Abdelkrim El-Ghayoury received his PhD in 1999 in Molecular Chemistry at Strasbourg University. After two years of postdoctoral research (1999–2001) at Eindhoven University, he worked as a senior researcher at TNO Institute of Technology (2001–2004). Since 2004, he has been an Associate Professor at the University of Angers, where he works on multifunctional molecular materials for photonics and optoelectronics. In 2013, he received his habilitation diploma from the University of Angers. He is interested in associating two or more physical properties within the same material through coordination chemistry. He is also interested in linear and nonlinear optical properties of coordination metal complexes, in which the NLO response is modulated by the metal complexation. He has published more than 100 articles (h-index = 32; 3083 citations, 26.8 citations per article; source: Web of Science, March 6, 2025), and he is a co-author of one international patent. He has presented at more than 40 regular national and international conferences and seminars, including as an invited speaker, and he was part of the organizing committee of six national and international conferences. He has supervised more than 10 Master’s students, four PhD students, and is currently supervising one PhD student.
