Full Professor at Université de Picardie Jules Verne in Amiens, France and Junior Member of the Institut Universitaire de France. He is the leader of the Theory Open Platform at the ALISTORE European Research Institute. He holds an ERC (European Research Council) consolidator grant for his project “ARTISTIC” dealing with the development of a digital twin of the lithium ion battery manufacturing process. His main research interests include multiscale modeling and artificial intelligence applied to energy storage and conversion devices. He is recipient of one of the French National Prizes for Pedagogy Innovation (PEPS 2019) for his use of Virtual Reality for battery education and science popularization.
