Senior Researcher

Global Health Engineering, ETH Zürich

Lead the biogas-sensing project and a team of research assistants developing low-cost biogas flow and composition sensors.

• Lead the low-cost biogas flow & composition sensing project (patent pending)
• Supervised around fifty BSc/MSc theses in mechanical engineering and thermodynamics
• Introduced a group policy to publish hardware theses under a permissive CC-BY licence
• Designed and equipped two mechanical workshops and a biological laboratory
• Secured funding for biogas technology development in sub-Saharan Africa

Postdoctoral Researcher

Idiap Research Institute

Worked with the speech-recognition team under the EU-funded ROXANNE programme, developing and integrating automatic speech-recognition models for a platform used by criminal investigators at Interpol.

• Trained multilingual speech-recognition models
• Developed online speech-recognition engines and delivered solutions to commercial clients

Marie Skłodowska-Curie Early Stage Researcher

CEA Grenoble

Developed equations of state for mixtures of cryogenic fluids. Established accurate models for noble-gas mixtures through non-linear fitting followed by experimental confirmation, and extended the work to a helium–nitrogen equation of state for industry.

• Reference equations of state for helium, neon and argon mixtures
• Combined non-linear optimization with experimental validation

Visiting Scholar

Air Liquide Advanced Technologies

Developed the helium–nitrogen equation of state used for the process-cycle design of a Brayton-cycle refrigerator within the EASITrain H2020 programme.

Visiting Scholar

National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST)

In the Thermophysical Properties of Fluids Group, collected and analysed data for equations of state of cryogenic helium, neon and argon mixtures, and assessed the feasibility of equations of state for quantum mixtures.

Mechanical Engineer

Technische Universität Dresden

Worked on the Cryogenic Moderator System for the European Spallation Source (ESS): thermal calculations, equipment procurement, control-system design, and factory-acceptance-test planning for the complete cryostat and its liquid-hydrogen pumps, focusing on redundant pressure control under variable neutron load (APEX safety standards).

Research Intern, then Research Engineer

CEA Grenoble

Studied magnetic refrigeration for the FCC-ee. Produced a feasibility study of kW-range superfluid-helium refrigeration down to 1.6 K for high-field superconducting RF cavities, and the conceptual design of a laboratory-scale prototype.
