Gábor Molnár

Gabor Molnár was born in Szolnok (Hungary) in 1973. He received his M. Sc. degree in 1996 from the Eötvös Loránd University (Budapest, Hungary). He prepared his Ph.D. thesis under the supervision of P. Iacconi (University of Nice, France) and J. Borossay (Eötvös University) in the field of luminescent materials. He held a postdoctoral position for 8 months at the IMRA-Europe company (Sophia Antipolis, France) and worked on photovoltaic materials. He then joined the group of J.J. Mc-Garvey as a Marie Curie fellow for 12 months at the Queens University of Belfast (U.K.) to develop a new high-pressure Raman spectroscopy set-up. In 2002, he became Research Associate (“poste rouge”) at the CNRS Laboratoire de Chimie de Coordination (Toulouse, France) where he received later a permanent position with the group of A. Bousseksou. His current research focuses on molecular bistability phenomena and nano-structured materials.
