Nuclear Materials Science - Projects at Paul Scherrer Institut

About

Nuclear Materials Science is materials science AND irradiation effects - interesting! I have been driving projects with partners worldwide in academia and industry, Since my studies in France and collaborating with French customers, I like very much cooperating with French. Getting involved in scientific advisory committees in France has been a great experience. I had the chance to spend a short period at ORNL, in Tennessee. My family joined me, and the stay made us fans of the Southern States. Several years in industry, partially in sales, has shaped my perception of scientific projects organization.
