Academic profile
I am an FNRS Research Associate (Chercheur Qualifié) and Associate Professor at the University of Liège, head of the Integrated and Sustainable Energy Systems (ISES) Research group
I conduct research in the field of Integrated Energy Systems, mainly focused on the transition towards clean and renewable energy production. In the course of my work I created and lead the development of various open-source modelling tools, such as MicrogridsPy, Dispa-SET or ProsumPy.
Research topics
Energy planning:
- Energy sufficiency
- Heat integration into energy systems and deployment of renewables
- Integrated energy systems & sector coupling
International development:
- Energy transition in developing countries
- Rural electrification pathways and microgrids
Open-Source Projects
- RAMP: Software suite for the stochastic simulation of user-driven energy demand time series
- Dispa-SET: Power market model including unit commitment and optimal dispatch
- GPExp: A Gaussian Processes framework for the analysis of Experimental Data
- ThermoCycle: A Modelica Library for the dynamic modelling of thermal systems
- CoolProp: An open-source, cross-platform, free property database based in C++ that includes pure fluids, pseudo-pure fluids, and humid air properties.
