Quentin Benethuillere

Research Engineer - IONIS Education Group

As a manager of the innovative platform of IONIS Lyon Vaise (featuring a fablab and a workshop equipped with a complete set of professional equipements), Quentin is in charge of coordinating, animating and developing all the activities that take place in both spaces. In close collaboration with the director of strategy and innovation, the teaching staff, research groups, students, industrial partners and local authorities, Quentin contributes to the development of the innovative platform through his implication in a wide range of exciting projects. Environmentally conscious and convinced of the importance of circular economy, he pushes forward those considerations into the design and fabrication process. With an engineering background and seven years working in the aeronautical and automotive industries, Quentin graduated from the FabAcademy in Paris (2021), where he gained advance knowledge in rapid prototyping and digital fabrication. After a first successful experience as a fablab animator in Montréal, and given his strong attraction for science, technology, the Maker movement, this position of FabManager stood as an evidence in furthering his career.
