Mission
Voir la page en anglaisBiographie
Voir la page en anglaisElections du conseil
Dans le conseil de faculté depuis la création de la faculté STI (initialement corps intermédiaire, ensuite corps des enseignants), je me suis fortement engagé dans quelques dossiers comme celui des infrastructures (ateliers, informatique) et plus en général sur des sujets qui portent sur l'éducation et la structure de la faculté.Dans la nouvelle configuration avec le nouveau doyen, je désire continuer cet engagement afin que la STI puisse continuer a jouer son rôle de formation et de recherche dans les meilleures conditions possibles. Je tiens tout particulièrement au respect de chaque personne et de sa contribution, au soin du niveau d'éducation qu'on fourni ensemble, à un cadre bien défini et transparent pour la recherche et à une collaboration entre laboratoires, instituts et facultés.
