Biography

Murielle Chavarot-Kerlidou received her Ph.D. degree in 1998 from the University Joseph Fourier (Grenoble).
After a post-doctoral period in the group of Dr. Zoe Pikramenou (University of Birmingham, UK) studying photo-induced supramolecular processes based on luminescent metallocyclodextrins, she spent two years in the group of Marc Fontecave to develop chiral-at-metal ruthenium catalysts for enantioselective oxidation.
She obtained in 2002 a CNRS position at the Université Pierre et Marie Curie (Paris), where her research interests dealt with the development of new applications of the arene-tricarbonyl metal complexes.
In 2009, she moved to the Laboratory of Chemistry and Biology of Metals (University Joseph Fourier, CNRS, CEA, Grenoble) to work on hydrogen photoproduction.
