Research Engineer
INSA de Rouen CORIA Lab.
Since January 2019
Full-time
Rouen
France
- Engineer in charge of a high pressure and high temperature aeronautic combustion test bench
- Facility operation and data acquisition management LabVIEW
Detailed Description
- This job is in the framework of some projects as the PERCEVAL project founded by SAFRAN AIRCRAFT, the european project SOPRANO or APLAREP for example.
- As the engineer in charge I operate the facility, I perform maintenance task and of development of the bench (main and secondary systems, pressure and temperature sensors, etc.)
- I support the setup and application of optical diagnostics
- I deal with suppliers, techniciens and researchers

Ph.D. in Physics, applied to energy systems
INSA de Rouen
October 2014
to January 2019
Full-time
Rouen
France
- Conception of a test bench, applied to research in combustion coupled with acoustic perturbations.
- Design and dimensioning of a liquid fuel feed system.
- Design and dimensioning of a burn gases cooling system before exhaust.
- Application of advanced optical diagnostics (LDA/PDPA, laser tomography, PIV).
- Advanced data analysis and image post-processing (e.g., Dynamic Mode Decomposition).
- Multidisciplinary work: technical (working with techniciens of the workshop), administrative (managing budgets, dealing with suppliers, among others), scientific (discussing with professors and researchers).
- Analysis of the combustion behavior when flames undergoing thermoacoustic instabilities.
- Obtention of original results: saturation of the system response revealed for the first time experimentally in two-phase flow combustion.
- Development of an innovative aerodynamic flame-stabilization system.
Detailed Description
- Ph.D. title: IMPACT OF TRANSVERSE ACOUSTIC MODES ON A LINEARLY ARRANGED TWO-PHASE FLOW SWIRLING FLAMES
- Study domain: Thermoacoustic instabilities of the combustion
- Thermoacoustic instabilities are an undesirable phenomena that hinder the development of new combustion system technologies.
- In gas turbines and rocket engines, thermoacoustic instabilities arise very often, their amplification can diminish the energy efficiency of the system and even destroy the combustor.

Dilution effects on a non-premixed methane-air jet-flame
CORIA Laboratory
March 2013
to May 2013
- Laboratory experiments.
- Perform of analysis and data processing.
- Report writing.
- First year Master internship.
- I studied the stabilization and lift condition of the flame for different conditions of dilution: injection of CO2, N2, Ar in the fuel-jet and/or in the air-jet.
- This research topic concerns two practical areas:
- flame extinction and fire safety.
- energy efficiency of industrial combustion chambers with gas recirculation.
- flame extinction and fire safety.
