I hold a B.Sc. in Genetics and a Ph.D. in Chemistry. I have worked as a researcher in the field of Fluorescence Spectroscopy for more than a decade. I have published eleven scientific articles in this field, including an invited review on Fluorescence Correlation Spectroscopy. I am proficient in the statistical analysis of data using dedicated software (MatLab, SigmaPlot, etc.). I have good numerical skills. I have worked with mathematical models and I have modified them. I have extensive experience in the writing of technical reports and scientific articles. Ten years of interactions with top researchers have honed my presentation and communication skills. I am hard-working and able to work both independently and as part of a team. I have good time-management skills and I seldom lose a day of work. I am courteous and able to speak and write in a clear and concise manner. I can prioritise tasks. I can work to tight deadlines. I do not mind working beyond normal hours.
