Entreprises

  • CAPSUM - Senior Scientist

    Marseille 2008 - maintenant - Team leader responsible for research and development activities of the Millifluidic Platform; proprietary technology allowing to make object-by-object millimeter-sized capsules.
    - Managed team to develop, evaluate performances, and validate products and processes.
    - Successfully launched first microfluidic-based materials for cosmetics; first Capsum product.
    - Designed microfluidic process and transferred it from laboratory scale into production in time and within budget.
    - Actively participated in the development and growth of Capsum. Started as first employee in Sept 2008 to current 15 employees. Invented new products and brought them to maturity.
    - Reported directly to top management and clients.
    - Developed industrial property portfolio for platform (3 patents, 1 article).

  • ESPCI - Laboratoire Colloïdes et Matériaux Divisés - Post-doctorant

    2007 - 2008 - Obtained own funding for post-doctoral fellowship La Marie de la Ville de Paris.
    - Microfluidics: development of new microfluidic techniques for the synthesis of new functional materials and their industrial scale-up.
    - Millifluidics: development of new fluidic-based process for the making of millimeter sized core-shell structures using biocompatible and biodegradable materials (2 patents, 1 article).

  • Melbourne University - Post-doctorant

    2006 - 2006 - Studied cracking phenomena in thin composite films to be used as membranes in fuel cells. Improved formulation and process to reduce/remove this cracking phenomenon. (1 article)

  • Harvard University - Post-doctorant

    2006 - 2007 - Obtained own funding for post-doctoral fellowship from La Fondation pour la Recherche Médicale by preparing and presenting a scientific project.
    - Microfluidics: development of new techniques and processes for the synthesis of new functional materials: focused on the synthesis of colloidal particles with functional surfaces for biotechnologies. (2 patents)

  • Université Joseph Fourier - Grenoble 1 - Graduate Student

    2001 - 2005 - Studied the effects of microstructure of molten polymers on their stability during the extrusion process. (4 articles)
    - Developed a capillary rheometer allowing for in-situ SAXS measurements inside the die: defined experimental needs, dimensioned the apparatus, calibrated and defined its experimental protocols. Project done in collaboration with ID02 of European Synchrotron Radiation Facility.
    - Characterization of polymers at rest and under flow by rheometry, differential scanning calorimetry, size exclusion chromatography, dynamic and static light scattering.
