Xavier Coqueret is Professor of Polymer Chemistry at the Ecole Nationale Superieure de Chimie de Lille. His major area of research is polymer photochemistry with emphasis on the synthesis and reactivity of functionalized macromolecules, electron beam induced modification of polymers by cross-linking or by grafting, and to radiation initiated polymerizations. He is the author or co-author of more than 120 papers and 7 patents. He recently moved to the University of Reims Champagne Ardenne.
