1990. Graduated from « Ecole Supérieure d’Ingénieurs de Poitiers » in Energy and Master Degree in Applied Chemistry at the University of Poitiers. During the engineer school, I worked for Rhône-Poulenc (Melle 79) on a tool of the flows management in the thermal power station, for British Petroleum at the Lavéra Refinery (13) on the stability of heavy fuels, and for IFP at Rueil Malmaison (92) on hydroisomerisation et hydrocracking of n-decane on bifunctionnals catalysts.
Between 1990 and 1994. PhD thesis in Applied Chemistry (University of Poitiers) on kinetics models of catalytic cracking of Vacuum Distillates at the Laboratory ELF-CNRS in the Research Centre of Elf Solaize (69).
In 1994. Position of Research Engineer of Refinery Technical Assistance for the catalytic processes of hydroconversion and reforming of gasoline at the Research Centre of Elf Solaize (69).
1994-1995. Research assistant at the Laboratory for Chemical Technology (LPT) of University of Gent (Belgium) on the modelling of catalyst deactivation during catalytic cracking of Vacuum Distillates.
Since 1995, Researcher at the CNRS at the Laboratory of Catalytic Chemical Engineering (LGPC) (Villeurbanne 69, France). The research topics were:
Improvement and modelling of existing heterogeneous catalytic processes of petroleum refining and industrial gas production (catalytic cracking, gas oil hydrodesulfurization, methane and ethanol steamreforming, catalytic processes for syngas,methanol, dimethylether,…).
Design, manufacturing and modelling of processes to produce and store hydrogen (methane cracking, HC dehydrogenation, biogas use)
Design of Structured Heat Exchanger Reactor to improve heat transfer efficiency.
Studying, design and modelling of laboratory catalytic reactor (Ethylene polymerisation, Catalytic Basket Reactor).
2013. “Habillitation à Diriger les Recherches” at the University Claude Bernard of Lyon on «Study and design of autothermal Heat-Exhanger Reactor for the hydrogen storage in hydrocarbons»
Since January 2015, Researcher at the CNRS, Member of the DYCOP department of the “Laboratoire d’Automatique et de Génie des Procédés” (Process Control and Chemical Engineering Lab) (Villeurbanne 69, France). The research topics are :
Modelling of transfer and transport phenomena in porous media (packed bed, foam, skin,...) using new approach such as graph and Port Hamiltonien formalism to write balance equations
Kinetic modelling for complex feedstocks (hydroconversion of Heavy fuels and lignin, hydrocracking of VGO)
Dynamic modeling for the optimisation and the control of heat-exchanger networks
Dynamic modeling of antigen/antiboby capture
