Cyrille received his PhD from the University of Montpellier II. His PhD was performed in collaboration with Solvay-Solexis for the preparation of new adhesives. At the end of his PhD, he undertook a position with Dupont Performance Elastomers, dealing with the synthesis of fluorinated elastomers. Later, he joined the University of New South Wales in the School of Chemical Engineering, where, in 2009, he was awarded an Australian Research Council Fellowship (ARC-APD). In 2012, Cyrille has been awarded an Australian Research Council-Future Fellowship. In January 2017,Cyrille has been promoted as full Professor at the University of New South Wales and co-Director of Australian Centre for Nanomedicine. More recently, he serves as Deputy Head of School (research). Cyrille’s research interests mainly cover the preparation of functional macromolecules, where he develops new polymerization techniques using photocatalysts. These macromolecules find applications in various areas, including in nanomedicine and in energy storage. The research of his group has been recognized by several research awards, including 2018 IUPAC-Polymer International Young Researcher award, 2016 ACS Biomacromolecules/Macromolecules Young Researcher Awards, 2016 Journal of Polymer Science Innovation Award, Le Fevre Memorial Prize for Chemistry; 2015 Malcolm McIntosh Prize for Physical Science (one of the six Prime Minister Prize), etc.
