Info
System Engineer at Celestia-STS in the Netherlands. Currently defining and developing communication systems for space to ground and ground to space laser optical communications. The systems are developed according to the CCSDS and SDA standards. I also do business development seeking opportunities through conferences, forums and B2B events.
Previously I've worked as a space systems engineer, developing cubesat payloads. I've overseen technical development and I've acted as head of the mechanical team responsible for cubesat payload mechanical designs. I have experience with AIT management, and writing and executing AIT procedures. I was the industrial director of a PhD student researching system engineering.
I was among the 1.400 astronaut candidates to be invited to the first round of testing during the 2021 ESA astronaut selection. There were around 23.000 applicants.
With two years of leadership experience from my military service, I am focused and well organized and accustomed to resolving challenges and working in and leading teams.
For my PhD in optoelectronics I developed several numerical models using Matlab. I have built and executed several metrological experiments and I am familiar with lab environments. In addition to my research, I taught numerical electronics such as VHDL and Microprocessor classes for the 2nd year engineering students and international master students at the INP - ENSEEIHT.
During my PhD I accumulated several awards and I was nominated to the Best PhD of the Toulouse INP.
I am passionate about aerospace and aeronautic technology and wish to continue to develop my competences in these fields. I learnt to speak French fluently in under a year. Today I speak fluent English, French and Norwegian, and I have an intermediate level of Spanish.

Experimental demonstration of the impact of the fringe shape in sub-lambda/2 sensing with optical feedback interferometry
Applied Optics
It is established in the optical feedback interferometry (OFI) theory that the shape of the interferometric fringe has an impact on the detector’s response to very small displacement measurements. In this paper, we validate—for the first time, to the best of our knowledge, based on experimental results—this statement by comparing experiments to an established model implementation. Through these experiments, we show that the amplitude of the signals induced by sub-𝜆/2 optical path variations is…
It is established in the optical feedback interferometry (OFI) theory that the shape of the interferometric fringe has an impact on the detector’s response to very small displacement measurements. In this paper, we validate—for the first time, to the best of our knowledge, based on experimental results—this statement by comparing experiments to an established model implementation. Through these experiments, we show that the amplitude of the signals induced by sub-𝜆/2 optical path variations is linearly dependent on the slope of the underlying fringe. Thus, careful control of the phase allows us to maximize the detection amplitude of very small displacements by positioning the phase where the fringe slope is the steepest. These results are directly applicable to established OFI applications that measure sub-𝜆/2 optical path variations, such as OFI vibrometers or acoustic imaging though the acousto-optic effect.

Lower detection limit of the acousto-optic effect using Optical Feedback Interferometry
2020 IEEE International Instrumentation and Measurement Technology Conference (I2MTC)
Measurement and 3D imaging of acoustic waves through the acousto-optic effect has recently been demonstrated by means of Optical Feedback Interferometry (OFI). In this paper we study experimentally the lower limits of detection of an acoustic wave using an OFI sensor. We show that the OFI sensor exhibits a linear response to acoustic power variations, and we obtain a lower limit of detection of 83 dB rms for a planar acoustic wave at 3 kHz. We also determine the equivalent displacement, that is…
Measurement and 3D imaging of acoustic waves through the acousto-optic effect has recently been demonstrated by means of Optical Feedback Interferometry (OFI). In this paper we study experimentally the lower limits of detection of an acoustic wave using an OFI sensor. We show that the OFI sensor exhibits a linear response to acoustic power variations, and we obtain a lower limit of detection of 83 dB rms for a planar acoustic wave at 3 kHz. We also determine the equivalent displacement, that is seen by the OFI sensor at this pressure level, to be 96 pm. A deeper understanding of the limits of the technology and the quantification of the acousto-optic effect shall help improve the applications already created for the measurement of acoustic pressure waves using OFI.
