About me
My name is Lucien. I was born in France and spent several years in Ireland, where I studied Biomedical Engineering at the University of Galway. I completed my PhD through a collaboration between the University of Galway and a biotech start-up in Venice, Italy.
I have experience as a data analyst at the European Commission (DG RTD) and I currently work as a policy analyst at the European Future Innovation System (EFIS) Centre.
I am passionate about science communication and data-driven storytelling, and I would love to apply my skills to support your projects!
Testimonials
Milena Isakovic Suni
Team Leader – Evaluation, DG Research & Innovation, European Commission
Lucien joined our team as a short-term expert and quickly showed capacity to compile and analyse complex data on a EUR 95 billion European programme. We were impressed by his ability to extract key messages and communicate them in an easy-to-understand way. He also produced effective visualisations using ‘R’ (that impressed even some advanced users) and was receptive to feedback. We recommend Lucien for similar analytical and communications work in the future.
Robert Wylie
CEO Fada Medical
Lucien was a transformative impact on my work and my career. We have worked together on type 1 diabetes research over a number of years in Galway and he has always brought a unique & creative data analytics skillset. There is always a story in data and Lucien has a skill for authoring its narrative. He is always able to present it in a clear, concise and impactful way that allows it to be clearly articulated. Given our experience, I would highly endorse Lucien's expertise and I would endeavor you to have him involved in your project.

His ability to communicate complex scientific concepts to the general public is truly remarkable, and he has a talent for making even the most intricate data accessible and understandable to a wide audience.

We needed an expert kayaker to localise all of the products on our website to French language. Lucien delivered the whole package ahead of our deadline, with great communication, making our print catalogue a lot easier to handle too.

Lucien is exceptionally talented in grant writing. He not only quickly understood my scientific discipline and project, but he highlighted my work and vision in a story that was easy for the reader to understand, was captivating, and ultimately helped me win a grant.
