Merle's research explores catalytic systems for olefin metathesis, dehydrogenation reactions, and green chemistry applications. His work combines experimental approaches with advanced characterization techniques like solid-state NMR to study surface-metal interactions and catalyst stability.

His recent publications highlight trends in silica-supported catalysts, transition metal-free systems, and polymer degradation mechanisms. Notable collaborations include teams at UCCS (UMR CNRS 8181) and institutions like Université de Lille.
