Lucas Paris – PhD candidate (2025 – present)

Lucas pursued his studies mainly focused on organometallic chemistry and organic synthesis in Dijon, France. After an internship in Barcelona that increased his interest about nanomaterials and their applications, he wanted to move in the research group of Pr. Nazemi to continue as a PhD student in this field. He’s interested about lot of things including soccer, especially Real Madrid, airplanes, arts. Despite being a bad cook, he likes to discover new food.

Thomas Jacquemin – PhD candidate (2025- present)

Thomas spent most of his childhood in Vannes (Brittanny, France). He then moved to Rennes (Brittanny, France) at 17 to earn a bachelor’s and a master’s degree at Université de Rennes. As a part of its curriculum, he completed three internships in organic and organometallic chemistry: two at the Institut des Sciences Chimiques de Rennes (Rennes, France) — first under Prof. Assoc. E. Kirillov, then under Prof. L. Norel— and one at the Technische Universität Chemnitz (Chemnitz, Germany), supervised by Prof. J. Teichert. Eager to explore new horizons, he relocated to Montreal at 23 to pursue a PhD in the field of organic and polymer chemistry with Prof. Ali Nazemi. His research mainly focused on the development of self-healable and degradable polymer, based on polyurea incorporating a phosphorus–nitrogen 3D inorganic cage. When he isn’t in the lab, he either works out at the gym or treats himself to a good meal at a local restaurant.

Noémie Wilson-Faubert – MSc candidate (2023 – present)

Noémie is living on the north shore of Montreal and obtained her BSc in chemistry at the Université du Québec à Montréal (UQAM). After working in research in metallurgy, she discovered a big interest in the field of polymers and nanomaterials and in 2023, she joined Pr. Nazemi research group to work on self-healable and degradable polymers. Noémie likes to play sports, travelling, she loves nature and open-air activities but mostly spending time with her loved ones.

Olivier Ross – MSc candidate (2025 – present)

Olivier, the youngest of a family of 4, lives on the South Shore of Montreal and obtained his college diploma (DEC) in Natural Sciences at Cégep Saint-Jean-Sur-Richelieu to pursue his BSc. in chemistry at the Université du Québec à Montréal (UQAM) during which he discovered his interest in polymers and nanomaterials. It was in the third year of his BSc. that he began his research internship with the Nazemi research group on degradable and self-healing polymers. In 2025, after completing his BSc., Olivier started his MSc. on nanomaterials for the development of reusable gold nanoparticle catalysts. Also, Olivier enjoys playing video games, listening to music and doing Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu.
