Olivier Bonin

Multimedia producer

Born in France, Olivier studied semiconductor engineering in Paris and worked as an engineer in Silicon Valley for 10 years. Later, following his passion for film, he produced Dust & Illusions, a documentary on Burning Man. After 13 years working in video production, he joined SLAC in 2020 as a multimedia producer combining his engineering background with video production. His content helps bridge the gap between complex scientific content and the general public.
