  • Nanolike - Ingénieur R&D adjoint

    TOULOUSE 2015 - 2015 ■ About Nanolike:
    Nanolike is an innovative company specialized in the development and manufacturing of nanoparticle-based devices, notably active areas of high performance Nanosensors and nanoparticle-based security solutions (Nanoproof®).

    Website: http://www.nanolike.com

    ■ Missions:
    I worked on the industrialization of the Nanoproof® technology, a new product not yet under production at the time of my arrival.

    Nanoproof® is an anti-counterfeiting technology made by a controlled assembly of luminescent nanoparticles. My main missions were:

    - Setting up the production line
    - Adapting the production methods (industrial constraints)
    - Producing and testing the first devices

    ■ Technical skills:
    - Production scale up of nanoparticle-based devices
    - Matching of cost and volume requirements
    - Thin film deposition (spin-coating) and handling
    - Nanoparticles assembly

    ■ Human skills:
    - Industrial environment
    - Relationships with outside contractors
    - With researchers (technology transfer)
  • Duke University - Research Assistant

    2014 - 2014 I joined back Jeffrey Glass's lab group, the Nanomaterials and Thin Films Lab (NTFL) at Duke University.

    ■ About the Nanomaterials and Thin Films Lab:

    The NTFL, under the leadership of Professor Jeff Glass, investigates the possibilities offered by nanomaterials, applying electrical, optics, materials, and electrochemical engineering expertise. The team investigates various application areas, including: Liquid waste disinfection for the developing world; Photoelectrochemical water-splitting; Supercapacitors; Advanced materials for neural stimulation.


    ■ Missions:

    I investigated material properties and applications of carbon based nanomaterials, including:

    - Characterization of carbon nanotube (CNT) films modified through Atomic Layer Deposition (ALD) growth for capacitive energy storage applications.
    - Development of CNT electrodes for deep brain stimulation.
    - Electrochemical measurement of electron transfer kinetics at different CNT structures. This work led to the writing and publishing of a scientific paper (see Publications below).


    ■ Technical skills:

    - Electrochemical characterization: investigation of nanomaterial-based electrodes for: capacitive energy storage (supercapacitors), deep brain stimulation, catalysis.
    - Characterization of nanomaterials.
    - Safety awareness.
    - Writing of a scientific article.


    ■ Human skills:

    - Intercultural environment.
    - Teamwork.
    - Presentation of experimental results at biweekly meetings.
    - Communication with and presentation to representatives from outside institutions.
    - Curiosity and initiative; autonomy.
  • CEA-Grenoble (France) - Research Engineer Assistant

    PARIS 2013 - 2014 ■ About the Commissariat à l'énergie atomique et aux énergies alternatives (CEA):

    The Commissariat à l'énergie atomique et aux énergies alternatives (English: Atomic Energy and Alternative Energies Commission) or CEA, is a French public research organisation in the areas of energy, defense and security, information technologies and health technologies. It is a prominent player in the European Research Area, involved in setting up collaborative projects with many partners around the world.

    The CEA has a cross-disciplinary culture of engineers and researchers, building on the synergies between fundamental and technological research.


    ■ Missions:

    At CEA-Grenoble, I studied the aging of proton exchange membrane fuel cells (PEMFCs) using transmission electron microscopy (TEM), with an emphasis on the Platinum-based catalyst nanoparticles.

    I also worked on linking electrochemical and materials characterization data in order to identify the aging mechanisms.

    In particular, I analyzed the structure and chemistry of Platinum-Ruthenium membrane precipitates in a fuel cell aged under reformate hydrogen. This work led to the writing and publishing of a scientific paper (see Publications below).

    Advisor: Dr. Laure Guétaz


    ■ Technical skills:

    - Characterization of nanomaterials. In particular: scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM).
    - Use of electrochemical data (testing of the fuel cells).
    - Writing of a scientific article.
    - Safety awareness.
    - Participation to the writing of a European scientific report.


    ■ Human skills:

    - Intercultural environment.
    - Teamwork.
    - Presentation of experimental results.
    - Initiative and autonomy.
