Laura Divoux

After completing a preparatory program in Physics, Chemistry, and Engineering Sciences (PCSI), I joined ITECH Lyon, where I earned an engineering degree in polymer materials, specializing in formulation chemistry. I then pursued a double degree at emlyon business school in innovation management.Passionate about soft matter and cosmetics, I had the opportunity to complete several internships in R&D laboratories of major French brands, as well as in academic research, which naturally led me toward a doctoral path.I am currently pursuing my PhD within the NMNS team, under the supervision of Dr. Émilie Munnier and Dr. Leslie Boudesocque-Delaye (UR7502 SIMBA), as part of the DES4SKIN collaborative project, which brings together four French public research laboratories.My research focuses on the development of emulsions based on Natural Eutectic Solvents (NES) for topical applications, including their physicochemical characterization, sensorial properties, and skin penetration performance. I am also exploring predictive formulation approaches, combining design of experiments with artificial intelligence tools to design more efficient and sustainable cosmetic products.
