Innovative synthetic seeds research project

High-throughput functional analysis of soil microorganisms for agriculture. Evaluation of the metabolic activity and phosphorus-dissolving ability of soil microbes in millifluidic droplets, based on a variety of optical outputs. Designed experiments related to: o Microbiology – soil microbiota cultivation o Formulation, colloids – granulometry, dynamic light scattering, zeta potential o Optics (fluorometry, light scattering) –Monitoring of metabolic activity in droplets based on fluorescent probes and colloidal suspension of minerals o Droplet millifluidics (segmented flow) and microfluidics o Directed evolution Conducted and wrote programs for advanced data analysis: o Automatic curve fitting (Python, Pandas) over >20 000 curves o Handled and managed the architecture of a database of >2 million lines o Plotting of complex scientific data using plotly Inventor of a European patent (pending) Conducted scientific reviews on research topics such as phosphorus in agriculture Supervised two Master students

Part of a team in charge of finding alternatives to traditional paper media. Many interactions with researchers in management science and design theories.

- Functional analysis (reach, cost per view…) of existing media and of the underlying organization of promotional communication at Carrefour

- Proposition of innovative replacement solutions partially based on existing recommendation algorithms

- Made a promising prototype (MVP) that gathered data on customers' acceptance of the new media: estimating a potential reach, rate of reading and relevance Some key elements:

- Lean Startup

- C-K theory

- design theories

- fast prototyping
