I am a bioengineer specializing in microbiology, molecular biology, and plant pathology and a father of two kids. I have a strong research experience in my preferred fields, first as a young researcher on two projects, then during the completion of a thesis, and finally during a post-doctoral fellowship. In the meantime, I also had the opportunity to broaden my professional horizons by managing a small team within a non-profit organization active in the agricultural sector (service for professional and private customers). Subsequently, my position at the Faculty of Bioengineering (UCLouvain) allowed me to develop skills in teaching (biochemistry and plant pathology) and teamwork. At the same time, I did a thesis on the molecular interactions between a plant virus, its vector, and the sugar beet. Finally, the realization of a master's degree in management (shift schedule) gave me the opportunity to expand my portfolio of skills, in connection with business management, marketing, finance, etc. This allowed me to carry out very enriching projects with people from various professional backgrounds. Being a team player, quality-minded, and eager to learn, I would like to join a company active in the field of biotechnology, for a new and stimulating experience.
