Geraldine Durand

I am a Knowledge Transfer Manager for International and Development, with a focus on supporting international innovations and facilitating research and innovation collaborations with key economies around the world.

I received a Masters from the University of Technology of Compiègne (UTC) in France, and a PhD from the University of Kent. I began my career as a Development Chemist in Dow Corning (now Dow) then moved to TWI Ltd as senior project leader and later Section Manager. In 2016, I became the Director of the Advanced Resins & Coatings Technologies Innovation Centre (ARCTIC) between London South Bank University and TWI Ltd.

I have over 10 years of experience in collaborative research and development, innovation management and product development. I am currently a visiting Fellow at London South Bank University.
