With a passion for transforming advanced materials into impactful products, I lead multidisciplinary teams to prototype and scale high-tech solutions. My journey spans over a decade across Canada and France, bridging deep technical expertise in polymer chemistry and nanotechnology with agile project management. From developing diagnostic tools leveraging Quantum Dots, I thrive at the frontier of science and product development. As Head of Encapsulation at Nexdot, I manage engineers, technicians, and PhD candidates to drive next-gen R&D forward—delivering results across major EU projects (EIC Pathfinder, Horizon 2020 CleanSky project) I bring hands-on experience in surface modification, bioconjugation, and advanced analytical techniques, backed by peer-reviewed publications and granted patents. I love building collaborative, agile teams and crafting visionary product roadmaps rooted in data and discovery. Always eager to tackle complex innovation challenges—whether in medtech, materials science, or advanced manufacturing.

Researching and synthesizing new polymeric membranes that are hydrophilic and temperature resistant; membranes used for the treatment of oil and gas waste water for offshore platforms.
Doctoral candidate as part of the IDS-FunMat program working to develop composite membrane materials that incorporate both inorganic (ceramic) and organic (polymers) materials for separation of gases. Focused on post-combustion gas from fossil fuels (or flue gas) application. Worked between the Université de Bordeaux at LCPO (Laboratoire de Chimie des Polymères Organiques) and the University of Waterloo (Chemical Engineering Department). Thesis title: "Towards designing composite membranes for CO2 Separation: The inclusion of hybrid TiO2-PEG structures and study of their interfaces" Defended: October 26th 2015
Cofounder of the only Canadian undergraduate nanorobotics group. Designed and fabricated a 500 micron soccer playing robot that competed and placed third in the Mobile Microrobotics Challenge organized by the National Institute of Standards and Technology in 2010 and place first in 2011.
