Bastien is a past Ph.D. student of the Bakker group who joined us from Paris, France. He worked on potentially calibration-free electrochemical sensors using thin sample layers. He showed a strong interest in computational modeling and outreach activities of the University, for which he developed a dedicated environmental demonstration module. He is employed at Agilent in Switzerland.
