Guillaume Durey

Hello and welcome to my website! 

I'm the Materials Library Science Lead at the Institute of Making at University College London. I work at the intersection of physics, culture, science communication and science education. Don't hesitate to reach out at contact[at]gdurey.me 🙂

As an independent science communicator I designed and planned conferences and science camps for high school students. As the manager of the CERN-Solvay Education Programme, I launched the digital education programme of CERN's new science centre through an online physics course on YouTube channel, and organized international student camps on campus. 

As an experimental physicist, I worked in soft matter and fluid dynamics – an interdisciplinary field at the crossroads of physics, chemistry, biology and engineering. I conducted postdoctoral research at Brown University, obtained a doctorate from Paris Sciences et Lettres University, and a "diplôme d'ingénieur" from ESPCI Paris. 

As a doctoral student, I founded The Lutetium Project, a YouTube channel showcasing experimental soft matter physics with an artistic twist. It gathered close to a million views and 25 000 subscribers, and two of its videos were prized by the American Physical Society.
