Stéphane obtained a PhD from the National University of Singapore in the labs of Drs. Lee Hian Kee & Jeffrey Obbard, investigating the fate of persistent organic pollutant in the marine environment. 

Since 2014, he has been building a food chemistry and food safety research program concentrating on developing novel analytical approaches, i.e. non-targeted analysis, to understand the behavior of trace chemicals in Agri-Food matrices. He was the recipient of Agilent Thought Leader Award 2021.
