Nicolas Kaeffer
PhD Student
Nicolas KAEFFER is born in Strasbourg, France, in 1989. His primary scientific educational background led him to study chemistry at Chimie ParisTech, France, a chemical science and engineering school belonging to the ParisTech and PSL* networks. In 2012 he received a Chimie ParisTech engineer diploma as well as a master of molecular chemistry of the Université Pierre et Marie Curie (UPMC, Paris 6). He is now doing a PhD at the Laboratoire de Chimie et Biologie des Métaux (CEA Grenoble/Université Joseph Fourier/CNRS ) on the construction of molecular photocathodes for hydrogen evolution, under the supervision of Dr Vincent ARTERO.
