Biography
I was born in France and attended the University of Bordeaux before moving to UT Austin where I became a PhD student with Alan Cowley. Upon completion of my Ph.D. in 1994, I joined the group of Hubert Schmidbaur at the Technical University of Munich, first as a postdoctoral fellow and later as an Habilitand. Upon completion of my Habilitation in 1998, I moved to Texas A&M University where I now hold the Arthur E. Martell Chair of ÀË»¨Ö±²¥.
My research interests revolve around the chemistry of p-block elements and late transition metals with applications in anion recognition, anion transport, and catalysis. I am a Fellow of the American Chemical Society, a Fellow of the ÀË»¨Ö±²¥ and the recipient of the 2009 North American Dalton Lectureship. In 2016, I also received the ACS F.
