Bio

After the graduation in 2005 of a Magistère (combined MSc) in Chemistry and Biology at the Louis Pasteur University  (Strasbourg), Morgan Donnard moved to the Ecole Nationale Supérieure de Chimie in Mulhouse (ENSCMu) where he obtained his PhD in organic chemistry in 2008 under the supervision of Pr. Jacques Eustache. His work was mainly focused on olefin metathesis and rearrangement reactions. He then joined the group of Pr. Jonathan Clayden in Manchester as Post-Doctoral Research Associate where he stayed 2 years working on organolithium chemistry applied to asymmetric rearrangement transformations. At the beginning of 2011 he came back to France for a second post-doctoral stay in the team of Dr. Nicolas Blanchard (ENSCMu) where he worked on ynamide cycloaddition reactions. In 2012 he was offered a CNRS Research Associate (Ass. Prof.) position at the university of Strasbourg. First located at the faculty of pharmacy (SOMHet Team) he moved to the Ecole Européenne de Chimie, Polymères et Matériaux (ECPM) in spring 2018 (COHA Team). In fall 2019, he obtained his “Habilitation à Diriger des Recherches (HDR)” and in 2021 his professor qualification.
