Speakers
dr. Julie Oble
Dr. Julie Oble received in 2007 her PhD degree from the Ecole Polytechnique (Paris, France) under the direction of Drs. L. Grimaud and L. Elkaïm. In 2007, she obtained a one-year postdoctoral position in the research group of Prof. A. B. Charette at the University of Montréal (Canada). After two further years as a postdoctoral fellow under the supervision of Dr. E. Lacôte, Prof. S. Thorimbert and Prof. B. Hasenknopf at UPMC, she joined in 2010 the research team of Prof. Giovanni Poli at Sorbonne Université as Assistant Professor. She obtained her habilitation degree from this university in 2020 and recently received the “Enseignant-Chercheur 2020” award given by the Organic Division of the French Chemical Society (Prix Jean Normant). Her research focuses on the development of new metal-catalyzed domino reactions toward the synthesis of heterocycles, homogeneous and quasi-homogeneous catalytic C-H activations and biomass valorization.
Caroline graduated as a chemical engineer from Chimie ParisTech. She then pursued a PhD in co-supervision between Lucas Meyer Cosmetics, INRAE, and Université du Havre. Her thesis focused on the valorization of lignins and lignin derivatives as emulsifiers for cosmetic applications.
Afterward, Caroline joined CHANEL Parfums Beauté, where she worked on diagnosing formula instabilities through physicochemical characterization. She also contributed to the development of new instrumental methods to anticipate potential issues during formula production.
Currently, she leads the development of high-performance functional raw materials derived from strategic CHANEL plant supply chains, actively contributing to the sustainable sourcing and eco-design strategy of the Innovation and Materials Development department.
