Actual position and research subject
Joining TBI in 2021, my work focuses on the development of tools and models of (bio)processes that could be applied in the frame of the eco-design of value chains. This include modeling for the implementation of technical and environmental analyses of several processes. Environmental analysis is carried out via the holistic standardized methodology of Life Cycle Analysis (LCA).
The core of my activity is modeling to provide accurate data for LCA and provide accurate results. Depending on their objective the models can include metabolism (dynamic metabolic models), data (data-driven models with machine learning algorithms), kinetic laws (mechanistic models) or simple stoichiometric models. The developed models and tools go from microbial to territorial metabolism where I bring my expertise to provide insights towards the improvement of (bio)processes and to enhance their sustainability.
