M Dan Louvel

Bio

Dan Louvel graduated from the Ecole européenne d’ingénieurs de Chimie, Polymères et Matériaux at the University of Strasbourg, France in 2019. He spent one year in 2018-2019 at the Université du Québec à Montréal, Canada as part of an exchange program. During that period, he joined the group of Pr. Sylvain Canesi to develop new synthetic methodology using hypervalent iodine. He went back to France for his M.Sc. internship at the University of Lyon in the “Institut de Chimie et Biochimie Moléculaires & Supramoléculaires” (ICBMS) under the guidance of Dr. Nicolas Duguet, working on the chemistry of b-hydroxy hydroperoxides.

Research interests

Dan is now doing his Ph.D. studies in the same institute working with Dr. Anis Tlili and Dr. Estelle Métay on the development of photoredox catalysis/small molecules activations, with particular focus on fluorine chemistry.
