Profile

I have worked in several companies and I have seen different means of plastic moulding. With a general scientific training acquired at the University and technical skills on plastic moulding, I can adapt to many problems concerning production or research and development in order to solve them. Moreover, I am actively interested in the application of computer technology.

I am able to set a machine (injection press, extruder), to carry out a lot of tests in laboratory (non-destructive testing methods, tensile tests, chemical tests…), draw up a report and write advanced software.

 

Education

Baccalauréat E

1991

This examination is the equivalent to British ‘A’ Levels with special emphasis in Maths & Technology.

University of Nantes

1991-1993

DUT - Diploma gained after two-year study in materials (plastics, composites, steel…) at the Nantes Polytechnics.

University of Metz

1993-1994

Complementary year for further study of composite materials.

I.S.P.A. (Plastic Institute)

1995-1998

Studying for an engineering degree in plastics processing at I.S.P.A. (Leading French Institute of Alençon in Plastic Processes).

At the moment in last year.

 

Professional Training

1993

2 months in the Nantes Office Commerce and Industry with the objective of meeting people from materials industry (plastics, composites, steel…) to ascertain how they chose a particular material for a new component. Subsequently I wrote a report defining these methodologies.

1994

4 months in DCN (French military shipbuilding), working on the composite materials section for the EUCLID project (European Co-operation for the Long time In Defence). I was personally involved in building a sandwich panel and carrying out mechanical and physico-chemical tests.

1996

1 month in TdP (plastic factory – subsidiary of Sermo Industries, the leading mould-maker in France). By using their own specialist equipment, they are able to refine machines and moulds to match customers’ specific requirements, by carrying out a pre-production run. After two weeks as a machine operator, I was asked by the Production Manager to prepare an efficiency report on the waste of time during mould changing process.

1996

Numerous weekends integrated in working teams as an operator in the companies Appli’Plast and Alençon Plastic (injection mainly for subcontracting).

1997

Frequent weekends integrated in working teams as a production line supervising agent at MPO (injection manufacturing compact discs, CD-ROM and videodiscs).

1997

5 months in BP Chemicals Lavéra (France) studying the blown film fabrication. Firstly, I found a correlation between an industrial extruder and a laboratory extruder thanks to an analysis of the optical and mechanical properties. The polymers selected for this study were two BP LLDPE. Secondly, I adjusted parameters for a new dual lip air ring trying to find the same properties as the ones found for the old air ring.
