Sammy Touaibia, Chemist, CEP

With us since June 2024, Sammy is a major asset, as he already has several years of experience in technical-legal investigations.

As both a chemist and an engineer, he possesses rock-solid multidisciplinary knowledge that we couldn’t do without.

His specialized expertise in analyzing failures related to materials, corrosion, mechanical fractures, and chemical issues stems from his professional experience in both the forensic field and research and development work within companies and public agencies. His skills enable him to understand failures in materials, chemistry, and chemical processes, and his exceptional ability to explain complex concepts in simple terms is an undeniable asset to our team.
