Formations complémentaires
PhD
Nanyang Technological University, Singapore - Sustainable Earth & Materials Science
2017 à 2022
During my Ph.D. in Sustainable Materials Science at NTU Singapore, I led research focused on developing smart, eco-friendly materials for biomedical and consumer applications. My work resulted in three provisional patents and six peer-reviewed publications, and directly contributed to product innovations in the footwear and medical device sectors. I collaborated with industry partners to translate research into commercial solutions, generating over $1M in client value, and mentored over 30 students in academic and project-based work. The experience honed my ability to manage cross-functional teams, drive applied innovation, and deliver measurable outcomes at the intersection of science and industry.
