It is a great honor to announce today that I am a 2011 TED Senior Fellow.
Thanks to the TED organizers and the wonderful people that supported my application. Most of the projects I work on are collaborative, so this success is not only mine, but belongs to every person that was kind to work with me. Thank you very much. I will do my best to promote our collective actions. This also strongly encourages me to push my efforts in developing Oil Spill cleaning technologies here in the Gulf of Mexico.
I hope I will have the pleasure to see you at
- TED 2011 : February 28-March 4, 2011: Long Beach, CA, USA.
- TED Global : July 11-15, 2011: Edinburgh, Scotland.
Again, thanks to all the amazing people I have been working with, let's keep going stronger.
I will have the immense privilege to hang out and share ideas with the following brilliant individuals :
