About
I am a Scientist at LMIS-2, conducting research and teaching in microfabrication, microfluidic and microreactors for nanomaterials chemical synthesis. I always focused on Good Laboratory Practices for occupational, environmental health & safety for labs and co-researchers. Recently, my objective is to leverage my expertise in the digital transformation of research labs for better project & time management, increasing output and diminishing chemical waste and energy consumption. In my scientific journey, I lead teams to managed academic & defense projects related to "fibre reinforced composites" "glasses & nanoceramics" "nanomaterials" "microfabrication" "microreactor based synthesis" "nanoreplication of glass microstructures" "Upconversion Nanoparticles UCNP for security and bio-inks".Honours & Awards
