As a French pupil, I prepared the competitive
exam entrance for the French „Grandes Ecoles“
and joined the ESPCI. The excellent reputation
of this school is not only due to the
5 associated Nobel prize winners as Pierre
Gilles de Gennes, the former school director
but also to its highly innovative and multidisciplinary
spirit. Researchers publish on
average one article per day in leading peerreviewed
international scientific journals and
file an average of one patent a week. Being
immersed in this outstanding environment I
decided to do research. As I am interested
in other cultures, I had the chance to make
an industrial internship of half a year in Japan
and learned a lot about non western culture.
After my engineer degree in physics and
chemistry (2006), I obtained a master degree
in the field of physics of liquids and soft
matter (2007), studying the confinement of
nanoparticles in surfactant films and achieving
the deposition of such films. I graduated
investigating in asymmetric drop collisions.
During the three and a half years of my PhD
studies, I worked both in Paris with Elise Lorenceau,
who supervised my research in the
laboratory of Michele Adler (LPMDI) focusing
on water interfaces coated by non colloidal
hydrophobic glass beads and in Graz at the
ISW of the TU Graz with Prof Brenn where
I studied immiscible liquids drop collisions. I
also had the chance to study capillary wave
propagation in Lyon with Anne-Laure Biance.
Based on my experimental results, we
could bring in new models for drop collisions
and coated interfaces leading to several
publications (8) in peer reviewed journals
and several communications in international
congresses as the ICMF 2010, where we
obtained the best paper prize.
In July 2011, I joined the RCPE where I
work on very interesting problems involving
complex fluids with polymers and particles.
More precisely, my goal is to understand the
29 FoRschERiN
properties of pastes and how the influence
of vraious processes on the structure and
properties of the layers they produce, once
deposited and cured. Beside my interest
for physicochemical challenges of today‘s,
I also give importance to certain personal
aspects of my life. I‘m actually the mother of
a 2-year old girl and I am very glad that within
3.5 years I could not only make a PhD with
fruitfull scientific outcomes but also become
a mother. I am more than happy to currently
carry out research in a very stimulating environment
without sacrificing my family. For
all those who understand French, parents
or not, I recommend to read „ les leçons de
Marie Curie“. This short book presents the
elementary lectures of Physics Marie Curie
was giving to some colleagues´ children and
to her own daughter Irene Joliot Curie, Nobel
prize winner as her mother...
