Yves Gnanou (born February 7, 1955) is a French polymer chemist, currently serving as the Ibn Alhaytham Distinguished Professor of Chemistry at the King Abdullah University of Science and Technology (KAUST) in Thuwal, Saudi Arabia.[1][2][3]

Early life and education[edit]

Yves Gnanou holds French nationality. He pursued his higher education at the Université Louis Pasteur in Strasbourg. In 1981, he obtained his Master’s of Science degree in Polymer Chemistry. Further advancing his studies, he was awarded a "Doctorat ès Sciences" (PhD) in Polymer Chemistry from the same institution in 1985.

Research and career[edit]

Yves Gnanou has held positions at various institutions around the globe. His career began with a role as a scientist at the Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique (CNRS) within the Institut Charles Sadron. Presently, Gnanou lends his experience and insights in the capacity of Senior Advisor to both KAUST’s President and its Provost. After joining KAUST, GNANOU focused his efforts on the utilization of carbon dioxide (CO2) as a sustainable raw material for plastic production.[4][5] His work aimed to design carbon-negative plastics and develop fully degradable CO2-based polycarbonates as eco-friendly alternatives to conventional plastics.[6][7] This research that resulted in the discovery of metal-free catalysts is now poised for industrial adoption, with companies like Shandong Lianxin Environmental Protection Technology in China gearing up to produce significant quantities of these CO2-based plastics.[8][9]

He has authored more than 300 publications, co-invented 26 patents, and a h-index of 66 on Google Scholar.[3]

Awards and honors[edit]

Throughout his career, Gnanou has been the recipient of numerous accolades and honors that underscore his contributions to the field. GNANOU's dedication to the realm of education and his significant contributions to the nation were celebrated with the conferral of the title "Chevalier dans l’Ordre des Palmes Académiques" in 2011 and "Chevalier dans l’Ordre de la Légion d’Honneur" in 2013.[2][5]
