Antoine Van Vooren is a postdoctoral research fellow.

He obtained his Master Thesis in 2005 (University of Mons), and did his PhD in science in the same university, in the laboratory for Chemistry of Novel Materials on charge transfer reactions.

His research interests mostly deal with the opto-electronic properties of conjugated organic materials from a theoretical point of view.

His domain of expertise is the theoretical characterization at quantum chemistry and molecular mechanics level.
