About

My professional journey starts in the world of computer science, and has been guided by the belief in the transformative potential of technology to address some of the most complex problems of our time. With a comprehensive education in computer science, including an engineering degree, a master's degree, and a PhD in informatics, I have forged a path that merges the cutting-edge (computer science) with the profound (the sustainability challenge of humanity). My interest for sustainability assessment has always been underpinned by the firm conviction that computer science can serve as a potent catalyst for change. The fusion of these two disciplines, with my doctoral research focused on Agent-Based models, has allowed me to realize this vision. Through the power of computational models, I have harnessed the ability to generate faster, more robust scientific results, simulating potential solutions to sustainability problems. In my past, spanning a decade of dedicated research and development, I have seen the tangible impact that computer science can have on addressing sustainability challenges. The ability to simulate and analyze complex systems with precision and speed has opened doors to understanding intricate interactions and devising innovative solutions that would have been unimaginable just a few years ago.

Mission

My current day-to-day work is split between my job as Senior R&T Scientist at the Luxembourg Institute of Science and Technology, and my membership as vice-president of the non-profit association Départ-de-Sentier. Most of my day-to-day work involves programming, coordinating exchanges between software developpers in the unit and the Principal Investigators, as well as doing research on computational aspects for sustainability, including proposal writing and ideation.
