Dr. Pierre Morieux is currently the Chemistry Product Marketing Manager at Revvity Signals, formerly PerkinElmer Informatics. In this role, he capitalizes on a decade of experience in the scientific research software industry to empower chemists in developing life-saving therapies and life-enhancing materials through modern, software applications. Prior to his current role, he held positions over a span of almost ten years. His most recent position was as the ChemDraw Global Marketing Manager, where he directed the releases of versions 17 through 21 of ChemDraw, the golden standard for chemical drawing and communication. In his early tenure, he served as a Field Application Scientist, providing exceptional customer support for chemistry applications across the EMEAI region. He’s known on the Internet as ChemDraw Wizard for his series of “ChemDraw Magic” video series and after getting his first job after publishing a viral YouTube video on how to draw the molecule of Viagra under 20 sec in ChemDraw, all the way back in 2012. Pierre got a chemical engineering degree in 2006 from the ENSCP Chimie ParisTech in Paris, got his Ph.D. in Pharmaceutical Sciences at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in 2010, and did a 2-year postdoc at ISIS – University of Strasbourg.

We’ll be hosting Julie Tremble, who will give an overview of her artistic work, and give tips to represent your research in an artistic way.

Julie says:

“My videos and animations interweave scientific data, documentary and science fiction. Recent projects address nucleosynthesis, abiogenesis, biochemistry and exoplanets. This residency at ISIS is initiating a new field for my work focusing on the physico-chemical nature of matter as described by quantum science. I am particularly fascinated by the dual nature of particles (wave-corpuscle); the wave function of atoms; the forces that bind particles, atoms and molecules; and the interactions between light and matter. This workshop will be a moment of exchange. We will first look at certain aesthetic strategies through which I approached scientific research, as well as technical and formal processes that I used to represent phenomena which escape our sensory or temporal apprehension. We will then collectively discuss the participants’ research, ways of representing it by combining the results of scientific experiments; their interpretation; and the fictional or philosophical extrapolations on which they can open. Julie Tremble holds a master’s degree in cinema studies from the University of Montreal (2005) as well as a bachelor’s degree combining cinema and philosophy (2000). Her work has been presented in Canada and internationally in art centers as well as at various festivals. In 2013, she received the prize from the Conseil des arts et des lettres du Québec for the best work of art and experimentation awarded as part of the Rendez-vous du cinéma Québécois.”
