Short Resume:
Claude Piguet was born in Geneva in 1961. He studied chemistry at the AV¶ÌÊÓÆµ and obtained his PhD thesis with felicitations in 1989 in the field of biomimetic copper-dioxygen complexes. He pursued his formation as a postdoctoral fellow in the group of Prof. J.-M. Lehn (AV¶ÌÊÓÆµ of Strasbourg, 1989-1990) and then collaborated as Maître-assistant with Prof. A. F. Williams (AV¶ÌÊÓÆµ, 1990-1994) and Prof. J.-C. G. Bünzli (AV¶ÌÊÓÆµ of Lausanne, 1995). In 1995, he received the Werner Medal of the Swiss Chemical Society for his research in the field of Supramolecular Chemistry of d- and f-block metal ions. Recipient of the Werner grant for the project 'Toward Organized Luminescent Materials' and Lecturer at the AV¶ÌÊÓÆµ (1995-1998), he was nominated full professor in Inorganic Chemistry in 1999. His research interests and topics include the design of controlled self-assembled supramolecular complexes with d-block and f-block metal ions, the development of functional lanthanide probes and sensors, the preparation of lanthanide-containing metallomesogens and the application of paramagnetic NMR for characterizing co-ordination complexes in solution.
