Christophe Sinturel is a professor of chemistry at the University of Orléans. He received his master's degree in organic chemistry in 1994 and his PhD in polymer science from the University Blaise Pascal of Clermont-Ferrand, France, in 1998. He spent one year at the University of Brighton, UK, in 1999 as a postdoctoral research associate before being appointed associate professor in the same year at the University of Orléans, France. After completing his HDR (Habilitation à Diriger les Recherches) in 2008, he obtained a full-professor position at the University of Orléans in 2010. In 2014–2015, he spent a year at the Polymer Group of the University of Minnesota, USA, being hosted by Professor Marc Hillmyer as a visiting scholar (délégation CNRS). Christophe is currently conducting research at the ICMN, a joint project of the Research Institute of the Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique (CNRS) and the University of Orléans. His current research interests are mainly polymers in thin films, such as polymer blends, nanostructured polymers, polymer nanocomposites and block polymers. He has been the director of the ICMN since 2021.
