Sébastien Laulhé works in organic chemistry, developing new ways to build and modify molecules using light-driven (photochemical) reactions. A major focus is making chemical bonds without relying on expensive metal catalysts, often using electron-donor-acceptor (EDA) complexes and radical processes to functionalize otherwise unreactive carbon-hydrogen bonds. Applications include synthesizing amino acids and other building blocks relevant to pharmaceutical chemistry.
