About François

Atmospheric chemist with over 10 years of experience, specializing in air quality and atmospheric physicochemical processes. Experienced in R&D, author of over 30 publications and 50 presentations, I have collaborated with renowned research institutions such as CNRS (France), Max Planck Institute (Germany), NOAA (USA), and the Chinese Academy of Sciences. My areas of expertise include project management, particularly in instrumental development using spectroscopic and mass spectrometry methods, data exploitation, and valorization. Expert in data analysis and recently in the development of predictive models, I offer my services to explore and predict pollution levels for industries and public authorities.
