| Bibliography: | Christian Serre, 46 years old, is an engineer from the Ecole Supérieure de Physique et de Chimie Industrielles de Paris (ESPCI). He obtained his PhD in Inorganic Chemistry in 1999 at the University of Versailles St Quentin, France. After a post-doc in the USA within the CNRS-Rhodia Inc. joint laboratory, he became a CNRS research scientist in 2001 at Institut Lavoisier de Versailles. As a CNRS research director he took the lead of the Porous Solids team in 2009. He then created in 2016 a new Institute of Porous Materials at the Ecole Normale Supérieure and ESPCI in Paris. His research topics deal with the synthesis, structure determination and applications of porous solids. Christian received the CNRS bronze medal, a European Research Council starting grant, the Solid State Chemistry award of the French chemical society and very recently the Fondé de l'Etat award from the French Academy of Sciences. Andy Cooper obtained his PhD in 1994 at the University of Nottingham. He joined Liverpool in 1999, where he is the Academic Director of the Materials Innovation Factory and the Director of the new Leverhulme Research Centre for Functional Materials Design. His research interests are polymers, porous molecular materials, crystal engineering, and photocatalytic water splitting. Three new classes of porous materials have arisen from his work: conjugated microporous polymers, porous organic cages, and porous molecular liquids (with Prof. Stuart James, Queens University Belfast). His awards include the Macro Group Young Researchers Award (2002), the McBain Medal (2007), the Corday-Morgan Prize (2009), the Macro Group Award (2010), and the Tilden Prize (2014). He was listed in the 2014 Thompson Reuters Highly Cited Researcher list, one of just 13 UK researchers so listed in the categories of Chemistry or Materials Science. He was elected to the Royal Society in 2015. Gérard Férey is one of the pioneers of the domain of MOFs. Being successively a Professor at Le Mans University (1967-1988 and 1992-1995), and the deputy Director of the Chemistry Department of CNRS (1988-1992) before creating the Institut Lavoisier (Versailles), he became a Professor at the Institut Universitaire de France (1999-2009). His research currently concerns inorganic and hybrid micro- and mesoporous solids (synthesis, structures, mechanisms of formation, structural prediction, and multifunctionalities) for dedicated applications in the domains of energy, energy savings, sustainable development and health. Being a member of several foreign Academies, he has also received many international awards, coming from Germany, Spain, Italy, Japan, the United States, and Russia. Recently, he received the Gold Medal of CNRS (2010), the Davison Award of M.I.T., the Lavoisier Gold Medal of the French Chemical Society (2013) and the Award Lecture of the European Chemical Societies (2016). Being the author of more than 600 publications in top journals, numerous plenary lectures (>100) and 10 international patents (>12), some of them licensed, he is since 2015 a Thomson Reuters "Highly Cited Researcher". Guillaume Maurin, 41 years old, received his PhD in Physical Chemistry from Université Montpellier 2 (France) in 2001. After a Post-Doctoral Marie Curie Fellowship at the Royal Institution of Great Britain in London (UK) in the group of Pr. C. R. A. Catlow, he became Lecturer in 2002 at the Université Provence-Marseille (France) and later at the Université Montpellier 2 where he received his "Habilitation to Direct Research" in 2006. He is currently Professor at the Université Montpellier and at the Institut Universitaire de France. He is head of the "Dynamics & Adsorption in Materials with Porosity" Group at the Institut Charles Gerhardt Montpellier and his research interests include the development and applications of advanced molecular simulation techniques to design new nanoporous materials and model their performance for energy and environment-related applications.
