He obtained his PhD from the University of Bordeaux (UB) in 1990 for studies in the field of ring-opening metathesis polymerization. After a post-doctoral stay at the University of Durham, U.K., he became an Assistant Professor of Polymer Chemistry at UB and, since 1999, he has been appointed Professor of Polymer Chemistry at the same University. In 2004, he was awarded the position of Junior Member of the ‘Institut Universitaire de France’. He was Director of the Laboratoire de Chimie des Polymères Organiques (LCPO), CNRS-University of Bordeaux, from 2007 to 2016. He is currently leading the team ‘Biopolymers and Bio-based Polymers’ within LCPO. His researches are focused on the development of green pathways to bio-based polymers from renewable resources (vegetable oils, polysaccharides, terpenes, lignin, CO2).
