Experience

    • Responsable Formation - Spé : Nouvelles Energies et Environnement
      • Sep 2020 - Present

      La spécialité dont j’assure le Lead traite essentiellement de transition énergétique dans les transports. Cela nécessite l’acquisition par les futur(e)s ingénieur(e)s, de nouvelles compétences :- La connaissance du cadre réglementaire et des différentes normes environnementales- Les logiques de l’écoconception, du recyclage, et plus globalement de l’analyse des cycles de vie de produits- Les nouveaux carburants (Carburant de synthèse (e-Fuels), Bio-carburant, GPL, GNL, GNC) - Combustion Conventionnelle et nouveaux modes de combustion (HCCI, CAI, SACI et GCI)- Nouvelles motorisation (Électrique, Hybride, Hydrogène - Pile à combustible)- La connaissance fine des disciplines liées à la problématique des nouvelles énergies- L’intégration des technologies numériques- Enfin, un changement important se trouve aussi dans la façon de travailler ensemble et collaborer. Car la transition énergétique nécessite davantage de contacts transversaux entre métiers et un décloisonnement disciplinaire Show less

      My research/teaching activities are relied on Air Quality and Depollution with applications to transport systems: automotive, aeronautical and railway engineering. Transport plays a fundamental role in the lives of societies and individuals : how people interact, work, play, organize production, develop cities, and get access to services, amenities and goods is inextricably linked with the development of mobility and the choices people make about it.In societies that rely heavily and increasingly on motorized systems, transport (automotive, aeronautical and railway) vehicles are expected to become safer, more luxurious, powerful, and to be driven more frequently. These expectations, however, often do not take account of the ensuing consequences: increased fuel consumption, greater emissions of air pollutants and greater exposure of people to hazardous pollution that causes serious health problems.The increased intensity of and reliance on transport also increase the risk of road-traffic injuries, exposure to noise and sedentary lifestyles. These risks are a disproportional threat to the most vulnerable groups in the population, such as children and the elderly, and they raise important questions about social inequalities. An increasing body of evidence points to the magnitude of these adverse effects on health and to the need to identify solutions that both reduce risks to health and meet the requirement for mobility. One of the research issues explored by my research activities with a view to reduce pollutant risks on health is to deeply understand the fate of pollutants once emitted. This requires studying the dynamics of spatio-temporal evolution of particulate and gaseous pollutants (NO, SOx, NOx, CO2, VOCs and ultrafine particles) in the wake flow and their fine interaction with turbulent flow structures. This study is both numerical (CFD on Multiphase flow) and experimental (On-board measurements + physical modelling in subsonic wind tunnels) Show less

      Multiphysics modeling and Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) applied to food processes. My research project aims to model with Comsol Multiphysics the growth of bubbles in a pressed uncooked cheese The Maxwell model with 5 branches is used to reproduce the cheese material Modeling also takes into account the transport of CO2 in the cheese Experimental device subjecting isolated bubbles in a cheese cylinder to various mechanical stresses has been achieved It tracks the evolution of bubbles in real time using MRI and the comparison of experimental results with simulations is made Show less

    • Assistant Professor and Research Fellow (AER-Ecole Navale)
      • Oct 2009 - Jan 2014

      During my time at Ecole Navale, I worked as Teaching Assistant and PhD student. I conducted several activities in Experimental Fluid Dynamics on bubbly turbulent flows. Topics involved bubbly drag reduction and turbulent Taylor-Couette flow. I performed velocity measurement (PIV and LDV), viscous torque measurement using a torquemeter and gas-phase characterization using optical probes and Particles Tracking Velocimetry (PTV). I also designed and supervised construction of the Taylor Couette experimental facility of the Naval Academy Research Institute. My teaching activities included: numerical analysis, fluid mechanics, turbulence modelling, heat transfer, probability and statistics, training in commercial software such as Fluent / ANSYS, Matlab , Fortran90 and finally the supervision of the Navy officers student projects.
