Post-doctoral researchers

Dr. Solène Chiquier joined the Massachusets Institute of Technology on March 23, 2022 to start her post-doctoral research program supported by the CarMa Chair to study "The role and value of CDR pathways in delivering the Paris Agreement’s 1.5–2°C objectives – Integrating CDR within international/inter-regional carbon markets – International/Inter-regional Cooperation & Geo-Political Coalitions" under the supervison of Dr. Sergey Paltsev.

She formerly gratudated from CentraleSupélec (Paris Saclay, France) and obtained a PhD on "The Implications of the Paris Agreement on Carbon Dioxide Removal (CDR) - Techno-Economics, Potential, Efficiency and Permanence of CDR pathways" at the Centre for Environmental Policy / Centre for Process Systems Engineering - Imperial College London in July 2022.

Dr. João Pedro Domingues joined AgroParisTech - INRAE (Paris-Saclay University) for a postdoctoral position in March 2022. He is working with  no-harm deployment scenarios of bioenergy (and BECCS) and their contribution to negative emission targets. He aims carrying out research to understand how to minimize the adverse side effects (i.e. no harm scenario) of global bioenergy deployment. An important part of his work consists on assessing the compatibility of no-harm bioenergy scenarios with Sustainable Development Goals for the land sector.

Dr Carlos Eduardo Andrade Sandoval was part of the Economics and Environmental Evaluation Department of IFP Energies nouvelles from October 2021 to October 2022 to work on the topic “Negative Emission Technologies: an outlook on their role in the decarbonisation of energy-intensive industries (EII) with TIAM Model”.  This work was achieved in partnership with the centre of Applied Mathematics of Mines ParisTech based in Sofia Antipolis (South of France).

Dr. Andrei Carlos Briones Hidrovo's post-doctoral position in the CarMa chair focused on environmental assessment of Negative Emissions Technologies (NETs), such as BECCS, DACCS, afforestation and carbon integration in soils... A special attention was paid to the integration of temporal dynamics in the assessment of climate change. Dynamic Life Cycle Impact Assessment considers the timing of an emission occurrence by means of temporal differentiated emission profiles. In this work, the candidate considered such a dynamic modeling, and questioned implicit assumptions related to it, like the choice of the time horizons or the timing of the sequestration. At last the assessments aimed at going beyond the analysis of individual chains, and being extended to large scale deployment. Therefore  direct and indirect effects such as land use change are analyzed, depending on the type of technologies and on the scale of expansion.

Dr. Ancuta Isbasoiu served as Post-Doctoral Scholar at IFP Energies nouvelles, in the Economics and Environmental Evaluation Department. During the Post-Doctoral program within the Chair «Carbon Management and Negative CO2 emissions technologies towards a low carbon future» (CarMa), Ancuta worked on the topic “Negative greenhouse gas emissions in France by 2050: techno-economic potential assessment”. More precisely, she conducted research on the economic assessment of negative greenhouse gas emissions (GHG) in France in light of the 2050 climate neutrality.

PhD Students 

Romain Presty joined the Economics department of IFP School on the 28th of November 2022 to conduct his PhD work on Equilibrium Modelling of Carbon Dioxide Removal (CDR) Markets in partnership with CentraleSupélec. A special attention is dedicated on the agent’s behavior, combining Game Theory and Complementarity problems. In his work, Romain likes to consider the economics aspects of CDR technology to better remedy the challenges related to the implementation of such technologies. He formerly graduated from Toulouse School of Economics with a master’s degree on Environmental and Energy Economics.
