About Me

---

With an architectural background in my family, I’ve always been interested in urban planning, architecture, and civil engineering. My taste for mathematics, applied physics, and computers led me to study civil engineering at the École Normale Supérieure de Cachan (now known as ENS Paris-Saclay). Its research-oriented programs suited me (very) well and nurtured the idea of pursuing a Ph.D. quite early.

While finishing my master’s degree, I took a year “off” from university and traveled to Vietnam. Initially, I went there to teach Material Strength at a French-speaking university, but I ended up working at the Vietnam Green Building Council (VGBC) as a Scientific Advisor for the LOTUS NC Rating Tool — a voluntary certification system for buildings and constructions. At that time, the first pilot version of LOTUS NC (New Construction) was being published. My broad civil engineering background helped me greatly in assessing the relevance and importance of each evaluation category, which allowed us to build a fair assessment scale for upcoming construction projects.

I currently work at AREP, one of the largest architecture practices in France, as a Research Engineer and Project Manager. Within the engineering department, I belong to a team called L’hypercube, where we conduct applied research and development in the broad field of building physics. Our work ranges from outdoor and indoor thermal comfort, urban-scale wind studies, and microclimate modeling, to couplings between CFD and BES, and air quality in confined spaces.

My current research interests include (but are not limited to) computational geometry, urban-scale modeling (including links with GIS), Python, web applications, CFD, data visualization, ParaView, neural networks, and more!
