Education

- Engineering school ENSIEG Grenoble-INP, 2007
- PhD of Grenoble INP in electrical engineering, 2009

Running responsabilities

- Responsible of the research master ENEL (Electrical Energy)
- Responsible for the Power Systems option of IEE (Electrical Engineering) department of the third year of ENSE3 school

Reseach Activities

Future electrical networks must be accessible, economic and reliable. They must provide access to all the actors and in particular facilitate the penetration of renewable energies. The must be economic by managing the overall system energy efficiency and the energy policy (competition, deregulation). They must be reliable to satisfy the social expectations that are more and more dependent on the electrical energy. This can be reached by introducing more flexibility so that to satisfy the expectations off all the actors.

My research interest, the Smart Grids are the key to reach these new objectives. That is why I am investigating on:

- The research of new architectures for distribution network in order to increase the distributed generation penetration,
- The stochastic optimization of investment choices in the distribution network,
- The impact of the different flexibility levers on the distribution network investment

Teaching Activities

I am teaching to students from Grenoble-INPENSE3, university of Energy, Water and Environment. The different classes I give are:

- Electrical equipment implementation (Labs, 1st year),
- Electrical network constitution (Labs, 1st year)
- Electronic for Interfacing and Instrumentation (Labs, 1st year)
- Digital electronic (Labs, 1st year)
- Transformers and electrical networks (Course, 2ème année)
- Electrical network modeling and management (Labs, 2nd year)
- Smart grids : advanced functions for the integration of renewables (Labs, 3rd year)

Main industrial collaborations

- 2010 – 2014 : KIC INNOENERGY (Smart Power project, Sweden)
- Since 2010 : collaboration with Schneider Electric (patents development)
- Since September 2011: collaboration with the local DSO GEG inside the
  Greenlys project (Smart Grids demonstrator project)
- Since September 2013:
    . collaboration with ERDF,
    . collaboration with RWTH Aachen through the European project EVOLVDSO.
