POST-DOC FELIX POLLET JOINS THE ISA TEAM

After successfully defending his thesis on the multi-disciplinary design of UAVs and the assessment of their environmental impacts, Félix joins the ISA team as a post-doctoral fellow funded by the Occitanie Region.

Félix will develop Life Cycle Assessment approaches and integrate them with ISA’s modeling tools to enable systemic exploration of the impacts of tomorrow’s air transport. This approach, extended to a range of environmental indicators, is essential to avoid transferring the climate externality to other externalities, such as mineral resource depletion and land-use change.

Felix’s work will cover different levels of granularity, from the evaluation of new aircraft concepts to their deployment in a global fleet. It will contribute to integrating the concept of absolute sustainability, for the evaluation of aviation transition trajectories, within the AeroMAPS platform supported by ISAE-SUPAERO and the Institute for Sustainable Aviation. Finally, Félix will be undertaking methodological work on the integration of socio-economic indicators into the sector’s life-cycle analysis approaches.
