Biography

Quentin Michaudel is an Associate Professor at Texas A&M University in the College of Arts and Sciences. His research focuses on organic chemistry, catalysis, and polymer science, particularly the development of novel catalytic processes for polymerizations that enable the synthesis of complex macromolecules with unprecedented properties for applications in energy production, sustainable plastics, and therapeutics. Key inquiries in his research include understanding how stereochemistry influences polymer properties and designing modular, efficient click reactions to produce easily modifiable molecules. Michaudel's lab actively explores projects such as the development of stereoselective olefin metathesis polymerizations and the invention of SuFEx click processes coupled with photochemistry for rapid synthesis and functionalization of small molecules and polymers. He emphasizes providing extensive training to researchers in synthetic organic chemistry, polymer synthesis, and characterization.
