Dr. Lucas-Alexandre Stern

o Development of novel coatings for robotic and watchmaking components, successfully secured an order of 3000 pieces a year for industrial processing of robotic components o Managed a project with an important client liaising both with our internal technicians and client’s project manager to drive forward novel PVD coatings on medical tools. o Using UV-LIGA process, thousands of watches’ pieces were prepared in microelectroforming units

- Designed and conceived a water electrolyser using the developed nanomaterial as single catalyst for the dual processes - Determined the unique core/shell heterostructure and the chemical composition of the product by means of electron microscopy and elemental analysis (HRTEM, STEM-EDX) - Results: robust product with 75% electrical efficiency, scientific breakthrough in energy research, outstanding publication record with over 500 citations

o Performed electrochemical experiments (electrolysis, polarization experiments) for energy conversion o Data analysis and characterization of the catalysts of interests with X-ray diffraction and spectroscopy techniques

o Established a schedule for the implementation of experiments given resources requirement of each processes o Conducted experiments in genes extraction and amplification of olfactory proteins o Maintained cellular resources by cell culture and passaging o Analysis of protein binding by means of purification, vesicle fabrication, reconstitution and binding assays
