Ottawa, Canada Area

I work at the Office of Medical Cannabis with the public, inspectors, and private licensed producers of medical cannabis to ensure that cannadians are provided with uniform quality products produced using good modern processes and in compliance with the regulations set in place.

Toronto, Ontario, Canada

I ensure the smooth transfer of R&D projects to a GMP environment. Also, I develop, scale-up, and optimize processes for the synthesis of API. My expertise is in the design of continuous flow reactors and characterization of mixing and heat transfer therein.

Visp, Switzerland

Transfer of batch process into continuous flow for a liquid-liquid reactionSupervision of two laboratory techniciansCAD design, and physical and chemical evaluation of micro-reactors

Programmed the control of a bioreactor setup designed to accelerate the degradation of municipal waste through the automated control of the bio-related characteristics and recirculation of the produced leachate. Installed bioreactors, sensors and control equipments in a laboratory and municipal landfill environment.

Conducted an extensive analysis on the direct and indirect costs associated with the implementation of NOx and SOx control technologies as well as with restricted emissions area for the marine fleet of coming to Canada. Wrote reports on those costs compared with healthcare benefits associated with such technologies and laws.

Longueuil, Canada

Developed a database and functions that created reports on the energy consumption and the GHG emission of worldwide plants and offices. Suggested and conducted energy saving projects tailored for each location's consumption.

Realized a daily monitoring of the paper's quality and analyzed the different relationships between the process parameters and the produced paper. Conducted tests to minimize the disposal cost of the active sludge generated by the wastewater treatment plant.
