Victor Mougel is currently serving as associate professor for Bio-inorganic and Bio-inspired Chemistry in the Department of Chemistry and Applied Biosciences at ETH Zürich. His academic journey began with a Bachelor’s and Master’s degree in Chemistry from the ENS of Lyon. He pursued his doctoral studies at the University of Grenoble, working under the guidance of Prof. Marinella Mazzanti. After completing his PhD, he joined ETH Zürich as an ETH Fellow, in the group of Prof. Christophe Copéret. In 2016, he started his independent career as a CNRS associate researcher at Collège de France in Paris, before returning to ETH Zurich in December 2018. Currently, his research interests revolve around the electrochemical activation of small molecules, drawing inspiration from enzymatic systems in a bio-inspired approach.
