Nicolas conducted his PhD research on the adsorption of formaldehyde by MOFs. The results of his work led to the creation of SquairTech and the development of our first product, ST-Sorb13. As CTO, Nicolas leads the R&D and scientific development of the start-up.

After completing her engineering studies at Chimie ParisTech, Mathilde pursued a PhD on odor capture in car cabins using MOFs at Stellantis. During this time, she understood the challenges of air quality and the potential of these materials to provide solutions. A true jack-of-all-trades, she has been responsible for the synthesis, scaling up, and shaping of materials since 2023.

An accomplished researcher in heterogeneous photocatalysis and FTIR spectroscopy, Igor is adept at using sophisticated analytical methods for material characterization and surface modification. He joins the team in July 2024. He is responsible for characterizing and analyzing the performance of SquairTech products for various applications.

Marco Daturi has been a Professor of Physical Chemistry at the University of Caen since 2002. As a researcher working at the LCS laboratory, his research focuses on in situ and operando investigations of divided solids, heterogeneous catalysis, reaction mechanisms, and materials design. He works extensively in the fields of pollutant removal, CO2 capture and hydrogenation, and energy transition. He advises and assists SquairTech in its R&D efforts.

Farid is a CNRS Research Engineer at the Institute of Porous Materials of Paris (IMAP) within École Normale Supérieure, ESPCI Paris, and PSL University. With 15 years of experience in the synthesis and applications of MOF materials and in charge of the scale-up and shaping of MOF materials and composites at IMAP, he advises and assists SquairTech in its R&D efforts.

Christian is the director of the Institute of Porous Materials of Paris (IMAP) within École Normale Supérieure, ESPCI Paris, and PSL University, which he founded in 2016. Christian’s expertise lies in the design of new functional MOFs and related composites, as well as their potential applications in the fields of health, environment, and energy. He has been an elected member of the Academy of Sciences since late 2023. He advises and assists SquairTech in its R&D efforts.

Frédéric Yeh, a Franco-Chinese specialist in the digital home sector, is an engineer by training. He has held various roles including project manager, technical account manager, director of pre-sales, and VP of Sales. He is a co-founder responsible for sales and distribution at TEQOYA, focusing primarily on the Chinese, South Korean, and Asia-Pacific markets. At SquairTech, he is in charge of business development in Asia.

After graduating of École Polytechnique, Pierre Guitton became a project manager for indoor air quality and energy efficiency at EDF. When his daughter suffered from asthma, he tested and experimented with the benefits of an air ionization system. In 2014, during a pollution peak in Paris, he decided to create TEQOYA: leveraging the potential of electrostatic technologies to purify air in a sustainable and eco-friendly way. In 2021, he participated in the creation of SquairTech. He supports the start-up on strategy, partnerships and business development.

Nicolas Royer is a computer engineer with solid experience in telecom companies. He has held various roles, from developer to team leader, in large projects. He joined TEQOYA as founder to cover all IT needs, from account management to e-commerce website and back office. He now brings his skills to SquairTech.
