Independent expert in advanced materials for defence and security. I support R&D proposals and TRL validation for dual-use composites (graphene, ceramics, polymers) in ballistic protection, EMI shielding, and infrastructure resilience. Proven experience in Horizon Europe, EDF, COINCIDENTE and NATO-linked initiatives. Focused on material innovation aligned with EU strategic autonomy and tech transfer.

About me

PhD in Engineering, specialist in nanotechnology and advanced materials (graphene, nanoceramics, polymers) for dual-use systems in defence, energy and mobility.

10+ years in TRL 3–6 R&D for ballistic protection, EMI shielding, antifouling coatings and thermoelectric concretes. Contributor to Horizon Europe, COINCIDENTE, Ports 4.0 and NATO STO.

Former evaluator in PADR & EDIDP. Holder of 3 patents and 25+ publications. Currently supporting SMEs, research centres and consortia with proposal design, tech transfer and TRL validation across EU programmes.
