I am mostly teaching at various levels at ENS de Lyon for L3, M1 ans M2 students, mostly computational (bio)chemisty. Most of the resources can be uploaded on the ENSL intranet for pedagogical resources: link

1. A first training on IR and UV/Vis (CH3Cl, azobenzene) link -- level undergraduate, L3, in French ! (a former version)
2. A training on an easy case of reactivity and constrained optimizations lien (cyclobutane)
3. Supramolecular chemistry (part 1), M1
4. Supramolecular chemistry (part 2), M1
5. A pratical (M1 level) about luminol : link
6. A pratical about DFT benchmarking: the case of two-center three-electrons bonding
7. A case study with QMMM (demon2k): radical cation of guanine
8. A few projects are lised for marking purposes... ici
