Graduated from PHELMA engineer school, I continued with a CIFRE PhD thesis on X‑rays production by inverse Compton scattering on an electron accelerator. After eight years in industry working on particle accelerator design, I am currently working on the ELSA electron accelerator, which is a 19–30 MeV radio‑frequency linear accelerator devoted to produce X-rays for various applications. My main research activities are: particle accelerator technologies, radio frequency, particle beam physics, thin‑film deposition, electron/photon interactions and X‑ray sources.
