Cassandre Quinton

Cassandre Quinton is a CNRS Researcher at the University of Rennes 1, affiliated with the MaCSE team at the Institut des Sciences Chimiques de Rennes (ISCR). Her work focuses on molecular nanorings, organic semiconductors, and photochemistry. She holds a B.Sc. (2008) and M.Sc. (2010) in chemistry from École Normale Supérieure de Cachan and Université Pierre et Marie Curie, respectively, and a PhD (2013) from École Normale Supérieure de Cachan on photoactive derivatives.

Research interests include designing molecular nanorings for organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs) and studying their electronic properties. Her postdoctoral work (2013–2015, Nara Institute of Science and Technology) involved photochemical layer-by-layer processes for organic thin films. At ISCR, she contributed to projects like ANR Men In Blue (spiro compounds) and Marie Skłodowska-Curie-funded studies on bridged oligophenylenes.

Awards include the Japan Society for the Promotion of Science Fellowship and a Marie Skłodowska-Curie Fellowship. She currently leads research at the MaCSE team, emphasizing novel molecular architectures for electronics.
