Work Experience

2017—	Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, Berkeley, CA - USA X-ray Optics research scientist I am designing and simulating the four feature beamlines of the upgrade of the Advanced Light Source, which will leverage the improved performances of the facility. Owing to the extereme precision of the optics, the specifications are extremely tight and require excellent collaboration with engineers and beamline scientists to deliver world-class synchrotron beamlines.
2017—	Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, Berkeley, CA - USA Advanced x-ray optics project scientist I'm working on ALS-U, the DLSR upgrade of the ALS, where the goal is to produce diffraction-limited soft X-ray beams by pushing physics to the extreme. My main role is to design and study wavefront sensors and adaptive optics for the x-ray range, through simulations and experiments, working hand-in-hand with all the scientists and engineers to solve the many challenges regarding vacuum environment, vibrations and manufacturing tolerances.
2012-2016	Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, Berkeley, CA - USA Postdoctoral fellow I've worked at the Center for X-Ray Optics, on x-ray microscopy within the SHARP EUV Microscope team, where we study nanometer scale defects on extreme-ultraviolet photo-masks,for customers such as Intel, IBM or Samsung. My main area of research novel imaging techniques and imaging processing based on illumination diversity, and metroology. I've also worked on the next generation microexposure tool (MET5), on prototyping, tolerancing and qualification of sub-elements, but also software architecture and stage controls.
2008-2012	Lab for Optics & Biosciences (Ecole Polytechnique - CNRS - INSERM), Palaiseau - France Ph.D. in Optics I've worked on terahertz radiations, in order to probe biologicial sample with far-infrared, ultra-short pulses, developping imaging techniques based on the manipulation of polarization and evanescent waves for the study of ion transport in neurons. My PhD dissertation is entitled "Polarization of terahertz waves in the subsingle-cycle regime and application to imaging in biology"
2008-2011	Université Paris-Sud, Orsay - France Assistant lecturer Teachings in Digital Signal Processing at graduate level (Polytech’Paris-Sud Opto-electronics division). Labclasses in Optics and DSP at Université Paris-Sud, and THz science experimental activities at École Polytechnique
2008	Thales Technology Center Singapore, Singapore Engineering intern I’ve worked on the design and the prototyping of a high-speed, free-space optical communication scheme for commercial use in aircrafts. The solution makes use of computer-generated holograms, fiber optics and advanced modulation schemes (OFDM).
2007	Valtionen Teknillinen Tutkimuskeskus (VTT) - Technological Center of Finland, Oulu - Finland Research intern I’ve worked on the nano-imprinting process of subwavelength anti-reflective structures, alongside with the determination of physical properties of thin-film solar cells (CIGS).
2006	smart S.A.S. France, Hambach - France. Regular worker I've worked as a regular worker on the assembly line, mainly mounting headlights on the 2-seated cars.
