I'm working since 2001 in R&D for Thomson, in Germany, as physics engineer for optical storage laboratory.
With a good technical background acquired in a reasearch environment, I would like to enhance my career by orienting my experience in a development area. Then I will use my technical skills, managing to have a large vision of a product creation process. I have a good overall analysis capacity which allows me to understand the encountered problems in their globality. This led me for example to patent some key points on the projects I worked for. I'm also used to present my work internally or externally to our partners.
I like the international environment, and finished my studies in Montreal, travelled in Africa for my first job, and use currently german as well as english in my every day work. I learned Russian as first foreign language during my studies in France, and have a basic knowledge of Spanish (my wife's mother language).
