About my activities...

• As an engineer of the technical staff of IPGP, I am currently in charge of two plasma-source mass-spectrometers - an high-resolution ICP-MS and an ICP-Time of Flight-MS - and a separation device - an asymetrical flow field flow fractionantion (AF4). 
• I am also the technical manager of the high-resolution analytical platform (http://www.ipgp.fr/en/pari-platform) which is built to answer fundamental scientific questions in the Earth, Environment and Universe Sciences.
• My research is mainly focused on the development of new methodologies for the detection, quantification and characterization of nanoparticles in environmental matrices (i.e. water, soils and organic materials) especially thanks to single-particle ICP-(ToF)-MS. Sample preparation as well as data examination are also addressed in my research activities allowing a more complete approach of the analytical procedure.
