ORCID

Valentin joined the group the 1st of March 2024 as a postdoctoral researcher. His interests include the development of organo- and metallo-catalyzed methodologies, photochemistry, mechanistic elucidation, and multi-step synthesis of molecules and the exploration of their reactivity in solution and on surface thanks to particle probe microscopy.

Valentin aims at being a research associate in the Nanoscience Team and develop a new ligand suitable for both the synthesis of new catalysts for organometallic methodologies and the design of a new family of molecular motors to be studied on surface.
