  DR. CYRIL BROCHON

  Status: Associate Professor
  Employer: University of Bordeaux
  Topics: Design of Functional Polymers; Synthesis of block copolymers; Synthesis of π-conjugated polymers; Electrophoretic inks

  Education and Experience

  Cyril Brochon received his PhD in Polymer chemistry at the University of Bordeaux in 1999, where he studied synthesis and anionic polymerization of novel silicon-based heterocyles. Then he learnt controlled radial polymerization at the Charles Sadron Institute (ICS, Strasbourg). In 2001 he joined the team of Pr G. Hadziioannou in ECPM (Strasbourg) as assistant professor, where he studied the design of functional polymers, including semi-conducting polymers and block copolymers. In 2009, he joined the LCPO in Bordeaux as associate professor and he is currently working in the group of Pr Hadziioannou on the design of advanced functional polymers for applications in energy, optoelectronics, photovoltaic, (flexible) displays, etc.

  Awards and Responsibilities

  Cyril Brochon is the coordinator of several research programs. He is coordinator of the “Chemistry cluster” of the “ElorPrintTec” EquipEx and he is a member of the National University Council (CNU, section 33).
  He obtained the "Prix La Recherche” (field : Chemistry) in October 2013.

  Scientific Production

  Cyril Brochon is author of 92 publications and 19 patents (H index = 28).

  DR. ERIC CLOUTET

  Status: Senior Researcher
  Employer: CNRS
  Topics: Design of π-conjugated (co)polymers; Dispersion polymerizations; Conductive inks, Functional Polymers for photovoltaics, optoelectronics, batteries, energy, displays, etc.

  Education and Experience

  After receiving a Ph.D. in Polymer chemistry (under the guidance of Dr Yves GNANOU and Pr Didier ASTRUC) at the University of Bordeaux 1 (in 1996), and completing a one-year post-doctoral fellowship at University of Akron (OHIO, USA) with Professor R. P. QUIRK, Eric CLOUTET became a CNRS (the french national center for scientific research) researcher in 1997. He was recruited at the University of Paris 13 in the laboratory of research on macromolecules to work with Dr A. SIOVE on the design and synthesis of new carbazole-based electro-luminescent polymer materials (1997-2000). He was transferred in 2001 in the laboratory of organic polymer chemistry at the University of Bordeaux 1 in the group of Professor H. CRAMAIL. He became a CNRS Senior Researcher in 2012. He is currently working in the group of Professor Georges HADZIIOANNOU on the design and formulation of advanced functional polymers for applications in energy, optoelectronics, batteries, photovoltaics, (flexible) displays, etc.

  Awards and Responsibilities

  Dr Eric CLOUTET is the coordinator of several research programs. He was awarded Samsung-IUPAC Young Polymer Scientist in 2008 and "Prix La Recherche" (field: Chemistry) in 2013.

  Scientific production

  Dr Eric CLOUTET authored about 100 publications, 17 patents and more than 80 oral communications
