I am a research engineer specialised in the adaptation of buildings to climate change.
My research focuses on the adaptation of buildings to climate change, including future heatwaves climate change data, thermal comfort and heat stress during indoor overheating periods, passive or hybrid cooling solutions, microclimate and building thermal simulations, sensitivity analysis and optimization methods.
Always striving for an innovating, stimulating and international work environment. I have acquired an open mind and creative thinking, full of ideas making connections between people and projects.
Today at CSTB, I conduct research with a team of people to prepare the next thermal regulation for the design of French buildings adapted to climate change with a low carbon footprint.
I have lived and worked in Paris, Montreal (Canada), Aalborg (Denmark) and Boston (USA), conducted my PhD in La Rochelle (France), and now based in Grenoble.
I also conducted energy and building modeling at various scales (city, building, building assemblies), designed research experiments on materials and building assemblies, worked both in public and private sectors.
