I have a Master's degree in Industrial Engineering Sciences from "Haute Ecole de la Province de Liège" (Belgium). My current job at LIST is to set up tests to evaluate bactericidal, virucidal, antifungal and/or antifouling properties of materials, compounds or microorganisms(masks, surface,..). I also contribute to research projects related to environmental microbiology (CORONASTEP, VIRALERT,...)
In 2004, I joined Luxembourg Institute of Sciences and Technology, where I have been directly involved in multiple research projects on water quality monitoring. I performed microbiological and physic-chemical analyses on surface waters according to standard protocols. Part of my work was also dedicated to the daily laboratory management. In this role, I further honed my abilities in microbiology methods over the years and my work has been specialized in the development of methods to concentrate and detect waterborne pathogens. These last years, my work has been more focused on the development of tests to evaluate bactericidal, virucidal, antifungal and/or antifouling properties of materials, compounds or microorganisms. This expertise allowed me to contribute to several key projects on antimicrobial products development.
