I obtained my technician certificate (organic chemistry) in 1990 at Firmenich (Perfume and flavor company).

I then followed different paths, first working in the food industry and then pharmaceuticals, and finally I worked for about 15 years in a research center of an American company based in Geneva (Battelle memorial institute), where I specialized in analytical chemistry research.

Since 2009 I worked as a technician at the University of Geneva at the department of inorganic and analytical chemistry.
