Activities
Measurement and analysis of the behaviour of wildland fires under real conditions of combustion in the field during controlled burn operations at various sites in Corsica.
Study of the thermal degradation of vegetable fuels in the laboratory setting and kinetic study of the oxidation of gaseous compounds resulting from this degradation.
Participation in works concerning the issue of smouldering fires in peat bogs in partnership with the University of Tomsk (Russia).
Since 2014, my scientific work has been focused on the issue of creating value from "green waste" through methanisation.
The author of 22 international publications, she has taken part in 30 international conferences.
