ABOUT PIERRE DAL

Diplômé de Grenoble INP - Pagora et actuellement en études supérieures à Polytechnique Montréal, je souhaite orienter ma carrière vers la recherche, le développement et l\'innovation de matériaux de hautes performances. J\'ai de l\'expérience en recherche notamment en mise en place de plans d\'expériences, en mise en forme de matériaux polymères, en fabrication de matériaux composites et en caractérisation de matériaux.Le travail d\'équipe est très important à mes yeux (en atteste mes 17 années de pratique de rugby), ainsi que la diversité culturelle qui permet d\'apporter beaucoup d\'idées.Les innovations dans le domaine des matériaux bio-sourcés et du recyclage des matériaux ont pour moi beaucoup d\'intérêts et d\'avenir!Compétences - Matériaux (polymères, composites, matériaux bio-sourcés, papiers, matériaux sandwichs)- Mélanges de matériaux polymères (interactions, mise en forme)- Emballages papiers, cartons et polymères- Travail en équipeI received my engineering degree from Grenoble INP-Pagora (skilled in bio-based materials) in France after an internship at Cargill in Germany and an internship in Mechanical Engineering at Polytechnique Montréal. I am really interested in biomass conversion, biobased materials, and polymer recycling. I continued a Master thesis in chemical engineering at Polytechnique Montréal in partnership with Khepra.My project aimed at improving the design of a continuous ultrasound reactor for lignin conversion into bioproducts applications. I received a Trottier scholarship for my project’s energy focus. I am now in PhD in chemical engineering at Polytechnique Montréal with a focus on cellulose esterification with free fatty acids, assisted by ultrasound and ionic liquids. I was granted a Mitacs Globalink Research scholarship that finances my research collaboration with the University of Canterbury in Christchurch, New Zealand, where I spent four months. I have strong knowledge in bio-based materials, polymers and composites, biomass conversion, numerical simulation, ultrasound and acoustic cavitation, cellulose dissolution and esterification, brewing science and technology.For me, teamwork and collaboration are important since I have been playing rugby for 20 years now. I am part of the rugby team of the Carabins of the University of Montréal for the 6th season now! I am an outdoor activities enthusiast – hiking, backcountry skiing, biking, camping – and am really passionate about beer brewing, winemaking and fermentation.
