It is that time of the year again to announce our 3 new openings for tenure-track assistant professor EPFL Chemistry: Chemical Engineering, Chemical Biology and Physical Chemistry! Looking forward to meeting all the candidates! epfl.ch/about/working/…

Two and a half years ago, I was extremely fortunate to start the LIAC at EPFL at EPFL, and I'm still having a blast! It is a highly recommended environment with outstanding colleagues and students! Now, not only one but three (!!!) tenure track positions are advertised

Faculty position for tenure-track assistant professor in now open in Chemical Engineering at EPFL Application deadline is 31st October. It is a great opportunity as EPFL provides one of the best support ecosystem for Assistant Professors. Check the link: epfl.ch/about/working/…

We have summarized the use of nitrous oxide (#laughinggas) as a diazo transfer reagent. The review, written together with Alex Genoux, was just published in Chemical Science : pubs.rsc.org/en/content/art…
