Éric Cloutet

After receiving a Ph.D. in Polymer chemistry at the University of Bordeaux 1 (in 1996) on star polymers via cationic polymerization, and completing a post-doctoral fellowship at University of Akron (OH, USA) developing star polymers via anionic polymerization , Eric CLOUTET became a CNRS researcher in 1997. He was recruited at the University of Paris 13 in the laboratory of research on macromolecules to design original carbazole-based electro-luminescent polymer materials (1997-2000). He was transferred in 2001 in the LCPO at the University of Bordeaux 1 in order to create a group led by the Professor H. CRAMAIL starting a new topic on bio-sourced polymers and green chemistry methodologies. He became a CNRS Senior Researcher in 2012. He is currently leading and working in the new team 4 created early in 2010s by the Professor Georges HADZIIOANNOU on the design and formulation of advanced functional polymers for applications in energy, optoelectronics, batteries, photovoltaics, (flexible) displays, etc.
