I am a nuclear physicist and former engineering officer in the French Navy, with more than 10 years of international experience across nuclear science, advanced nuclear technologies, and engineering. I have worked with the European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN), the French Alternative Energies and Atomic Energy Commission (CEA), Brookhaven National Laboratory, and Stony Brook University, focusing on nuclear systems, radiation transport, and advanced reactor technologies. I am currently based in New York City, where I also provide strategic and technical advisory services through Stratomic Consulting.
