Romain started his career in academia where he acquired a large amount of experience in the fields of optics, electronics and quantum technologies, with notable experiences in France, Sweden, Switzerland and Ireland.
In 2017, he obtained a PhD from Sorbonne University in Paris proving expertise in laser technologies and electronics. He then worked as a scientist in a competitive research group in EPFL in Switzerland where he lead various scientific projects through international collaborations focusing on Photonics and Quantum measurements.
