Claire successfully defended her PhD thesis, New Perspectives Toward the Valorization of Bio-Based Molecules, last Monday! During her five years at CiTOS, she explored the complex chemistry of vicinal diols—key bio-based building blocks—through a multifaceted strategy that combined traditional physical-chemistry methods with modern tools such as machine learning and DFT.
Her energy, determination, and creativity will be greatly missed, and we all wish her the very best in her future career.
