Paco is a graduate of the Ecole Polytechnique and the Paris School of Economics. He joins us after a year in charge of technical and economic studies for the Safran group’s strategy department. He also completed a short contract at Carbone 4 this year to support the development of the IRIS initiative, which aims at prospective and quantitative analysis of climate and resource availability issues (all sectors).
Passionate about the challenges of socio-economic transition towards a sustainable society, his background and motivation make him an ideal candidate to suggest and develop qualitative modeling leaps within the AeroMAPS toolbox, currently being developed at ISAE-SUPAERO. This platform, which aims to become a truly sector-specific Integrated Assessment Model (IAM), lies at the heart of the Institute for Sustainable Aviation’s interdisciplinary approach.
After mapping the civil aviation ecosystem and its internal and external interactions (energy, tourism, etc.), Paco will focus on the representation of key economic and regulatory mechanisms (rebound effect, market equilibrium, environmental taxation). He will also contribute to the methodological developments of AeroMAPS (multi-fidelity, optimization, quantification of uncertainties), which will ultimately renew the angle of exploration of varied scenarios for the aviation of the future.
This ambitious project has brought together a number of colleagues from ISAE-SUPAERO, ENAC and Toulouse Business School.

On May 21, we will welcome Professor R.R.A. Martins, who will present how to shape sustainable aviation with multidisciplinary analysis and design optimization.
More than 50 researchers, teachers and representatives of the aviation industry took part in the bi-annual seminar organized by the Institute for Sustainable Aviation (ISA)
Bastien PAIS is one of the eight PhDs whose thesis has been labelled by ISA in 2023. His research on aviation and planetary boundaries aims
