About Me
Study, Research and Development Engineer (Pau/Toulouse). I have a scientific culture relatively diversified, mainly focused on applied mathematics/physics; I keep moving in discovering and learning every day.

During my training as geophysicist @EOST (Strasbourg, 2018), I mainly specialized in geophysical data analysis and processing as well as in scientific programming. Furthermore, my final-year internship in R&D completed @CLS Group (Toulouse) and my research experiences (@EOST/@IPGS, @DIAS) allowed me to confirm my aspiration and my passion to oceanography, geophysics and applied sciences broadly speaking. In addition, I was able to learn the values ​​of work at VIVIRAD S.A. which involve daily conviviality and commitment to customers and collaborators.

One of my professional vocation will be to collaborate with specialists and in teams; indeed, my mid-term career goal is to work on R&D projects which would have a global reach. My ASTYPIC consultant Julien DAVADANT will help me to reach my personal and professional goals.
