• Biography

  Emmanuel Nicolas obtained his diploma and master from École Polytechnique in 2010. In then did his PhD at École Polytechnique under the supervision of Dr. Nicolas Mézailles and Dr. Greg Nocton, on the synthesis and use of reduced metal complexes for C–H bond and small molecules activation. After graduating in 2013, he moved for a post-doctoral period in the group of Ass. Pr. Chris Slootweg to work on Frustrated Lewis Pairs that can be used as replacements for transition metals. He arrived in the group in September 2015 as a post-doctoral researcher to work on Ruthenium-mediated formic acid disproportionation with innovative participative ligands, and was recruited as a permanent researcher in December 2017. His current research interests are focused on the reduction and conversion of CO2 for energetic molecules such as formic acid, methanol, or closely related syngas.
