Renaud graduated from the engineering school of chemistry of Montpellier, France in 1985 with a Master’s degree in chemistry. His PhD degree obtained in 1989 was on organoborane asymmetric synthesis. After postdoctoral research at the school of pharmacy of Minneapolis, Minnesota, he worked in a pharmaceutical start up in Paris, and is co-author of several patents.
In 1995 Renaud moved to Montpellier to work for the French governmental agency in charge of health products, where he served as Department Manager from 1998 until 2004, supervising a team of 33 people. Since 2010 Renaud has worked in cooperation with the Engineering School of Chemistry of Montpellier University on greenhouse gases removal. His current research interests include the application of photocatalytic chemistry and processes for environmental protection to fight climate change and for remediation purposes. Together with Chinese co-authors, they were the first to propose different methods to remove several greenhouse gases at a climatically significant scale, such as methane and tropospheric (surface) ozone.view less
