Jean-Rémi Pouliot

Jean-Rémi Pouliot was born in Quebec City, Canada, and received his B.Sc. in Chemistry from Université Laval in 2011. He was awarded a NSERC Graham-Bell scholarship while doing his Ph.D. under the supervision of Professor Mario Leclerc. His research focused on the development and adaptation of direct (hetero)arylation polymerization with an emphasis on high-performance materials for plastic electronics. Believing in the commercial potential of this technology, he co-founded Brilliant Matters along with Philippe Berrouard in 2016. The idea was to bring sustainable, greener material production methods to the printed electronics market and sub-markets.
