Dr. Erwan Le Roux joined the Chemistry department at the University of Bergen (Norway) as an associate professor in 2011, after been previously appointed two years as a lecturer in organometallic chemistry, and then as a temporary associate professor in nanochemistry. Prior this period, he obtained a two-year postdoctoral fellow in the group of Prof. R. Anwander at the same university focusing on coordination complexes of lanthanides for intramolecular hydroamination of aminoalkenes and polymerization of isopropene. Before moving to Norway, he spent a year in the research team of Dr. M. Peruzzini and Dr. L. Gonsalvi in the Institute of Chemistry in Florence (ICCOM-CNR, Italy) as a postdoctoral fellow working on ruthenium and iridium metal hydrides for the selective asymmetric hydrogenation of alkyl aryl ketones. His earlier education was completed in France, where he obtained his Ph.D. degree in 2004 under the supervision of Prof. Jean-Marie Basset & Prof. Christophe Copéret at CPE-University of Lyon, and mostly investigated a new generation of tantalum and tungsten catalysts for the alkane metathesis and direct transformation of ethylene to propylene, and his master in chemistry from the University of Rennes for working on ruthenium allenylidene complexes as molecular wires. His current research efforts focus on the design of organometallic complexes based on non-endangered elements applied to small molecule activation (CO2, N2 and α-olefins) for the development of sustainable polymers and biomass transformation.
