A passionate chemical petrochemical engineer with a master’s degree in composite materials, I also have experience in the supply chain of white products. I recently obtained my PhD from Nantes Université, where I conducted research on the modeling of the hygromechanical behavior of composites. Alongside my research activities, I am actively involved as a lecturer.
