Jason Govilas

Jason Govilas received the master’s degree in mechanical engineering from the University of Franche-Comté in 2019. He is currently pursuing the Ph.D. degree with the FEMTO-ST Institute, on the development of micro-mechatronical setups for fiber characterization, with a main focus on plant fibers. This brings him to work for the Applied Mechanics and the Automatic Control and MicroMechatronic Systems departments, while also collaborating with the Department of the French Agronomical Institute (INRAE), Nantes. He is a part of the European union’s NETFIB project (Valorization of nettle fiber grown on marginal lands in an agro-forestry system).
