After my civil engineering degree, I completed my doctoral thesis at IMT Nord Europe and the University of Lille from February 2015 to December 2017. I am currently working as an Assistant-Professor at IMT Nord Europe. I work on various subjects related to : Material reuse and design, Low-carbon concretes, Durable materials, Geopolymers and AAM, Waste treatment, Numerical modeling,ect).
Research and teaching Activities: Drive several research projects and work hand-in-hand with industries and private companies, Research and development of new alternative materials, Study of cementitious matrixes, durability assessment, LCA, Design of low-carbon binders and building materials, geopolymers, and waste reuse in the construction sector, Numerical analysis and modeling, The use of machine learning and IA to design building materials, Reinforced concrete, steel framework, seismic design, etc.
As a design office in structure design, I carried out a self-employment activity. I was able to work on various projects : Building design, sizing of a wastewater treatment plant and bridges, Calculation of concrete, wooden, and metal structure, seismic modeling, and design, etc.
As calculation engineer, I was able to do : Project management, Calculation of structures, Design and Modeling, Calculation notes and project monitoring
Doctoral thesis on the study and valorization of alternative materials such as sediments in cementitious matrices. Abstract: In France, the construction sector's annual needing for granular materials is close to 400 million tons, of which 96% are of natural origin. Therefore, it becomes highly necessary to find alternatives solutions, particularly in the valorization of industrial by-products (IBP) such as dredging sediments. Marine sediments are designated as secondary raw materials in this study. However, the latter may present varying levels of pollution, with the presence of organic matter (5% to 30%), relatively high water content (50% to 200%), and a fairly fine granulometry (6 to 300μm). Recent research targets the use as a supplementary mineral addition in concrete after efficient methods of treatment that improve some physicochemical properties. The aim of this study is to establish a profitable methodology for the use of sediments in cementitious matrixes. In this report, we present first, a bibliographical review of this subject. At the experimental level, a physicochemical characterization was carried out, determining the major parameters to be considered, the effects of the treatment on material properties, the likely impact of the presence of sediments in the cementitious matrix, and an experimental methodology to quantify these various effects. The cementitious materials formulated will be analyzed and characterized at four scales: physicochemical, mechanical, durability, and environmental impact. The analysis of the mechanical results makes it possible to assess the activity of this material and to implement adapted formulation laws.
