I hold a Master’s degree in Aeronautical Engineering from SUPAERO (Toulouse) the top French “grande ecole” for aeronautics. I have worked five years in the gas turbine industry, as an R&D engineer for Rolls-Royce. In 2008, my employer has seconded me to the University of Cambridge to follow a PhD course on Flow Physics. I am also a member of Rolls-Royce fast track leadership scheme.
