Short bio

I am an Associate Professor in Civil and Environmental Engineering at CentraleSupélec, School of Engineering at Université Paris-Saclay.

I am a Civil Engineer and I hold a PhD from École normale supérieure Paris-Saclay (formerly École normale supérieure de Cachan), which I prepared at the Laboratory of Mechanics Paris-Saclay (formerly Laboratory of Mechanics and Technology) in France, and in the Department of Civil, Geological, and Mining Engineering at Polytechnique Montreal, Canada, under the joint supervision of Prof. Adnan Ibrahimbegovic and Prof. Pierre Léger.

In 2010, I started an academic career at CentraleSupélec (École Centrale Paris at that time) as an Assistant Professor. From 2012 to 2015, I developed my research in the Civil Engineering and Engineering Mechanics Department at Columbia University, supported by a Marie-Sklodowska Curie Fellowship from the European Commission. I have therefore had the chance to be working and living in France, Canada, and the United States.

At CentraleSupélec, I am teaching at both undergraduate and graduate levels and I am serving as scientific coordinator of two teaching programs at master level (see teaching). My research is developed with the Laboratory of Mechanics Paris-Saclay (LMPS) in the fields of computational structural dynamics and probabilistic reliability analysis, increasingly using satistical and machine learning techniques in addition to finite element simulations.

I am currently serving as Principal Investigator of the Minerve project, a large public-private collaborative resarch project in the railway sector, and of the Institute for Sustainable and Digitized Railway Infrastructures (ISDRI) (see research).
