En résumé

Je travaille présentement sur le développement d’un modèle biogéochimique couplé à un modèle de circulation océanique afin d’étudier l’impacts des changements climatiques et de l’absorption du CO2 sur les acteurs primaires (phytoplanctons, zooplanctons) de l’écosystème de la Mer de Ross en Antarctique.
Avant cette expérience en océanologie, mon activité de recherche portait sur les énergies fossiles et renouvelables et sur la description des procédés de transformations de la matière organique terrestre et planctonique (actuelle et fossile) en hydrocarbures.
Mon experience post-doctorale arrive bientot a sa fin, je suis donc en recherche active d'un emploi en France en Recherche et Developpement de procedes pour le developpement d'energies renouvellables de 3eme generation ou de retraitement des dechets ou de depollution des sols. Merci de me contacter pour plus de precision.

Entreprises

  • Center for Coastal Physical Oceanography - Postdoctoral Research Associate

    2013 - maintenant

  • Virginia Coastal Energy Research Consortium - Research Assistant Professor

    2010 - 2012 • Continue postdoctoral research and activities.
    • Develop my own research and writing grant skills as junior investigator.

  • Old Dominion University - Post-Doctoral Research Associate

    2008 - 2010 Petroleum geochemistry:
    • Examine the molecular structure of immature kerogen and natural bitumen.
    • Examine at the molecular level the transformation of compounds of intermediate molecular weight (NSOs) generated during low-level maturation of kerogen to identify compounds responsible for petroleum formation.
    • Implement statistical approaches such as two dimensions correlation and principal component analysis using matlab. These approaches are used to integer and compare various types of analytical data in order to description transformation pathway of organic matter in the environment.

    Renewable energies:
    • Develop new processes for the production of biofuels from algae and vegetable oil.
    • Analyse byproduct of the biofuel productions to improve processes and identify other valuables bioproducts.

    Other:
    • Utilize different analytical techniques such as elemental analysis, infrared spectroscopy, nuclear magnetic resonance, mass spectroscopy and gas chromatography for identification and charaterization of organic materials.

  • California Institute of Technology, Materials and process Simulation Center (MSC) - Research visitor

    2006 - 2007 • Employ dynamic molecular modeling using the reactive force field ReaxFF to simulate the first steps of maturation of both geopolymer macromodels.

  • IFP - PhD student

    CHAMBRAY LES TOURS 2004 - 2008 • Isolate by acid and basic hydrolysis resistant aliphatic geopolymer called algaenan from the algae Botryococcus braunii race L.
    • Perform close and opened pyrolysis to simulate the formation petroleum from kerogen.
    • Analyse all the different products (gas, liquids and residue) generated during the maturation of kerogen using elemental analysis, infrared spectroscopy, single and multidimensional nuclear magnetic resonance (CPMAS, DPMAS, HRMAS, TOCSY), mass spectroscopy, gas chromatography and Rock-eval.
    • Characterize the molecular structure of two end-member geopolymers, the algaenan isoleated from B. braunii race L and the lignite collected from the Morwell Open Cut, Latrobe Valley, Victoria, Australia.
    • Propose macromolecular models for both geopolymer and utilize them in molecular modeling.
