Over more than 20 years, I have accumulated extensive experience in the field of battery technologies and materials science. Since August 2018, I have been responsible for the preparation, monitoring, and management of European projects on battery technologies at EDF R&D. Notably, I led, from EDF, the European NAIMA project on Na-ion technologies from 2020 to 2023 and am currently leading, for EDF, the BATMAX European project on Battery Management using digital twins (2023-2026). 

In 2022, I published (as co-author) a paper in Nature Communications about “Tracing the origin of Li-ion in Li-ion Batteries”. 

Prior to this role, I worked as a Research Engineer in Polymers and Nanomaterials in the Materials and Mechanics of Components Department at EDF R&D, where I conducted research on innovative materials for nuclear engineering, and I supervised PhD students and interns. One of my key achievements was leading a project on nuclear waste conditioning in 2013.

Earlier in my career, I gained valuable experience at Saint Gobain Research SGR, where I worked on polymer-ceramic composites and fiberglass textile. 

I also worked before at the Research oil Industry of Venezuela, where I focused my research on the evaluation of polymers and nanocomposites for different oil applications.

Regarding my Education: I hold a PhD in Chemistry and Physico-Chemistry of Materials, specializing in Polymers, from “Ecole Supérieur de Physique et Chimie Industrielle” in Paris, France. Additionally, I have a Master of Science in Nanotechnology from the University of Twente in the Netherlands, a Master of Science in Polymer Materials Engineering from Universidad Simón Bolívar in Venezuela, and an Engineering Degree in Materials Science, specializing in Polymers, also from Universidad Simón Bolívar.
