Co-founder and CEO of Soleva, a non-profit demonstration project co-founded by young professionals to promote sustainable travel and renewable energies. It has the goal to build a demonstrator prototype of an old camper converted to an electric vehicle that is 100% self-solar powered. It is a unique example of a circular economy and sustainability approach in the automotive travel sector while reaching the ultimate freedom of travelling.I supervise all the team's activities, set up the long term strategy and timeline, and manage communications and sponsorship relations. We conceive, design and build the demonstrator internally with in-depth knowledge of electric vehicles, solar photovoltaic integration and electric components.

As part of the Photovoltaics sector of CSEM, I was involved in the R&D team working on IBC-SHJ photovoltaic solar cells. My main duties were the improvement of the PECVD process for the deposition of microcrystalline silicon layers and the fabrication of solar cells. Using Raman Spectroscopy and cell effiency diagnostics (IV, EQE, Photo-luminescence), I performed a statistical analysis on a large number of samples.
