PhD in industrial chemistry, I worked on the development of sustainable bioplasticizers from vegetable oil and on the optimization of biodiesel production. Since 2017, I have been working at Polytechnique Montréal on new catalysts for the partial oxidation of methane to syngas, and the subsequent Fischer-Tropsch reaction for the synthesis of fuels. Since November 2021, I have been a Professor at the University of Sherbrooke. My research focuses on the optimization of small, medium and large-scale processes for the production of turquoise hydrogen by pyrolysis of methane, natural gas and residual materials. With a strong experience in catalysis and modeling, I aim to further develop a multi-scale catalytic process modeling (molecular, macromolecular, fluidodynamic, process simulation). Another area of research is the use of glycerol (crude) for the production of diols (and other molecules with high added value for a green and circular economy).

I am Vice-Chair of the Energy Division of the Canadian Institute of Chemistry, Associate Editor for the journals Processes (MDPI) and IET Renewable Power Generation (IET).

Author of the 2 applications for inventions, several scientific articles and conference participations, I teach industrial chemical processes, organic chemistry and, as of 2024, reaction systems at the University of Sherbrooke.
