Guillaume is Professor of Organic Chemistry at the University of Manchester. He obtained his Master's Degree in Chemistry (summa cum laude) from the University of Louvain (Belgium) in 2004. He did his Master's thesis under the supervision of Prof István E. Markó on the development of platinum-based catalyst for the hydrosilylation of alkynes. He obtained a fellowship from the FRIA to undertake a PhD, in the same laboratory, on the synthesis of angular triquinanes. In 2009 he took a post-doctoral position in the laboratory of Prof Jean-François Gohy and Charles-André Fustin (UCL, Belgium) to work on the assembly of mechanically-linked block copolymers. In 2011, after having obtained a Bourse d’excellence from the WBI and a Fellowship for International Mobility from the FRS he joined the group of Prof David A. Leigh, first in Edinburgh then in Manchester, to work on the development of molecular machines. He started his independent career in January 2016 at the University of Manchester, under the impulse of a Royal Society University Research Fellowship. He was promoted to Senior Lecturer in 2021 and Professor in 2022.
