Short Biography

Prof. Emmanuel Guillon is Full Professor of Environmental Chemistry at Université de Reims Champagne-Ardenne within the Molecular Chemistry Institute of Reims, ICMR UMR CNRS 7312. He received his PhD in Coordination Chemistry from Université de Reims Champagne-Ardenne in 1996. Following his doctoral studies, he moved to Strasbourg for a postdoctoral position in the Coordination Chemistry Laboratory. He obtained a Full Professor position in 2004.

In 2016, he became a Project Scientific Advisor in charge of the Sciences and Techniques domain within the Research Analysis Service of the French Research Evaluation Department at Hcéres. Since 2023, he has held the MERGE Industrial Chair, which focuses on anaerobic digestion through a holistic approach.

His research focuses on the understanding of the fate of contaminants, including metals, pesticides, pharmaceuticals, microplastics and PFAS, in the environment using a multi-scale approach from the molecular to the macroscopic level. Particular attention is given to the influence of organic waste amendments and the cocktail effect.

Prof. Guillon’s work has resulted in more than 120 publications, books, or patents, with an h-index of 40. Since June 2024, he has served as President of the International Institute for Bioeconomy and Environment, EXEBIO.
