Elsa is a first year DPhil Student on the IMAT CDT, and she will be working, jointly with Charlotte Williams’ group, on biodegradable polymers for transmembrane transportation and drug delivery. Originally from France, she graduated from the chemistry department of the Ecole Normale Superieure Paris-Saclay in 2025, with a double bachelor’s degree in physics-chemistry from Paris-Saclay University and a MSc in green chemistry from the University of Strasbourg. Her academic interests centre on sustainable chemistry, particularly biobased monomers and polymers, reflecting her ecological commitment. Outside the lab, you will often find her practising various sports, exploring the world through slow travel, or experimenting in the kitchen.
