Caroline Hadad

Dr. Caroline Hadad is a Lecturer at Université de Picardie Jules Verne, affiliated with the Glycochemistry and Agroresources Laboratory of Amiens UR 7378 LG2A. Her research focuses on sustainable chemistry approaches for materials development, with particular expertise in biopolymers, nanomaterials, and green chemistry processes that bridge fundamental science with practical applications in agriculture, biomedicine, and environmental remediation.

Dr. Hadad's research interests span three main areas:

• π-conjugated molecules: Developing symmetrical and asymmetrical organic compounds for optoelectronic applications through Sonogashira-type coupling reactions with pyrimidine or pyridazine units
• Surface functionalization of carbon nanostructures: Modifying fullerenes, carbon nanotubes, and graphene to improve solubility and enable applications in nanomedicine and biotechnology
• Valorization of agroresources: Creating value from biomass through glycodendrimer synthesis, cellulose nanocrystals, and sustainable extraction processes for chitin and lignin

Her recent publication record demonstrates a strong focus on sustainable solutions using ionic liquids and deep eutectic solvents as green processing media. Dr. Hadad has developed innovative approaches including the CoffeeCat process for lignin extraction, novel chitin deacetylation methods, and eco-friendly coatings for agricultural applications that reduce food waste. Her work consistently bridges fundamental chemical research with practical sustainability outcomes.

Dr. Hadad has published extensively in high-impact journals including:

• International Journal of Biological Macromolecules
• RSC Sustainability
• Journal of Molecular Liquids
• Green Chemistry
• Carbohydrate Polymers
• Nano Research
• ACS Applied Materials & Interfaces

Her research program demonstrates successful grant funding through consistent publication output across multiple sustainability-focused areas. Dr. Hadad collaborates with researchers across chemistry, materials science, and environmental disciplines, suggesting a well-integrated research program with both academic and potential industrial connections. She supervises research in the Glycochemistry and Agroresources Laboratory, which focuses on developing sustainable chemical processes and materials from renewable resources with applications spanning agriculture, biomedicine, and advanced materials development.
