Biography
Richard Vendamme obtained an engineering degree and a master degree in organic and macromolecular chemistry in Lille (France) in 2001. He subsequently moved to the Max-Planck Institute for Polymer Research (Mainz, Germany) for preparing a Ph.D. dealing with stimuli-responsive liquid crystalline gels. In 2004 he was awarded a JSPS postdoctoral fellowship and started his career at the Institute of Physical and Chemical Research (RIKEN) in Japan, where he notably created a unique class of free-standing nanomembranes. He joined Nitto Denko in late 2007, where his interests extended to various topics such as molecular imprinting, adhesion, green chemistry, sustainability, bio-inspired materials, new business development and the translation of scientific innovations into real-life business cases.
