The Len Research Group Update: 03/07/2025
Welcome to the Len Research Group Website!
We are a research group called Synthetic Chemistry in Flow - SCiFLOW under the supervision of Prof. Dr. Christophe Len within the Institute of Chemistry for Life and Health Sciences (i-CLeHS UMR CNRS 8060) in Chimie ParisTech. The focus of our research lies on the development of alternative tools applied to organic chemistry, catalysis and new technologies. The emphasis on continuous flow associated with other different activation processes such as microwave, ultrasound, ball-milling is the main objective. He has a strong interest to build a bridge between academic and industrial researches for the production of chemicals, fuels and materials from chemical and wastes.
"The best way to predict the future is to create it."
