Teaching

​

 

I'm teaching in different courses at both Bachelor (B.Sc. - “Licence”) and Master (M.Sc.) levels. I’m particularly involved in courses combining physical chemistry and biology. These includes:

​

​

“Licence” (Sorbonne Université)

 

• General chemistry (1st year)

Chemical equilibrium, reactions in aquesous solutions (acid-base, redox, precipitation reactions ...)

​

• Inorganic chemistry - Biomineralization (2nd year)

Description of hard mineralized tissues, role of proteins in biomineralization, pathological mineralization, nucleation theory.

​

• Electrochemistry (3rd year)

Thermodynamics of electrochemical cells, Debye-Hückel theory, mass transport mechanisms, kinetics of electrochemical reactions, etc.

​

Master  (Sorbonne Université)

 

• Bibliographic projects

​

• Atomic force microscopy & force spectroscopy

Principle, colloidal probe, chemical force microscopy (surface charge, wettability, …), single-molecule events (protein unfolding, AFM tip functionalization), dynamic force spectroscopy.

 

 

Engineering school (Polyetch-Sorbonne)

 

• Biotechnologies and biosensors

Overview of biotechnologies, enzymes (structure, catalytic properties), antibodies, surface functionalization, biosensing: principle, applications  and recent advances, etc. In this course, we follow a pedagogical approach that is based on (i) “classical teaching” and (ii) projects designed, developed and evaluated by the students.
