Physical chemistry Calorimetry, X-ray diffraction, polarized light microscopy, rheometry, densimetry, and spectroscopy.
Acquired competences / analytical skills / combined techniques

Working in and managing projects jointly between public and private institutions with different cultural backgrounds and interests.
•Leading MSc. students through their thesis work incorporated in a bigger project.Writing project and grant proposals for experimental time on large scale facilities such as LURE, ELETTRA, ESRF and SOLEIL

•Interdisciplinary approach for the investigation of textural properties of foodstuff using complementary techniques such as other temperature/time resolved techniques such as microscopy, rheometry, NMR or densimetry.
Granting, Setup, Interpretation and accomplishment of time/temperature resolved experiments necessary for the understanding of product shelf life and influence of the temperature history on material properties.


Adaptation to different working environments such as different X-ray diffraction beam lines of 3 large scale facilities (ID02 and
•BM26 at ESRF, BL5.2 at ELETTRA, D22, D24 and D43 at LURE for over 100 days in total).
Setup, Interpretation and accomplishment of combined measurement techniques on laboratory bench scale and adaptation on scientific large scale instruments such as neutron or X-ray scattering facilities.

•Setup and assessment of rheological measurements within research contexts of complex fluids,
Assessment of the structure/texture relationship of crystallized lipids.

Assuming the maintenance of IT networking equipment.
•Programming and interfacing of temperature and time resolved experiments such as XRDT/DSC, Light Microscopy Rheology and
Densimetry resolution of seconds.
