Biography

I am an engineer-researcher at IRSN. My work focuses on the study and modelling of radionuclide transfers to the environment in post-accidental (Chernobyl, Fukushima) or postindustrial (mining sites) contexts. I develop in situ sensors (DGT and DET) for radionuclides to better constrain their transfer, bioavailability and distribution in the environment. I oversaw the IRSN experimental platform in Chernobyl from 2010 to 2017. Lately, I became an expert in radioprotection. I test and use radioactivity measurement devices on drones, robots to map and understand radionuclide distribution after an accidental reject. I am also part of the IRSN radiological emergency intervention team.
