François-Xavier Coudert

François-Xavier Coudert holds dual appointments as Research Director at CNRS and Adjunct Professor at École Normale Supérieure, Paris Sciences et Lettres University, operating at the nexus of theoretical chemistry and materials science.

His research program centers on molecular simulation methodologies applied to nanoporous materials, with particular focus on:

• Fluid adsorption thermodynamics in confined spaces
• Behavior of nanoconfined phases
• Metal-organic framework (MOF) characterization
• Multi-scale modeling from quantum to mesoscopic levels

He investigates how confinement alters fundamental physical and chemical processes through integrated computational frameworks.

Professor Coudert's work is organized under two research axes: Organometallic Chemistry and Polymerization Catalysis and Computational Chemistry, conducted through the COCP research team where he develops advanced simulation protocols for porous material analysis.
