Mathieu Achard

Mathieu Achard is an Associate Professor at the Institut des Sciences Chimiques de Rennes (ISCR) in Rennes, France. He holds a PhD from Aix-Marseille University (2005) and a Habilitation à diriger les recherches (2013). His research focuses on developing eco-friendly transition metal complexes for hydrogen transfer processes and creating photoluminescent copper-based materials. He leads collaborations on sustainable methodologies, rotational dynamics in metal complexes, and eco-friendly synthesis of aza-heterocycles through international partnerships in France and India.
