Ph.D. : Chimie des matériaux
Occupation : Ingénieur R&D Chimie at Thethys Instruments
"I obtained a master in inorganic chemistry option: molecules, surfaces and nanoobjects at the University of Paris Saclay in 2016. Then, I continued my thesis at the University of Strasbourg at ICPEES in the Photocatalysis and Photoconversion team. My thesis work mainly focused on synthesizing nanomaterials based on titanium dioxide to integrate them as an active layer of a chemical microsensor. The resulting devices were eventually tested and optimized for the detection of chemical warfare agents such as Sarin. After my thesis, I wanted to do applied research in a company, which is why I applied to Tethys Instruments as an R&D engineer. Tethys is a company that manufactures and markets sensors, gas analyzers and water analyzers. My job is to design new analyzers on assisted design software to meet the demands of our customers. This design phase includes all the steps necessary for the creation of a new product, i.e. the design and conception of the prototype, the laboratory tests of physicochemical parameters measurements according to the specifications, and the writing of test reports and commercial documents."
