معرفی
Stéphane Rigaut is a Professor at University of Rennes 1, France, specializing in Carbon-Rich Systems and Molecular Electronics. He is part of the OMC team (Responsive Organometallic and Boron Scafolds - ROBOS) at the Institut des Sciences Chimiques de Rennes (ISCR), collaborating with Dr. Lucie Norel and Dr. Olivier Galangau.
Dr. Rigaut earned his Ph.D. in 1997 from Université Bordeaux 1 under Prof. Didier Astruc and Dr. Marie-Hélène Delville, focusing on Redox Catalysis with mono and polymetallic electron reservoir metal complexes. Following a post-doctoral position in Minneapolis with Prof. Larry L. Miller researching Vapoconductivity in Dendrimers and swollen commodity polymers, he joined Université de Rennes 1 in 1998 as an Assistant Professor in Prof. Daniel Touchard's group. He was promoted to full Professor in 2008.
His research focuses on developing novel conducting and switching molecular materials with magnetic and luminescent properties using redox active ruthenium complexes and photochromic units. Current projects involve building organometallic molecular wires and switches for molecular electronics applications, representing an evolution from his earlier work on electron transfer processes in carbon-rich polymetallic complexes.
Dr. Rigaut maintains an active research program with publications referenced in HAL since 2006 and is based at the Beaulieu campus (office 929, Building 10C). His laboratory is part of the OMC team at ISCR, accessible at https://iscr.univ-rennes1.fr/omc-team-responsive-organometallic-and-boron-scafolds-robos.
