About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Finish my studies and then well... let's see what happens

ABOUT ME

I'm a student from France now doing a PhD in Zurich. I studied materials science in Lausanne, Switzerland. I also studied one year in Waterloo, Ontario and in Berkeley for my Master's thesis.

I would say that i am thirsty of knowledge and other people experience! And i like to share things around a good beer or a good coffee! Sounds good?

PHILOSOPHY

"You see things; and you say "Why?" But I dream things that never were; and I say "Why not?"

George Bernard Shaw

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

My exchange year in Canada was truly an amazing experience! Mainly because it changed me in many (good I hope) ways, gave me a taste for adventure, and because I have met many great people that are very important to me!

Also, looking at the sun rising over the Alps after a night camping outside. Those few minutes in the calm, fresh morning watching the warm light slowly coming to you are priceless.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can tell you a lot about beer :p
