Fabrice Pointillart (
@PointillartF) obtained his PhD in physics and chemistry of materials from Pierre et Marie Curie University in 2005, supervised by Prof. Cyrille Train and Prof. Michel Verdaguer. After a postdoctoral research at the University of Florence with Prof. Roberta Sessoli he joined the University of Rennes in 2007, as a CNRS researcher. He has been awarded the CNRS Bronze Medal (2014) and Young researcher Coordination Chemistry Division (2017). His current research interests are focused on multifunctional molecular materials based on lanthanides combining magnetic and (chir)optical properties for the observation of single molecule magnet behaviour, magneto-chiral dichroism and circularly polarized luminescence.
