Actual position and research subject

After a master’s degree in Chemical Engineering at the University of Lorraine (Nancy) in 2005, and a PhD in 2008, Nicolas Dietrich joined INSA Toulouse in 2009 as an associate professor. He had conducted a series of studies devoted to the characterization and visualization of mass transfer around bubbles using fluorescence quenching and oxygen sensitive dyes. These studies have been supported by an ANR young scientist project (ANR MAMOTHS 2017), several French and international PhD funds with international universities (Germany, Morocco, Chile, China, Thailand & South Korea), and several company collaborations (Suez, Total, etc.) for more than 3 million euros, including 1 million euros as principal investigator over the last 5 years. He supervised 20 PhD students, 9 post-doc students and 34 Master students. He produced 65 articles in international peer-reviewed journals, given 91 conference communications and seminars and filed 6 patents. Since 2018, he has been the co-leader of the “multiphase flow” research group of the FERMaT Federation, which brings together 50 scientists and 30 PhD students in 9 laboratories from the Toulouse region, and since 2020 the co-leader of the “transfer-mixing-interface” research group of the Toulouse Biotechnology Institute (15 scientists and 15 PhD students).

Education and Diploma

Teaching

My teaching activities cover transfer phenomena, fluid mechanics, unit operations for chemical engineering (distillation, extraction, absorption, etc.), industrial process architecture as well as an economic and societal approach to process engineering. Annual average over the last 5 years: 270 h/year TD equivalent:

– 3rd to 5th year in the INSA Toulouse engineering program – 20 hours of lectures, 50 hours of practical work, 60 hours of practical work, 40 hours of project work and 30 hours of teaching responsibilities. 

– M1/M2 Master of Science (in English) – 20 hours of classes, 20 hours of projects and 34 hours of teaching responsibilities.

Innovative pedagogies: 10 articles published in international pedagogical journals (gamification, distance learning, use of Augmented Reality, hybrid and distance learning, popularization), 4 conferences and various pedagogical project evaluation.
