معرفی
Damien LAAGE is a Research Professor at CNRS and an Associate Professor at Ecole Normale Supérie, affiliated with the Department of Chemistry. He works on theoretical and computational approaches to chemical reactivity in aqueous environments, with a focus on water dynamics, hydrogen-bond networks, and enzyme catalysis.
- PhD in Theoretical Chemistry (2001), Sorbonne University Paris, supervised by JT Hynes
- MSc in Physics (1997), Ecole Normale Supérieure Paris
His research leverages machine learning and quantum simulations to model proton transport, hydration shells, and biochemical reactions. Recent work includes applications of neural network potentials and deep learning to interfacial and enzymatic systems.
He has received the ERC Starting Grant (2012), Young researcher award from the French chemical society (2012), and CNRS bronze medal (2010). His publications emphasize water reorientation, hydrogen-bond jumps, and enzyme dynamics.
