What were you doing before joining GE?

I worked three years as a PhD student and research engineer for Snecma, SAFRAN Group. I was in charge of designing a passive control system to dampen vibration and flutter phenomena on Fan and blisk blades thanks to piezoelectric elements.

Why did you decide to join GE?

I am highly interested in high-technology research and GE is one of these companies, which invest massively on Research and Development programs. Moreover GE is a international company, which valorizes technical career path.

What are you working on?

I am currently doing my third rotation of the EEDP program in the Global Research Center of Munich in Germany. My project consists on evaluating the performance by CFD of the aerodynamic design of centrifugal compressor, which presents high pressure ratios and improves operational mass flow range by flow control.

What has been most rewarding about your GE experience?

Thanks to the Edison program, I have the opportunity to realize rotations in different locations, which are really interesting and complete my profile. My PhD was on a subject, which was mixing mechanics, aerodynamics, material, electronics, control law...and I still love discovering new fields and studying multiphysics phenomena. Now I am doing my last rotation in the GRC. It concentrates the research of all the other GE sites and gathers all kinds of expertise and domains of applications.
