Frederic Charbonneau

PhD candidate and Research Assistant

Research interests

I am currently working on glass micro machining by Sparks-assisted chemical engraving (SACE). This work focus on the optimization of the machining parameters (the process cost, the machining speed and the quality of the machining). I have personal interest in microfluidic applications.
