Biography

Louis Fensterbank was born in Poitiers in 1967 and raised in Tours. He graduated from Ecole Sup茅rieure de Chimie Industrielle de Lyon in 1990 and obtained his Ph.D. on silicon-tethered reactions in 1993 at SUNY Stony Brook under the supervision of Scott Sieburth. After a temporary lecturer position at UPMC in 1994, he was appointed in 1995 Charg茅 de Recherche CNRS in Max Malacria鈥檚 team.

In 2004, he obtained a professor position at UPMC, and now in Sorbonne Universit茅, in 2008, he was nominated junior member at the Institut Universitaire de France. His research interests concern the discovery of new molecular transformations relying on radical or organometallic processes and their applications to the synthesis of substrates with relevant properties (e.g., natural products, probes, ligands). 

In 2009, he was a Visiting Scientist at the Australian National University, Canberra and in 2017, he was Invited Professor at Osaka Prefecture University. Recently, he was elected Fellow of the 浪花直播 (2016) and he received the Prix de la Division de Chimie Organique of the French Chemical Society (2016) and the Silver Medal from CNRS (2017).
