Elias Bou-Maroun obtained his Master’s degree in Physical Chemistry in 1999 and his Ph.D. in 2004 from the University of Strasbourg, France. His doctoral research focused on the design of mesostructured silica materials and their application in the removal of metals from aqueous media. From 2005 to 2006, he pursued a postdoctoral fellowship at the CNRS (National Centre for Scientific Research) in Strasbourg and at the CEA (French Alternative Energies and Atomic Energy Commission) in Marcoule, where he worked on the development of new affinity chromatography solid phases. In 2007, he undertook a second postdoctoral position at the Laboratory of Analytical Chemistry and Food Science, Faculty of Pharmacy, University of Strasbourg. Since 2007, he has been an Assistant Professor of Analytical Chemistry at Institut Agro Dijon, France. In 2018, he obtained his professorial thesis (HDR) from the University of Burgundy and was promoted to Associate Professor. In 2025, he was appointed Full Professor of Analytical Chemistry. His current research focuses on the design of molecularly imprinted and functional polymers for the development of rapid, sensitive, and cost-effective methods to analyze trace components in food.
