Career path:

I graduated in 2007 from the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology (EPFL) (MSc in Environmental Sciences and Engineering), with a specialization in water, soils and ecosystems engineering. My master thesis focused on industrial ecology and its application through industrial symbiosis.

I worked then as a research associate at An¬tenna Technologies, a scientific NGO involved in the development of low-cost chlorinating devices for drinking water production and the R&D of other smart technologies adapted to developing countries.

In September 2008, I joined CIRAIG where I currently work on various LCA projects regarding recycling technologies in Quebec, hydroelectric production and oil-based products.
