Thomas heads up the Process R&D Department, which develops NAWAH’s technological building blocks: carbon nanotube synthesis processes, material characterisation methods and new products for the composites sector. Creating value through useful innovation, talent synergy and collective intelligence are the principles that drive his work.

An engineer with a degree in Materials Science from INSA Toulouse and a PhD in the same discipline, research and development have been the guiding thread of the technical and management positions Thomas has held for over 15 years: in the USA at IBM’s T.J. Watson Research Centre in New York, in France at the CEA in Grenoble, then at Nexcis, a subsidiary of EDF, and finally at NAWAH since 2015.

Thomas speaks French, English and Italian.
