Valérie Marvaud is a research director at the CNRS in the IPCM laboratory at the Sorbonne University in Paris. She obtained her degree in Chemistry (Orsay) at the same time as Magistère in Chemistry at the ENS-Paris. She obtained her PhD in Inorganic Chemistry in 1991 at the University Pierre and Marie Curie (Paris 6) under the supervision of Prof. Jean-Pierre Launay (LCMT Paris and CEMES, Toulouse), working on molecular electronics. Her scientific career included postdoctoral positions at the CEA, Saclay and Cambridge University with Prof. Jeremy Sanders, working on supramolecular chemistry. In 1993, she became a CNRS researcher at the University of Bordeaux, where she spent three years in the group of Prof. Didier Astruc working on dendrimers and organometallic chemistry. She then joined Professor Michel Verdaguer in Paris and is now a recognised scientist in the field of molecular magnetism. She has recently published in the fields of high spin molecules, single molecule magnets, photomagnetism, supramolecular chemistry and magnetic dendrimers
