Dr Guillaume De Bo
|
Guillaume obtained his Masters Degree in Chemistry (summa cum laude) from the University of Louvain (Belgium) in 2004. He did his Masters thesis under the supervision of Prof István E. Markó on the development of platinum-based catalyst for the hydrosilylation of alkynes. He obtained a fellowship from the FRIA to undertake a PhD, in the same laboratory, on the synthesis of angular triquinanes. In 2009 he took a post-doctoral position in the laboratory of Prof Jean-François Gohy and Charles-André Fustin (UCL, Belgium) to work on the assembly of mechanically-linked block copolymers. In 2011, after having obtained a Bourse d’excellence from the WBI and a Fellowship for International Mobility from the FRS he joined the group of Prof David A. Leigh, first in Edinburgh then in Manchester, to work on the development of molecular machines. Since January 2016 he is a Royal Society University Research Fellow at the University of Manchester.
