He is the author or editor of 13 books, over 600 research papers and 22 patents, and has been awarded several national and international awards and visiting professorships. His main research interest is the molecular mechanistic understanding of catalytic reactions. Philippe Sautet was born in 1961, has studied at Ecole Polytechnique in Paris and defended his doctorate in Theoretical Chemistry at Orsay University (Paris XI) in 1989. He then entered CNRS at the Institute of Research on Catalysis in Lyon, where he set up developed and led a group devoted to the applications of theoretical chemistry to heterogeneous catalysis. He is now Director of research at CNRS, and director of the Laboratory of Chemistry at the Ecole Normale Supérieure of Lyon and at CNRS. He has published over 150 scientific papers.
