Biography:

I have always been passionate about composite, as a kayaker, I made my boats and paddles. After 3 years in sports, I changed into technique and more particularly composite. I studied high-performance materials and composite processes. Creative, innovative, or ingenious always have words that are associated with me because where there are problems there are solutions to be found. At DUQUEINE, I worked in project management, method manager and for the past 5 years in R&D. I developed the lightest F1 driver protection system (Stand 21) in the world, participated in the industrialization of the A350 window frames, fuselage frame and the ALPINE full carbon wheel… For the past 2 years I have been the R&D director of DUQUEINE, and our work is focused on the manufacture of the composite of the future (technology, industrialization...) The developments in the composites sector are pushing me to think about the technological solutions of tomorro
