Biographie


Christian Herrero a obtenu un diplome en chimie à la Florida International University (Miami, États-Unis). Après son diplome, il a obtenu un Master's en chimie dans le même établissement sous la supervision du Prof. John Landrum sur l’étude des métabolites d’oxydation de la lutéine et de la zéaxanthine. Il a commencé ses études de doctorat à l'Université d'État de l'Arizona (Tempe, Az, États-Unis) dans le groupe des professeurs Ana Moore, Thomas Moore et Devens Gust sur la synthèse d'antennes photosynthétiques artificielles. Il a terminé son doctorat à Universiité Paris-Sud sous la supervision du Prof. Ally Aukauloo travaillant sur la synthèse de mimiques de centres de réaction artificiels.

Pour son travail postdoctoral, Dr. Herrero est passé au CEA-Saclay, où il a travaillé au Département des Sciences du Vivant sous la supervision du Prof. Ally Aukauloo, du Dr Winfried Leibl et du Prof Bill Rutherford. Ses travaux se sont concentrés sur les différents domaines de la photosynthèse artificielle tels que les réactions de transfert d'énergie et d'électrons induits par la lumière, et l'oxydation / réduction de différents substrats. Il a effectué un deuxième post-doctorat à Universiité Paris-Sud sous la supervision du Prof. Banse où il a travaillé sur l'activation par la lumière visible de catalyseurs à base de fer.

Depuis décembre 2015, Dr. Herrero est ingénieur de recherche CNRS à l'Universiité Paris-Sud en charge de l'installation RPE (Résonance Paramagnétique Electronique) où ses principaux intérêts sont le couplage de différentes techniques telles que l'activation par la lumière et l'électrochimie à l'EPR pour générer et étudier des intermédiaires réactifs présents dans les processus redox.
