Dr. Abraham Chemtob (AC, 45 years) obtained a PhD degree (Polymer Chemistry) in 2003 at the University of Bordeaux (France) on the development of Ring-Opening Metathesis Polymerisation (ROMP) in dispersed media. After two postdoctoral positions in world-class institutions (University of Sydney - Australia, University of Basque Country - Spain), he became lecturer (University of Haute Alsace - France) in 2006 at the Department of Photochemistry. At present, he works at the Institut de Sciences des Matériaux de Mulhouse (IS2M, CNRS). AC has supervised some 11 PhDs and 5 postdoctoral fellows. He is author of 99 refereed publications including 2 reviews, 5 book chapters and 5 patents. He has co-chaired 5 international events: the 2005 and 2006 Emulsion Courses (POLYMAT, Spain), the 2007 Polyray (Mulhouse), the 2009 Club Emulsion (Mulhouse), the 2019 colloquium of the Groupe Français des Polymères. AC research activities have focused on innovative photopolymerization mechanisms and processes with 3 key topics: 1. Radical Photopolymerization in Aqueous Dispersed Media, 2. Inorganic Sol-Gel Photopolymerization and 3. Step-Growth Photopolymerizations. As main achievements, AC research has developed novel photoreactors for eco-efficient emulsion polymerization. He has set up a novel inorganic photopolymerization route to design self-assembled and mesoporous nanocomposites. In 2012-2015, he was appointed coordinator of a 3-year Industry-Academy ANR-funded research project focused on emulsion chain radical photopolymerization. AC is now coordinating an “innovative training network” (ITN) project entitled Towards Next generation Eco-efficient PHOTO and EMULSION Polymerizations funded through the Horizon 2020 Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions Programme. The European project aims at training a group of 8 PhD students through a high-quality research network including 8 internationally reputed academic institutions, 4 companies and 2 non-profit organizations.
