Aurélie Claraz received her Ph. D. degree in organic chemic chemistry in 2012 at Rouen (INSA) under the guidance of Dr. Vincent Levacher. She joined the group of Prof. Petri Pihko at the University of Jyväskylä in Finland from 2013 to 2015 as a postdoctoral fellow. She then held a temporary assistant lecturer position in an engineering school in Paris (Chimie ParisTech) working with Dr. Sylvain Darses. After a second postdoctoral position in the group of Prof. Janine Cossy (ESPCI Paris), she was appointed at the CNRS as "Chargée de recherche" in the group of Dr. Géraldine Masson (ICSN) in November 2017. Her research interests lie mainly in the field of asymmetric catalysis with a special emphasis on organocatalyst design.
