Position
Researcher
After a PhD in organic synthesis at the University Paris 6 (France), SG worked on the preparation of organic and inorganic macrocycles during a post-doctoral stay at UBC (Canada) during two year. In 2011, he came to the UA, first as a postdoctoral fellow and now as a researcher, starting a new line of research focusing on the synthesis and characterization of all-organic luminescent dyes, especially their emission properties upon aggregation or crystallization. These new dyes can find applications in both biological imaging and luminescent materials. SG is currently supervising 4 PhD students, working on the synthesis, experimental and theoretical characterizations, and applications, of all-organic luminescent dyes.
