Biography

Professor Sebastien Perrier graduated from the Ecole National Supèrieure de Chimie de Montpellier, France, in 1998. He undertook his PhD at the University of Warwick, in polymer chemistry, and spent one year as a postdoctoral fellow at the University of New South Wales, Australia. He started his academic career at Leeds in 2002 as a lecturer, then moved to the University of Sydney in 2007, as director of the Key Centre for Polymers & Colloids. In October 2013, Sebastien was appointed as the Monash-Warwick Chair in Polymer Chemistry, a joint appointment between WMS and Chemistry at Warwick, and the Faculty of Pharmacy at Monash University, Australia. This joint appointment enables Sebastien’s team to have labs and infrastructure in Warwick Chemistry, Warwick Medical School and Monash Pharmacy. 

Sebastien has published nine book chapters and over 200 articles, which have received over 15,000 citations (h-index 61), and supervised to date 35 PhD students. His recent awards include the Macro Group UK Young Researcher Award (2006), the Rennie Memorial Medal (2009), the RACI Applied Research Award (2012), a Future Fellowship (2012), the Australian Academy of Science Le Fèvre Memorial Prize (2013), the Wolfson Merit Award (Royal Society, 2014), the Biomacromolecules / Macromolecules Young Investigator Award (ACS, 2014) and the IUPAC / Samsung Young Polymer Scientist Award (IUPAC, 2014), the Macro Group UK Medal (2018).
