Ingénieur en Chef des Ponts et Eaux et Forêts, HDR.

My research activity is focused on freight transport economics. I'm interested in the relationship between, on the one hand, the objectives and constraints of supply chains, and on the other hand, the cost structure of freight transport services. My work consists in particular in identifying why certain types of transport operations are more often preferred to others by shippers, depending on the characteristics of supply chains. This is relevant to understanding mode choice, as well as vehicle type choice, among other things. My more recent research work is twofold. First, I've examined several partially or fully automated or connected transport systems (autonomous trucking, autonomous urban logistics, platooning, etc.); second, I've worked on decarbonation and energy transition in freight transportation (from urban logistics to highway transport). I also have an expertise activity in the field of cost-benefit assessment, as a member of the Standing Committee of civil investment appraisal.
