About Me

I am a French Ph. D. and electrical engineer currently working for Sonceboz SA. I'm based inside their innovation cell ideally located inside the EPFL (CH) campus, with the aim to find and investigate new markets of interest. It's a fantastic opportunity to keep a foot in academia, while working for the industry ; I'm enjoying the best of both worlds! On the technical side, I use my multi-physics knowledge to design new motorised systems for various applications, ranging from high-speed low-torque (e.g. ventilation) to low-speed high-torque (e.g. exoskeleton, actuators).

After completing my M.Sc. from NTNU (NO) and M.Eng. from Grenoble INP ENSE3 (FR) in 2011, I became fascinated by electric machines. I contacted the GREAH laboratory (FR) that made me work for a few months on thermal analysis of axial flux machines, before starting my PhD studies regarding noise and vibrations of electric machines (radial and axial). That’s where I learnt about machine design and simulation. I graduated in 2014 and joined the Sonceboz group, first at MMT (FR) and then quickly at i3 (CH), the innovation cell located at the EPFL. Throughout the years, I gained knowledge about the industry, fast-prototyping, machine learning, pumps and compressors (volumetric and dynamic), gear trains, bearings, sensors and power electronics.
