Jules studied chemistry at Université Joseph Fourier in Grenoble, France, and obtained his PhD in 2017 from Université Grenoble Alpes under the supervision of Drs. Nicolas Leconte and Amaury d'Hardemare. His research focused on developing bio-inspired 3d-metal complexes for aerobic oxidation catalysis.

From 2018 to 2019, he was a postdoc researcher with Prof. Grégory Nocton at École Polytechnique, Palaiseau, contributing to an ERC-funded project on heterobimetallic complexes involving divalent lanthanides to control electron transfer mechanisms onto transition metals.
Then in 2020, he joined Prof. Thomas Gianetti at The University of Arizona, working on organic photoredox catalysts design. During this period, he co-founded and managed a company dedicated to symmetric organic redox flow battery technology.

In December 2024, Jules became a CNRS researcher in Dr. Vincent Artero's research group SolHyCat at CEA Grenoble. His work focuses on the development of lanthanide-based photo(electro)catalysis methodologies for CO2 reduction and solar fuel generation.
