’Orsay (ICMMO). In 2017, he became Associate Professor, before deciding to join the Institut de Science et d’Ingénierie Supramoléculaires in November 2019 in the Laboratory of Chemical Catalysis (headed by Pr. Joseph Moran), cultivating the use of hexafluoroisopropanol in synthesis and developing new synthetic methods relying on supramolecular chemistry.
