ERC Consolidator grant

The project GENESIS has been granted by the ERC. This is a great honour to receive this grant. In this project, I will gather current synthesis skills and buid new ones in order to explore new nanomaterials and new inorganic solids for energy conversion and catalysis, by focusing on boron, silicon and phosphorus compounds. See the press release, CNRS release and list of recipients.

Stay tuned, positions opening in the next weeks! Informal inquiries are welcome.
