Prof. Clément Sanchez is a Member of European Academy of Sciences since 2010, a member of the French Academy of Sciences since 2011, a foreign member of the Real Academia Nacional de Farmacia, Spain since 2011, a member of Academia Europaea since 2012, a Fellow of the Material Research Society since 2012, a foreign member of the Royal Academy of Belgium since 2014, a fellow of the Royal Society of Chemistry since 2014, a member of the World Academy of Ceramics since 2017 and a member of the French Academy of Technologies since 2018. He obtained his PhD in Physical Sciences, University of Pierre et Marie Curie, Paris, France in 1978. He was the Director of the laboratory of Chimie de la Matière Condensée de Paris, UMR CNRS 7574 from 1999 to 2013 and holds the Chaire of Hybrid Materials Chemistry at the Collège de France since 2011.
He is the recipient of a large number of awards and honours such as the CNRS Silver Medal (1995), the Yvan Pueches Prize of the French Academy of sciences (2000), the Lavoisier Medal CEA Le Ripault (2007), Catalan-Sabatier Award of the Real Sociedad Espagnola de Quimica (2007), the Gay-Lussac-Humboldt Award of the Alexander von Humboldt Foundation (2008), the P. Süe Award of the French Chemical Society (2009), the IFP Award of the French Academy of Sciences (2010), François Sommer Award «Man and Nature» (2014), Eni Award «Protection of the Environment» 2014, the Career Award of the International Sol-Gel Society 2015, Advanced Materials PSA Award 2016, Chevalier dans l’ordre national de la légion d’honneur (2017), Highest Award (Grande Médaille) of the French Society for Materials & Metallurgy (SF2M) (2017), International Chair Francqui of Belgium (2018), Prof C.N.R Rao Oration Lecture Award of University of Delhi (2018), CNR Rao Award Lecture of the Chemical Research Society of India (Raipur-2018).
His research interests include designed construction of a large variety of hybrid organic-inorganic nanostructured materials, development of Sol-gel science & technology, bio-inspired approaches to hierarchically structured inorganic and hybrid organic-inorganic materials, soft chemistry based routes to nanostructured materials, templated synthesis, optical, electronic, ionic, catalytic and mechanical properties of nanomaterial and applications of hybrids in the domains of energy, environment, biomaterials and health.
Prof. Sanchez published more than 600 papers in Science, Nature Materials, Adv. Mater., Natl. Sci. Rev., Angew. Chem., JACS, etc. with h-index over 110.
