About

I’m driven by the ambition to expand global energy capabilities and to contribute to the future industrialization of space. I have strong scientific curiosity and often dive deeply into technical subjects. I work as a creative process modeler, focused on challenging existing paradigms and exploring alternative engineering pathways. Autonomous and entrepreneurial mindset. Open to opportunities rather than a fixed career plan. Regular practice of combat sports, which builds discipline and resilience.

Experience

  • Process and Energy Efficiency Engineer at Ynergie
    Sep 2025 - Present · 10 mos

    I carried out energy management studies across industrial sites, with a focus on thermal systems. My work involved identifying inefficiencies, designing and sizing energy efficiency solutions, and proposing heat management improvements to optimize process performance. I also developed discounted cash flow analyses to assess project profitability and supported clients in structuring the financing of their investments, particularly through the preparation of CEE applications and public funding requests. This mission combined technical analysis, process optimization, economic evaluation and regulatory monitoring within complex industrial environments.

  • Process Modeling Intern – Green Ammonia and e-Fuels at EDF (China) Holding Ltd.
    Mar 2025 - Aug 2025 · 6 mos

    During my internship at EDF, I developed and simulated a complete green ammonia production chain downstream of renewable energy assets. I built a detailed Haber Bosch process model in DWSIM, integrating reaction kinetics, thermodynamics, multi stage compression, heat recovery, recycling loops and ammonia separation. I evaluated the behavior of the system under partial load conditions, generated performance curves and produced a simplified empirical model to support EDF’s sizing and annual optimization tools. My work provided a fully documented simulation tool, operational guidelines and improvement paths for future process modeling, contributing directly to the design and assessment of e fuel production scenarios.

  • Microfluidic and Plasma Reactor Intern at Institut Carnot IPGG Microfluidique
    Jan 2024 - Jul 2024 · 7 mos

    During my internship at the Pierre-Gilles de Gennes Institute, I worked on improving microfluidic and millifluidic reactors driven by cold plasma. I designed, assembled and tested reactor prototypes, analyzed plasma driven reaction behaviors and optimized operating conditions. This work strengthened my practical engineering skills in experimental setup design, diagnostics and data driven process improvement within a highly technical research environment.
