TECHNOLOGY AND INNOVATION STRATEGY

Over the long term, I would like to relish the

challenge of carrying on research in a fast moving
environment, in the field of unconventional
photovoltaics.

One week course, Mines ParisTech

2016

As an MSc student at ESPCI Paris, I am studying

chemical physics with a focus on hands-on skills.
I am seeking a 6-month internship about organic
or perovskite solar cells in an industrial research
environment. I am available starting 1st July
2017. I plan to follow up with a PhD in that realm,
starting September 2018.
