Lower secondary school teacher in Mathematics, Physic, Chemistry and technology. -An alternative education to pupils having difficulties in the 'normal' curriculum. -Motivate and encourage pupils in believing in their own capacities and grow in their own personality. -Adapt to the specific needs of pupils. -The teacher is also an educator (lunch and activities with children). -Imply families in the education project. -Training: Multiple intelligence, hyperactive children, Nuyts teaching method.

Live in problematic suburbs to carry out educative, social and cultural actions. Creating interpersonal bonds and solidarity with immigrant families and drug traffickers to facilitate their integration and assist transition to mainstream profession: Literacy support for adults and homework support for children. Activities and logistics facilitator (camp preparation). Intercultural facilitator through introduction of French culture. Assisted with daily life in the administrative field.

Development of molecular-MRI imaging markers for diagnosis and monitoring of cancer and brain disease. Participated in the creation of laboratory and installation of the machines. Assisted in experimental protocol to detect cancer: -Oxygen fluid circulation system. -Injection system of marker molecules into NMR tubes. Characterization of tumorous tissue by determining the kinetics. Working on the rats as an animal model. Training and teaching of NMR spectroscopy to Biology master & PhD students.

Research to understand links between chemical phenomena in prostatic fluid and prostate physiology, namely cancer. Chemical recomposition of the prostatic fluid corresponding to the tumoral evolution. Expression of Prostate Specific Antigen in E. Coli bacteria. Simulating molecules NMR signals for data analysis. MRS measurements to determine the NMR relaxation of the molecules depending on the chemical composition related the physiological state of prostate.

Establishing the links between 'fatty acid-albumin' and 'metabolites-albumin' interactions. Invention of a new method for measuring the concentration of proteins in fluids. Illustration of how to measure 'free' and 'bound' molecules in the blood plasma. Training in research tools: Academic Writing, BNRA (advanced course in NMR spectrometry), PhD NMR in vivo, Chemometrics, International Summer School of Biophysics. Teaching spectroscopic methods to BSc students and trainee tutor.

Student-worker during studies, self-financed undergraduate expenses: Staff for Rugby matches - Double Impacts Sécurité. Kitchen clerk - Restaurant Le Grand Rideau & Restaurant La Braisière Staff pre university studies - Lycée Saliège. Logistics - VCJ Trading & Co. LTD.

a)Our studies were performed to understand how fatty acids influence the binding, thus the transport, of small molecules by albumin. b)We showed how, using protein-induced bulk magnetic susceptibility, the total protein concentration in blood plasma can be measured.
