About

With an academic background in chemistry (French engineering school ENSCL), and in material science (PhD on tribocorrosion of stainless steels at INSA Lyon in a partnership with APERAM). I worked 4 years at the Vallourec Research Center France (VRCF) as R&D H2S corrosion engineer for OCTG products. Now I am currently working at Pandrol in Under Ballast Mats (UBM) and Under Sleeper Pads (USP) for ballasted tracks. R&D in materials has always been my work area. Each step of my professional career has brought me experience in technical fields such as surface characterisation, corrosion testing (NACE TM0177 standard) and data analysis (green belt six sigma). My dynamism, my communication skills as well as my open mind for innovation, are acknowledged by my co-workers.
