Philippe Wavrer

Philippe Wavrer, PhD.  Process engineer

Graduated from the University of Nancy (France), Philippe defends a PhD thesis in 1996 about the adaptation of Pierre Gy’s theory of sampling to waste and contaminated soils. Engineer then Project manager during 20 years at BRGM, the French Geological Survey, he was specialized in the characterization and treatment of domestic and industrial waste , as well as in the material balances of  waste treatment plants. Meanwhile, he has also animated training sessions or university courses about sampling.

Philippe joined CASPEO in September 2014 and is involved in plant optimisation, in implementation of metallurgical accounting systems and in measurement and sampling system audit.

Etienne Braak

Etienne Braak, PhD.  Process and software engineer

Etienne graduated from engineering school Ecole Centrale de Lyon in 2008 and completed his education with a doctorate (PhD) in process engineering from National Polytechnic Institute of Toulouse (obtained in 2012). He developed a double skill process/software engineering: he worked 2 years as a research engineer at IRSTEA (Rennes, France) and 2 years as software developer at Sopra-Steria (Nantes, France).

In early 2018, he joins CASPEO as process engineer. He is involved in software development and research projects and contributes to INVENTEO projects.
