Biography

Harry Ramanantoanina was born in Madagascar in 1985. He moved to Switzerland in 2003 where he studied chemistry at University of applied science western Switzerland (Engineering school) and University of Fribourg. He got his PhD degree in 2014 under the supervision of Claude Daul. He is currently postdoctoral fellow at Paul Scherrer Institute in Switzerland (since 2015). His research areas include theoretical modeling, computational chemistry, spectroscopy, ligand-field theory and multiplet theory.
