Lauren Vallez

Senior Mechanical Engineer @ Fourier

About

Senior Engineer at Fourier with a background in electrochemistry. I hold a PhD in Mechanical Engineering from Stanford, where my research focused on catalytic materials for hydrogen and hydrogen peroxide production via water electrolysis. With over seven years of experience in electrochemical experimentation, I now apply my expertise to practical and commercially viable R&D to develop sustainable solutions.
