Working on sustainability topics: decarbonization of EAF processes, dedusting

Experimental and Theoretical investigations for the improvement of the energy efficiency of a low-tech water desalination process: Air-Gap Membrane Distillation
- Conception, set-up and experimentation of an optical (Schlieren) experiment for the observation of temperature polarization and permeate flow measurement in Air-Gap Membrane Distillation
- Comparison of the obtained temperature gradient with the results of a 3D code written by Uni in fortran
- Ray-traving simulation of the light rays behavior in the set-up in MATLAB
- Evaporation modelling with Statistical Rate Theory (SRT) in C++
- New spacers geometries performance analysis in FLUENT
- Exercices sessions on Heat and Mass Transfers and Thermodynamic I

Acquired knowledge: Water, Water Desalination and Energy challenges of this millenium
Acquired technics: optic, C++, MATLAB, numerical simulation

In charge of the follow-up and development of experimental pilots for micro-algae photosynthesis-based CO2 capture project "Carbon Sink"
- Implementation, maintenance and experimental follow-up of the pilots
- Physical and chemical modeling of the gas and light diffusion
- Conception of a sizing tool
