Strategic direction of research and innovation for these fields• Implementation of the National Research Strategy and national roadmaps• Definition of research programs (operated by agencies), expertise of scientific proposals• Monitoring of future investments (ITE VEDECOM, IRT Jules Verne ...) and programs of research organizations and schools (IFSTTAR, CSTB, ENPC ...)• Orientation and French representation in the mobility cluster of the European H2020 and Horizon Europe programs

Hybrid architectures and electrified components, spark ignition and Diesel engine technology, transmission, energy recoveryAnalysis and synthesis of powertrain tests (engine test cell & vehicle) and simulation (0-D global modeling approach), design office (whole conception of new energy systems). • Driving human resources (35 collaborators) and investments, focused on projects achievements (QCD goals) o Allocation of resources, support and solutions for projects needs (dedicated to 60 studies / year)o Management of innovation methodologies (patents multiplied by 3 in 6 years) • Recruiting, managing & coaching multifunctional teams to deliver strong performanceo Scientific and technical animation core team competencies development o Identification of individual improvements areas, performance assessment, skills monitoring o Promotion of corporate values• Leading specific missions (in collaboration with division board) such as realigning the team with business unit strategy, reinforcing innovation process, initiating a skills road map.• Co-animating ANCRE (Alliance Nationale de Coordination de la Recherche pour l’Énergie), “Transport” Groupo Suggesting a global vision of transport evolution needs, tackling scientific and technological lockso Contributing to national strategy about energy and policies of French energy agencies

• Generated a technological vision of high efficiency & clean Diesel powertrain: assessment of innovations, development of IFPEN Diesel expertise (skills, tools, methodologies) • Represented IFPEN know how of Diesel technology for customers and public authorities: road map build up, commercial presentations (75 on this period), scientific publications (around 8 per year)• Submitted tenders to European customers (Renault, PSA, Ford, Daimler …) and multiplied program partnerships for R&I calls (number of contracts doubled in 6 years)

• Coordinated scientific and technological projects (5 studies / year): program definition from customers’ requirements, operational team management, high value added innovations offer• Managed planning and budget (2 - 4 M€ per year): consolidating and fitting means and resourcese.g.: strong downsizing / downspeeding, low NOx combustion system, injection pressure 250 MPa, variable valve actuation, innovating supercharging, …

• Carried out experimental studies (Diesel, Spark Ignition, Calibration): detailed program definition, tests monitoring, analyze and expertise, synthesis and reporting, results presentation • 12 scientific publications, 6 patentse.g. : GDI benchmarking, Diesel cold start, vehicle calibration, advanced multi-injection pattern,…
