David Landy was born in Calais (France) in 1974. He holds a Master’s Degree in Advanced Instrumentation and Analysis (1997) from the University of Lille 1, a PhD in Supramolecular Chemistry (1999), and was authorised to supervise research activities (2008) from the University of Littoral-Côte d’Opale. He completed a postdoctoral training (2007) in the field of supramolecular species modelling at the Department of Medical Chemistry of the University of Antwerp, Belgium.
He is currently University Professor in the Supramolecular Chemistry team at UCEIV. His research activities focus on the development of characterization of host-guest complexes, using analytical methods (isothermal titration calorimetry, optical spectroscopy, NMR spectroscopy, etc.) and theoretical methods (molecular modelling).
Its research themes concern the application of inclusion phenomena to the detection and remediation of environmental pollutants. Through collaborations, he also participates in the application of complexes in the field of biphasic catalysis and enzyme-substrate recognition.
