Positions and responsabilities

Full Professor (Directeur de Recherche) at MINES Paris PSL

since 2023

Energy and processes department PERSEE Center: Center for Processes, Renewables Energies and Energy Systems ERSEI group 10 PhD students already defended under my supervision or co-supervision, 9 on-going PhD under my direction, 4 ongoing postdocs under my direction (see below ).

Research topics - Net zero transition modeling.

  • Energy demand modeling - Temporal and spatial demand modeling, building retrofits at the territory scale, evolution of heating, low carbon industry, role of hydrogen.
  • Planing and operation of multi-energy systems - Electric network planing (transport/distribution), hydrogen production systems planing, multi-energy systems.
  • Integration of Renewables - Short terme forecasting of renewable production, price and demand. Land use and energy. Optimal mix of flexibility.
  • Energy markets - Market price dynamic modeling. Regulation and actor modeling.
