Education
Master's degree, Mechatronic at École Normale Supérieure de Cachan (ENS)
2009
The training for future engineers in the Mechatronics department aims at an interdisciplinary approach to phenomena and concepts essential for understanding the scientific and technological challenges of tomorrow, in particular with the objective of a sustainable society.
This training is based on a master's degree in mechatronics, in partnership with the University of Rennes 1, and on a master's degree in Complex Systems Engineering preparing for the aggregation of industrial engineering sciences (option Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering or Engineering mechanical).
By nature multidisciplinary, mechatronics is based on a varied education, which offers:

By nature multidisciplinary, mechatronics is based on a varied education, which offers:
- a master's degree in physical sciences and associated scientific disciplines
- good knowledge of advanced technologies
- a real practice of integrated design approaches
Research Master's degree, Fluid Mechanics at Ecole Centrale de Nantes (ECN)
2009
This Master develops skills for designing and optimizing innovative propulsion plants with a focus on thermofluid processes and energy conversion for research and industry.
Internal Combustion Engine and turbojet performance and efficiency are influenced by various processes including gas flow, compression and expansion through turbomachines or reciprocating piston, fuel injection and combustion, energy conversion and heat transfer.
Therefore the curriculum offered in this program will provide an emphasis on all these processes and how they interact.

Colleagues Recommendations
Working as a Project Director at MATIS Technologies during 2015, I had the chance to manage Pierre as a project manager. A major customer asked us to assist him during a change management process. We were challenged to transform a technical assistance (time pricing) to a commitment to results activity (workpackage pricing) of a 45 multi-project engineers team, in one year. To be able to achieve this challenge, I made use of the services of Mr. Pierre to whom I entrusted this large-scale project as project manager. It was a success. The qualities highlighted by Pierre in order to carry out this project were:
- Active listening of project stakeholders (executive management, employees and customers) in order to rhythm the milestones, and integrate each actor in the process at the right time.
- A daily determination which allowed him to quickly find a profitable autonomy.
- A practical and rational sense, which added to his skills tools (PMO methodology, KPI follow-up, etc.), brought him a necessary efficiency.
- A technical engineer culture and a curiosity for new technologies which were useful to understand all issues and challenges.
- A rigor and a communication ability, that helped him to make all stakeholders understand the goals and the projects components in order to achieve the project.

I got to know Pierre when he joined the team I was in charge (Non-conformities and repairs analysis for landing gear parts). I could appreciate his dedicated work and rigorous technical skills : Pierre showed very good results, dealing with short time and high technical level. Later, Pierre showed very good organisational skills and new technologies interest, which allowed him to propose and lead very profitable solutions. Pierre is a team player and catalyses the good practices. Very helpful and professional.

Pierre is a reliable, autonomous and efficient team member. Pierre knows how to lead any type of project and complex program. To meet the various challenges (users, business, IT), he can rely on his management skills, his clarity, insight and spirit of synthesis.
I would add that Pierre tries as much as possible to industrialize his tools and work environment, allowing him to focus on value-added actions (also profitable for his colleagues). His calm attitude and perspective make him a real asset in any organization as well as in a crisis situation. Evolving alongside him as part of a scaled Agile transformation program based on the SAFe framework is a continuous learning experience.
