PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCES
Postdoc, 03/2022 – Actual
Karlsruhe Institute of Technology, Germany – CDD
Project: Circular FoodPack
I am working on the Circular FoodPack project. I have synthesized several nano and micro luminescent materials via different techniques. Complete structural and optical characterizations have been performed for these materials. The objective of this project is to produce a unique label based on the studied luminescent materials. In the meantime, some of as-prepared vanadate samples have been delivered for printing application and molybdate materials for primary thermometer application.
Scientific papers in progress: Seven papers, four of which I am the first author. Cotutelle Thesis, 06/2018 – 06/2021
