Career

Guilard received the "Agrégation de Sciences Physiques" Degree in 1966 and a PhD in 1971 from the University of Burgundy.{{Cite web|url=https://www.usherbrooke.ca/a-propos/histoire-de-luniversite/docteurs-dhonneur/docteurs/g/roger-guilard/|title=Roger Guilard - À propos - Université de Sherbrooke|website=www.usherbrooke.ca|access-date=2019-04-17}} He was a Postdoctoral Fellow at the University of Basel, Switzerland and at the University of Darmstadt, Germany from 1972 to 1973, and subsequently has been at the University of Burgundy from 1973 to present. At the University of Burgundy he has been the director of the Laboratory of Synthesis and Organometallic Electrosynthesis and the Molecular Engineering Laboratory for Separation and Applications of Gases.

Guilard was Scientific Director of the Department of Chemistry at the French Ministry of Education, Technology and Research, and then Managing Director for the partnership of local authorities in the Partnership Branch of the Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique, CNRS.

Guilard founded two companies, Chematech{{Cite web|url=https://www.chematech-mdt.com/history/|title=History – www.chematech-mdt.com|language=en-US|access-date=2019-04-15}}{{Cite web|url=http://carnot.org/mentors/les-mentors-sciences?lang=en|title=Sciences Mentors|website=Fondation Carnot|language=en-US|access-date=2019-04-15}} and PorphyChem{{Cite web|url=https://www.porphychem.com/en/about-us/history/1|title=PorphyChem - Porphyrin Chemicals & Engineering|website=www.porphychem.com|access-date=2019-04-15}} which produce tetraazamacrocycles, porphyrins, phthalocyanines and related compounds, respectively, for use in research, industrial applications{{Cite web|url=https://www.porphychem.com/en/about-us/porphychem-company/2|title=PorphyChem - Porphyrin Chemicals & Engineering|website=www.porphychem.com|access-date=2019-04-15}}{{Cite web|url=https://www.chematech-mdt.com/mission/|title=Mission – www.chematech-mdt.com|language=en-US|access-date=2019-04-15}} and health care.{{Cite web|url=https://www.porphychem.com/en/expertise/health/26|title=PorphyChem - Porphyrin Chemicals & Engineering|website=www.porphychem.com|access-date=2019-04-15}} He is also a member of the advisory board of LARS - Ligament Augmentation and Reconstruction System which provides synthetic ligaments for soft tissue repair.
