BIOGRAPHY 

Thomas Poisson received my PhD at Rouen University in 2008 under the mentorship of Dr. Vincent Levacher, working on new catalytic enantioselective protonation reactions. Afterwards, he joined the group of Prof. Shū Kobayashi as a JSPS fellow, working on asymmetric catalysis using alkaline earth metal complexes. Then, he joined the group of Prof. Magnus Rueping working on new photocatalyzed reactions. In 2011, he was appointed as “Maître de Conférences” at INSA Rouen Normandy and defended his habilitation in 12/2015. The same year, he was elected Distinguished Junior Fellow of the French Chemical Society. In 2016, he received the “prix jeune enseignant-chercheur” from the Organic Chemistry Division of the SCF. In 2017, he was recipient of the Thieme Chemistry Journal award, the JSP Fellowship of the 52nd Bürgenstock Conference and was nominated as a Junior Member of the “Institut Universitaire de France”. Since 2018, he is Professor of Chemistry at INSA Rouen Normandy.
