Thibaud Coradin

Thibaud Coradin, born in 1970, received his PhD in 1997 in the field of Intercalation Chemistry from the Université Paris XI under the supervision of Pr R. Clément. He was then a post-doctoral fellow at the Royal Institution of Great Britain in London, in the group of Pr Peter Day, working on molecular magnets. He was then a temporary lecturer in the Ecole Nationale Supérieure de Chimie de Paris, studying organometallics and spin-trapping systems via EPR and ENDOR spectroscopy in the group of Pr D. Gourier. In 1999, he was appointed as a CNRS Research Fellow in the Laboratoire de Chimie de la Matière Condensée de Paris (LCMCP), working with Pr Jacques Livage on silica biomineralization and sol-gel bioencapsulation. After obtaining his Habilitation in 2005, he was appointed as a CNRS Research Director in 2007. He is currently leading the “Bio-controlled materials” group of the LCMCP and has extended his research interests to the development of “green” sol-gel chemistry, based on the use of biological systems, including biopolymers and whole cells, to design functional nanohybrids and nanocomposites. He co-authored over 70 publications and 10 book chapters.
