2011 - 2012My post-doctoral project involved very different fields of chemistry such as polymer chemistry, biomolecules synthesis and ligation reactions. I developed a practical and scalable synthesis of enantiopure beta-amino acids and worked on a molecular machine behaving as an artificial ribosome.

2007 - 2010My PhD project involved the development of new transition metal catalyzed heteroannulation processes and their application in total synthesis. In this context, I recently developed an intermolecular domino aminopalladation/C-H activation sequence for the synthesis of Phenantridines and Isoquinolines. I applied another heteroannulation process developed in the laboratory for a total synthesis.
