Professor Jean Bernard-Mourgé.

Professor has a distinguished career.

He taught at the University of Paris Dules, 20th and for more than 10 years at the University of Plano-2-Vant-Ewasas

before joining Science for Paris in 2006.

at some point, just after I went there myself as a research student in fact.
