Research Assistant (Mitacs)

I’m a final-year engineering student in biotechnology and chemistry at CY Tech in France, specializing in biomaterials for health. I am currently conducting a research internship at the MuBEST lab, working on two hydrogel-based projects for cartilage repair. One focuses on the mechanical reinforcement of hydrogels using an industrial additive. The other involves designing and fabricating fibrous scaffolds via 3D printing, and evaluating their reinforcement properties. In my free time, I enjoy playing handball (which I practice at a high level), baking pastries, and watching Formula 1.
