Meet our steering committee:

Claudia D’Ambrosio is a research director at CNRS (Centre national de la recherche scientifique) and adjunct professor at Ecole Polytechnique. She has expertise in Mixed-Integer Nonlinear Programming (MINLP), Mathematical Programming, Exact and heuristic methods for MINLP applied to different real-world problems related to energy efficiency. She has a strong interest on industrial applications in general, and collaborated with Uber, Réseau de Transport d’Électricité, Electricité de France, Uber, just to mention a few. 

After a degree in physics and a thesis in solar radiation measurement and modeling, Jordi Badosa joined the Dynamic Meteorology Laboratory (LMD*) in 2010 to research solar forecasting for photovoltaic applications. In 2019 he was appointed technical director of the new Energy4Climate Interdisciplinary Center. Here, he is in charge of developing photovoltaic, wind and microgrid platforms designed as part of interdisciplinary projects and with strong industrial collaboration.

 

*LMD: a joint research unit CNRS, ENS - PSL, Sorbonne Université, École Polytechnique, Institut Polytechnique de Paris, 91120 Palaiseau, France 

Sourour Elloumi is Professor of Operations Research working in mixed-integer nonlinear programming with applications to discrete location, transportation, and energy. After faculty positions at the Conservatoire National des Arts et Métiers and ENSIIE, she joined ENSTA Paris where she is currently head of the Optimization and Control Research Group in the Applied Mathematics Department. She is also the coordinator of the PGMO program.

Michel Marot received the Ph.D. and Habilitation degrees from University Paris VI in 2001 and 2009, respectively. He is a Professor at Telecom SudParis. He is a Deputy Director of the Energy for Climate Interdisciplinary Center, Institut Polytechnique de Paris and Ecole nationale des ponts et chaussées. His research interests include resource management in telecommunication networks and performance evaluation. His current research aim at evaluating and decreasing energy consumption in communication networks and contributing to the design of the smart grid communication system. 

Daphne Tuncer is currently Lead Researcher at École nationale des ponts et chaussees, France. While her past work has been mostly focused on understanding how we can better manage networked system infrastructures and resources, she is now working at the intersection between computer networks, data science and digitalised mobility and energy systems. She collaborates with people in computer science, network engineering and social science to investigate the opportunities and challenges of “data” in urban environments that are adapted to people’s needs and not vice versa. Daphne is the recipient of a 2018 Imperial College Research Fellowship and the 2021 IEEE CNOM Young Professional award. She has a Ph.D. in Electronic and Electrical Engineering from University College London.

After earning a master's degree in computer science and spending around 15 years in IT project management within the insurance and tertiary sectors, Bastien Vidal, who is sensitive to the ecological challenges of our time, joined the Interdisciplinary Center Energy4Climate as a project manager for scientific demonstrators. His goal is to leverage his project management skills to serve research and climate initiatives. Within the center, he is responsible for developing and maintaining the demonstrators, one of the E4C Center's special features.
