Jean-Pol Dodelet

Dr. Dodelet is Professor of Physical Chemistry at L’Institut National de la Recherche Scientifique (INRS, Canada). After receiving his Ph.D. in Physical Chemistry in 1969 from L’Universite Catholique de Louvain (Belgium) he became a Postdoctoral Fellow and then Research Associate in Radiation Chemistry at the University of Alberta (Canada). In 1976, he became a Professor of Physical Chemistry at L’Universite du Quebec a Trois Rivieres (Canada), where he worked until 1981 on the photoconductive properties of molecular photoconductors before he took his current position. At INRS, he first continued his work on molecular photoconductors before becoming interested, in 1990, in non-noble metal electrocatalysts, the research area where he is still active today. In the last several years, Dr. Dodelet collaborated with General Motors as an Industrial Research Chair in electrocatalysis, sponsored by General Motors of Canada and the Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada. He has 255 research items and over 12,000 citations on ResearchGate.
