Arthur Desvals obtained his bachelor’s degree in 2017 from the University of Versailles Saint-Quentin-en-Yvelines and his master’s degree in 2019 from the University Paris-Saclay. He then received his PhD degree in 2023 under the supervision of Dr Norbert Hoffmann at the Reims Institute of Molecular Chemistry. His research focuses on photochemical reactions and valorisation of compounds derived from biomass.

Norbert Hoffmann studied chemistry at the RWTH Aachen University, Germany and received his PhD degree in 1992 under the supervision of Hans-Dieter Scharf. In 1993, he obtained a permanent position (Chargé de Recherche) at the French National Centre for Scientific Research (CNRS) in Reims, France. In 2004, he was appointed Research Director in the CNRS. His main research interests are in the field of organic photochemistry: electron transfer, photoinduced radical reactions, stereoselective reactions, cycloadditions of aromatic compounds, reactions in photochemical continuous flow reactors and application of these reactions to organic synthesis. Further research interests concern the production of fine chemicals from biomass and the synthesis and characterisation of dyes (chemistry of polymethine and perylene derivatives).
