A word from Alexis

R&D & security leader

“Applied research at an innovative company like Rtone allows us to learn and discover new things all the time. We need to take full advantage of academic research and engineering in our everyday work to solve new problems. Collaborating with industrial and academic partners across Europe is fascinating. I also love sharing our knowledge and promoting Rtone’s expertise through presentations and technical or scientific articles.”
