AIX-EN-PROVENCE

En résumé

Graduated with a Master degree in marine engineering from Ecole Centrale de Marseille (France) and followed the master degree course in marine engineering at NTNU (Norway).

Three years’ experience as a project manager and technical lead and in DNV GL Singapore, selling and delivering technical advisory for naval architecture projects to the oil and gas and maritime industry, including hydrodynamics analysis, hydro-structure coupling and structural analysis. Member of the global DNV GL technical committee driving the company technical developments in fluid dynamics and structure.

Eight years’ experience as a research engineer and hydro-structure product leader at Bureau Veritas head office in France. Focus on hydro-structure interactions in seakeeping. Lead developer of the Bureau Veritas Homer software. Responsible for software and methodologies development for hydro-structure coupling for the global strength and fatigue assessment of floating structures for the offshore, shipping and renewable energies industry. Developed numerical tools and methods to address issues specific to shipping and offshore such as seakeeping/sloshing coupling, springing and whipping.
Responsible for the promotion and selling of the software and methods, and for the training and support of engineers for the use those tools.

Project manager and technical expert role on multiple projects for naval architecture and hydrodynamics for ultra large container vessels FPSO, FLNG, LNG carriers, Semi-Submersible, offshore support vessels and floating wind turbines.

Main author and co-author of several papers published at international conferences.
