It was also an honor to welcome Professor O. Eisenstein— a pioneer in the use of NMR computations in organometallic chemistry and a long-standing collaborator— to the group on the same day!

Congrats to Domenico on the successful defense of his PhD! 🎉His work focused on advancing the molecular understanding of SACs and clusters using solid-state NMR and DFT calculations. Many thanks to Professors G. Pacchioni and B. Chaudret for serving as examiners.

The group celebrated Christophe election to the French Academy of Science by gifting him a sword! Albeit a less traditional one than usually done ⚔️

In the field of chemistry, four new members were elected to the French Académie des sciences in 2026, among them Christophe Copéret, professor at the Laboratory of Inorganic Chemistry and currently head of the D-CHAB ETH. Congratulations! Learn more 👉 ethz.ch/staffnet/en/ne…

Congratulations to Christophe who has been appointed as a member of the Académie des Sciences for his work on surfaces and interfaces of materials and heterogeneous catalysts. He joins an outstanding group of scientists across disciplines, recognised through their appointments.

Yesterday, Prof. Nako Nakatsuka was awarded the #RuzickaPrize2025 ! In her talk she outlined how closely the level of neurotransmitters is linked to brain disorders. To capture the tiny neurotransmitters, her research combines chemistry and engineering.

During the celebration of ETH Zurich’s 170th anniversary, Prof. Mercouri Kanatzidis was awarded an honorary doctorate for his ground-breaking advances in solid-state chemistry. @ETH ethz.ch/en/news-and-ev…
