Candice Rey<\/a> joined the Cellulose Valley Chair<\/a> as a research engineer in May 2023. Since joining, she has contributed to numerous projects and recently oversaw the launch of the CELLENGE<\/a>, a student competition, which aims to develop cellulose-based packaging solutions. We sat down with her to learn more. <\/strong><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t I first earned a bachelor\u2019s and master\u2019s degree in process engineering and fluid mechanics at the' University of Grenoble-Alpes<\/a><\/strong>. So I didn\u2019t attend an engineering school, and I wasn\u2019t familiar with the paper industry at that time. After my master\u2019s, I wrote a thesis in process engineering, and it was during that work that I first encountered cellulose. After that, I spent a year doing postdoctoral research on another process that also involved cellulose, but was more focused on the biomedical field. Following that postdoc, I worked for three years at a company in the industrial filtration sector before joining the Cellulose Valley Chair.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t I discovered Cellulose Valley<\/a><\/strong> through LinkedIn, by following Julien BRAS<\/a><\/strong>\u2019s posts. I also knew other people working in cellulose research who told me about this research group. I\u2019ve always been drawn to the subject because it\u2019s a natural raw material that can be used in countless ways to improve daily life and protect the environment. So I joined Cellulose Valley in May 2023 as a research engineer.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\tWhat was your background before joining the Cellulose Valley Chair? <\/strong><\/h2>\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
