Dr. André Beauchamp

Biography

André Beauchamp has distinguished himself both as a professor and researcher, and through his relentless efforts to promote the University of Montreal. He began teaching at the Department of Chemistry at UdeM in 1968 and was tenured in 1977. As a professor, his contributions have been exceptional: he stood out for the quality of courses taught at all three academic levels and by the innovative use of traditional pedagogical tools. Evidence of this includes teaching awards from the Faculty of Arts and Sciences and excellence mentions from the Department of Chemistry's student association, received multiple years in a row. From the beginning at the University of Montreal, Professor Beauchamp demonstrated leadership qualities in research on coordination chemistry and the use of X-ray diffraction to elucidate their structures. The originality of his work has allowed the Department of Chemistry to stand out, facilitating the recruitment of talented inorganic chemistry professors. Professor Beauchamp has played an active role in key committees within the Department of Chemistry, notably the Graduate Studies Committee for 15 years. He has also contributed to the University’s prominence by participating in numerous knowledge dissemination activities and establishing close collaboration with researchers from the CNRS coordination chemistry laboratory in Toulouse, France.
