André-Jean Attias received his Ph. D degree in Macromolecular Science from Université Pierre & Marie Curie (now Sorbonne Université), Paris, France, in 1988. From 1983 to 2002 he had an engineer position at the French Space Research Agency (ONERA) and developed researches on conjugated materials. In 2002, he moved to Sorbonne Université to join the Chemistry Department as full professor. In 2018 he established at Yonsei University an International Research Laboratory (Building Blocks for FUture Electronics - 2B-FUEL) in partnership between the French National Centre for Scientific Research CNRS, Sorbonne Université (France), and the Yonsei University (South Korea). His current main research interests include supramolecular self-assembly at surfaces for applications in organic nano-photonics and -electronics, and innovative organic semiconductors for organic electronics. He received the IUPAC Distinguished Award 2011 for Novel Materials and their Synthesis.
