Short Bio:

Kevin graduated from Chimie ParisTech in 2002, he received his PhD in 2006 from the University Pierre and Marie Curie (now Sorbonne University) in Paris (France) under the supervision of Prof. M. Malacria and L. Fensterbank, where he studied platinum- and gold-catalyzed transformations with a joint CNRS-Sanofi BDI fellowship.

From 2007 to 2009, including one-year as a Lavoisier fellowship holder, he
worked as a postdoctoral researcher in the group of Prof. A. J. Frontier at the University of Rochester (NY, USA) in the field of total synthesis.

He was appointed a Chargé de Recherche in 2009 at the CNRS at the ICSN in the team Synthesis and Methodology Applied to Research in Therapeutics (SMART) led by Dr R. H. Dodd. He obtained his Habilitation à Diriger les Recherches (HDR) in 2015. From 2017 to 2019, he was the leader of the SMART team before moving to Chimie ParisTech in 2020. His research interest lie in the development of new synthetic methods, with a focus on iodine(III) reagents and nitrogen-rich building blocks, and their application toward the synthesis of biologically active molecules, in particular antibacterials.

In January 2020 he officially joined the group of Gilles Gasser and in 2021 he was appointed CNRS Research Director.

Kevin listens to a lot of music (often with loud guitars) and enjoy spending some time in the outside, preferentially near the ocean (if possible within the waves), two passions he tries to share with his two kids.
