Mathieu Surin obtained a PhD from the University of Mons in 2005, in the field of self-assembly of conjugated polymers with Prof. Roberto Lazzaroni. In 2005, he was a visiting researcher at the University of California Santa Barbara with Prof. Alan Heeger. He then completed a post-doctoral fellowship in the group of Prof. Paolo Samorì at the Institute for Supramolecular Science and Engineering (ISIS) in Strasbourg. Since 2009 he is permanent researcher of the Fund for Scientific Research-FNRS within the University of Mons. His main research interests are supramolecular chemistry, bioinspired chemistry, and self-assembled materials.
Teaching at UMONS: Supramolecular chemistry / Bioinspired Chemistry / Materials Chemistry / Molecular modeling.
