Engineering & Projects

I studied engineering at the ULiège and then started working at IBA in Louvain-la-Neuve, first as a Methods Engineer, then as Manufacturing Engineering and SAP Data Manager and finally as Program Manager. My hobbies are: seeing my friends, sports (mountain biking, squash, badminton, volleyball, taekwondo, judo...) and cinema/series.

I started working at IRE in September 2019. My objective as Project Manager is to ensure a quality objective within a controlled time and budget. As part of the Cyclotron project, the objective is to acquire a new radioisotope production tool.

Radiochemical Production

I studied at the University of Liège, where I obtained my diploma in electromechanical civil engineering in 1991.
My hobbies are my family, DIY, swimming and playing guitar.

I have been working at IRE since 2013.
My work consists of monitoring and resolving problems and improving processes in the production of radioisotopes. This means I have to get involved in many different areas: production procedures, safety and security, quality, supply chain, new equipment, team organization, etc.

Radiopharmaceutical Production

I am a qualified Industrial Engineer. My professional career began in a sugar factory and then in a pharmaceutical company before joining IRE.
I love traveling and the "Binchois" folklore.

I've been working at IRE since 2018. I was Production Manager for the radiochemical department and since January 2023, I've been Production Manager for the radiopharmaceutical department.
My job consists of supervising the production team and organize all production operations in compliance with Quality and Safety/Security rules.
I work closely with all support departments.

R&D

I studied chemistry at the University of Liège, where I obtained my doctorate in 2010.
My hobbies are music, travel, walking, etc.

I have been working at IRE since July 2011.
With my colleagues in the R&D team, my work consists of developing new products and refining and improving the related production processes. This requires us to keep up to date with the latest scientific developments, and also to maintain many collaborative relationships both internally and externally.

R&D

My career path began in 2013 after 3 years of a bachelor's degree in chemistry at the Institut Paul Lambin and led me to discover university research and quality control in the pharmaceutical industry before joining the IRE.

I devote my free time to my family, reading, travelling, hiking in the countryside (mainly in the mountains), drawing, DIY, gardening and climbing; but as I no longer have the time to do so, I have replaced it with aerial/trapeze fabric (to keep my height!).

I have been working at IRE since June 2016 where I was hired by the Downstream Production department to take care of part of the management of low-level waste. In February 2018, I joined the R&D department to work as a laboratory technician on the chemical process part of the SMART project.

The technicians' main job is to carry out tests in the laboratory. We work closely with the researchers to exchange ideas and move the projects forward.
The R&D department is responsible for improving and supporting production processes on the one hand and developing new products on the other.

IRE Lab

Holder of a Master's degree in Biology and Oceanography from the ULiège, I first worked in an academic environment in research on the impact of pollutants in the North Sea before specialising, through several experiences, in the management of Quality Assurance in analytical laboratories.
I am passionate about cycling, which I enjoy both on and off road, and I also enjoy hiking, gardening and DIY.

I arrived at IRE in March 2019.
Within IRE Lab, my role is to ensure that all elements of the quality and environmental management system of the laboratories and project management services operate effectively to continuously improve our performance and the quality of our services. I am also the main contact with the official bodies that audit us and issue our approvals, certifications and accreditations .
A wide variety of tasks are involved: management of the correct application of the documentary system, regulatory watch, reception, staff training and awareness-raising, management of non-conformities, risk analyses and customer complaints, organisation and implementation of internal audit planning, organisation of annual management reviews, monitoring of laboratory performance. Good organisation, a great deal of communication and rigour are essential, because compliance with all these processes also contributes to maintaining our certifications and accreditations, official recognition of our competence and good organisation.

Product Design & Development

After my engineering studies in robotics and computer systems in the South of France in Toulouse, I decided to come and live in Belgium in order to share my passion for computer systems, but also to share a good game of petanque.

My work consists of designing, developing and optimising innovative and tailor-made software solutions for sampling, measuring and control equipment for radioactivated radio to meet specific customer requirements. I am also involved in the hardware design of embedded systems, or in the automation of development and deployment processes.

IRE Lab

I obtained my complementary master's degree in food science and technology at UCL.
I love gardening.

I have been working at IRE since 2019. My work consists in measuring total alpha-beta activity in water as well as Sr 90 in organic matrices.

Quality Control

I studied at IPKN in Montignies-Sur-Sambre (now named Haute Ecole Provincial du Hainaut), where I obtained my graduate diploma in clinical chemistry in 1997.
My hobbies are group fitness classes (BodyPump, BodyCombat, RPM, etc.).

I have been working at IRE since 2003.
My work consists of supervising the activity of the Quality Control department of IRE - IRE ELiT. Our unit is in charge of carrying out checks on the various radiochemical and radiopharmaceutical isotopes produced at IRE - IRE ELiT, as well as all the associated materials, in order to ensure their quality. It also involves validating formulated methods for the development of new products. All of this is done in compliance with cGMP requirements.
