Dr Sylvain Gaillard received his Ph.D. from the Université Paul Cézanne/Aix-Marseille III under the supervision of Dr A. Tenaglia. After a first postdoctoral position under the supervision of Pr J.-L. Renaud, Pr C. M. Thomas and Dr C. Fischmeister at the ENSCR in Rennes, he pursued with a second post-doctoral position under the supervision of Pr S. P. Nolan at the University of St Andrews. In 2010, he obtained an associate professor position with Pr J.-L. Renaud at the Université de Caen. His research interests include organometallic chemistry and homogeneous catalysis. In 2013, he obtained his Habilitation à Diriger des Recherche (HDR).
