David Farrusseng is a Research Director at CNRS and leads the Catalyst and Process Engineering team at IRCELYON, Lyon, France. He specializes in nanoporous materials and their applications in catalysis and separation, pioneering high-throughput methodologies for accelerated material discovery. Inspired by the potential of Metal-Organic Frameworks (MOFs) early in his career, he has focused on designing functional materials with atomic precision to optimize chemical transformations and purification. His research integrates computational and experimental approaches, bridging fundamental insights with practical applications. He has published over 140 peer-reviewed articles and holds 15 patents.
