Biography

Jérôme Cuny is Assistant Professor of Theoretical and Physical Chemistry at the Toulouse 3 - Paul Sabatier University, France. He received a PhD in theoretical chemistry from the University of Rennes 1 in 2010, and he accomplished his « Habilitation à diriger des recherches » in 2020, entitled “Theoretical study of the physico-chemical properties of aqueous systems: from the gas phase to the condensed phase”. His research interests include aqueous molecular clusters, liquid water, inorganic chemistry, proton transfer processes, global optimization and enhanced sampling methods, molecular dynamics, mainly using DFT and semi-empirical methods.
On the educational side, he is mainly involved in undergraduate chemistry and physical chemistry courses. He is head the futur chemistry Bachelor at the Toulouse 3 - Paul Sabatier University.
