Yannick Guari

Yannick Guari is head of the Molecular Engineering and Nano-Objects team at the Institut Charles Gerhardt Montpellier, University of Montpellier, France, and conducts research on metal-containing nanoparticles and nanocomposites. He earned a PhD in chemistry at the University of Toulouse in 1998. His thesis work under the supervision of Bruno Chaudret was on ruthenium complexes and their uses for C–H bond activation. After a postdoctoral stay at the University of Amsterdam in the research group of Prof. Piet van Leeuwen, studying palladium and platinum complexes in homogeneous catalysis, Dr. Guari joined the CNRS, France, as a permanent researcher in Montpellier.
