Céline Chizallet graduated from Ecole Normale Supérieure (Paris, MSc in 2002, “Agrégation de Chimie” in 2003). She obtained a PhD in Inorganic Chemistry in 2006 (Paris VI University, under the supervision of Prof. M. Che), and an HDR (Habilitation à Diriger des Recherches) from Ecole Normale Supérieure de Lyon in 2017. She currently holds a position as Project Leader in the Catalysis, Biocatalysis and Separation Division of IFP Energies nouvelles in Solaize, France. IFP Energies nouvelles is a public company with a scope towards energy. The role of Céline in this context is the implementation of quantum chemistry approaches within applied experimental research programs. Her research interest deals with computational heterogeneous catalysis, with the simulation of complex catalysts of industrial relevance, in particular reactions catalyzed by aluminosilicates and supported metals. She is co-author of ab. 110 peer reviewed articles, 5 patents and one book chapter. Her works has been awarded by several young researcher awards (Edith Flanigen award 2015, physical chemistry division of the French Chemical Society 2016, catalysis division of the French Chemical Society 2018, French group of Zeolites 2023).
