 Dr. Iwona NIERENGARTEN

LIMA – CNRS, Université de Strasbourg

Iwona Nierengarten studied chemistry at the University of Wroclaw (Poland) and received her doctoral degree in coordination chemistry under the supervision of K. Bukietynska (2005). She worked as a post-doctoral fellow with A.-M. Albrecht-Gary in Strasbourg where she gained experience in physical organic chemistry for the characterization of supramolecular assemblies. She joined the group of Chimie des Matériaux Moléculaires as a post-doctoral fellow in 2011 and obtained a permanent CNRS position in 2019. She received her HDR habilitation degree in 2024. Her research focuses mainly on the chemistry of pillar[n]arenes for applications in materials science and biology. Other research interests include the chemistry of copper complexes and the development of molecular machines.

Dr. Henri-Pierre JACQUOT de ROUVILLE

Institut de Chimie – CNRS, Université de Strasbourg

Henri-Pierre Jacquot de Rouville graduated from the University Paul Sabatier of Toulouse. In 2007, he joined C. Joachim’s Group and obtained a PhD degree for his synthesis of technomimetic molecules for nanomechanical applications under the supervision of Professor G. Rapenne (CEMES-CNRS, Toulouse). From 2010 to 2012, he joined Professor J. F. Stoddart’s Group as a postdoctoral fellow where he investigated the chemistry of mechanically interlocked molecules. Then, he moved back to France where he worked as a postdoctoral fellow with N. McClenaghan (ISM, Bordeaux). In 2013, he was appointed as Chargé de Recherche (Full Time Researcher at the CNRS) at the laboratory ITODYS, Paris. In November 2017, he moved at the Institut de Chimie of Strasbourg where he joined the LSAMM research group.

 Prof. Giulio RAGAZZON

ISIS – CNRS, Université de Strasbourg

Giulio Ragazzon obtained his PhD at the University of Bologna, working on light- and redox-driven molecular machines. He then moved to the University of Padova, to work on nonequilibrium self-assembly. After serving as an assistant professor in the Carbon Nanotechnology group at the University of Trieste, in 2021 he started his independent career at the Institute of Supramolecular Science and Engineering (ISIS) in Strasbourg, where leads the Laboratory of Driven Chemical Processes. His group investigates strategies that enable endergonic processes in fully artificial systems.

 Dr. Aline NONAT

IPHC – CNRS, Université de Strasbourg

Aline Nonat is researcher at CNRS, IPHC/Strasbourg. She is currently in charge of the SynPA research team. She earned her degree from ENSC Montpellier and a Ph.D. from CEA/Université Grenoble Alpes under Prof. M. Mazzanti's supervision in France. In 2007, she pursued a postdoctoral position at Trinity College Dublin, Ireland, with Prof. T. Gunnlaugsson. Returning to France in 2009, she took an ATER position at Burgundy University before joining IPHC in 2010 with Dr. L. Charbonnière. Honored with the CNRS Bronze Medal in 2019, her research delves into applying coordination chemistry involving d-block metals and f-elements for energy conversion, as well as biomedical applications.
