Présentation

I am an Associate Professor in Chemistry at the University of Poitiers (France), affiliated with the IC2MP Institute. My research focuses on heterogeneous catalysis for environmental and energy-related applications. A major part of my work addresses air depollution through the total oxidation of volatile organic compounds (VOCs), including formaldehyde, with particular emphasis on manganese-based materials and, more recently, high-entropy oxides.

In parallel, I develop research activities in the field of hydrogen storage and valorization, notably through catalytic systems for Liquid Organic Hydrogen Carriers (LOHC). This work involves the design and evaluation of catalysts for hydrogenation and dehydrogenation reactions, linking fundamental catalytic understanding with energy transition challenges. I am also involved in collaborative projects dedicated to selective hydrogenation processes, combining catalyst design, mechanistic investigation and performance optimization in partnership with national and international research teams.

Over the years, I have developed expertise in catalyst synthesis, physicochemical characterization (XRD, physisorption, thermal analysis, spectroscopic techniques), and kinetic evaluation using laboratory-scale reactors. My research integrates experimental approaches and collaborative theoretical modeling within structured national and international partnerships.

In parallel with my research activities, I am strongly involved in curriculum development and academic coordination. I contribute to and coordinate several Master’s programs, including the Erasmus Mundus Joint Master Degree in Sustainable Catalysis (SuCat), as well as interdisciplinary training programs in sustainable development and energy transitions. My teaching portfolio includes advanced courses in heterogeneous catalysis, materials characterization, scientific communication and sustainability-related topics. I am actively engaged in international cooperation through European university alliances and joint degree initiatives, promoting the integration of catalysis, sustainability and societal challenges in higher education.

My academic career reflects sustained engagement in research, teaching and institutional responsibilities, with a particular focus on connecting catalytic science to environmental and energy-related societal challenges.
