About me

I was born and raised in New Caledonia, a small paradise in the South Pacific Ocean, one of Earth treasure. Outraged by some behaviour human have in respect to their peers and the environment, I ought to dedicate my time to contribute to make society more sustainable.

My PhD thesis

The main objective is to provide decision support for sustainable national bioeconomy strategy in France by contributing to building the biomaterial foundation for a life cycle optimization platform. The aim is to promote the use of the residual biomass in the production of bio-based materials and molecules. Ultimately, the results should make it possible to optimize their contribution to mitigating climate change without transferring environmental impacts. 

Main research question:

Under which means (pathways), conditions (technical, availability) and consequences (LCA environmental tradeoffs) can the transformation of residual biomass into bio-based products (materials and materials) lead to optimal climate change mitigation in France?
