Dr Pierre-Adrien PAYARD

completed his undergraduate studies in Chemistry at Ecole Normale Supérieure Paris-Saclay and passed the Agrégation de Chimie in 2016. He carried out his PhD at Ecole Normale Supérieure under the joint supervision of Dr Laurence Grimaud and Dr Marc Pera-Titus focusing on mechanistic studies of metal-catalyzed reactions. In 2019, he joined the team of Prof Christophe Copéret at ETH Zürich as a postdoctoral researcher before starting his independent career as associate professor at the University of Lyon in 2020.

His research

is dedicated to the understanding and modeling of complex catalytic systems through a multidisciplinary approach: at the interphase between advanced physicochemical characterization and multi-scale computer modeling. He is engaged in numerous collaborations at the national and international level, with academic and industrial partners, with the objective to comprehend and overcome catalytic limitations encountered by synthetic chemists.

He is particularly interested in polymetallic mechanisms (clusters of metals in solutions, supported nanoparticles, etc.), mechanisms of transmetalation reactions, descriptor developments for the optimization assisted by artificial intelligence of reactions and the calculation of spectroscopic properties for the characterization of non-isolable species.
