Pascal Raybaud est Chercheur en modélisation moléculaire appliquée à la catalyse et Adjoint Scientifique de la Direction Catalyse, Biocatalyse et Séparation d’IFP Energies nouvelles (IFPEN). Il est titulaire de la chaire industrielle de Design rationnel pour la Catalyse (ROAD4CAT). Il est membre du Comité Editorial de Journal of Catalysis, journal international à comité de lecture. 

Il est diplômé de l'École Nationale Supérieure des Mines de Nancy et d’IFP School (1995). En 1998, il a obtenu un Doctorat en chimie de l’Univ. Technique de Vienne, de Sorbonne Université et d’IFPEN sous la co-supervision des Profs. J. Hafner et B. Silvi et du Dr. H. Toulhoat. En 2009, il a obtenu son Habilitation à Diriger les Recherches (HDR). En 2010, il a reçu le Prix de la Division Catalyse de la Société Chimique de France.

Combinant approches de modélisation moléculaire et expérimentations, ses travaux de recherche visent à la rationalisation à l’échelle atomique des catalyseurs hétérogènes (sulfures de métaux de transition, oxydes, métaux…) depuis leur préparation jusqu’à leur réactivité. Il explore de nouvelles voies de recherche basées sur la conception rationnelle assistée par modélisation moléculaire de catalyseurs innovants. Il a développé divers centres d’intérêts scientifiques : chimie quantique, science de surface, catalyse (homogène et hétérogène), physico-chimie, modélisation cinétique, stockage d’hydrogène et photocatalyse.
