Author Biography

Jean-Pierre Sauvage performed his studies at the Ecole Nationale Superieure de Chimie de Strasbourg where he obtained his PhD under the supervision of Prof. J.M. Lehn in 1971. After post-doctoral research with Prof. M.L.H. Green in Oxford, UK, he went back to Strasbourg as a CNRS researcher. He founded his research group in 1980, became University Professor in 1981 and also CNRS Director of Research in 1988. Professor Sauvage is a member of the French Academy of Science, Professor emeritus of the University of Strasbourg and currently a Distinguished Visiting Scholar at Northwestern University. His research interest spans from artificial photosynthesis and electron transfer to porphyrin chemistry, molecular topology, and transition metal-based molecular machines.
