The doctoral project is based on two pillars.
The first uses climate models to identify day-to-day weather and climate conditions at different airports around the world. The second aims to evaluate aircraft performance, and engine thrust,in particular, using a thermodynamic model that takes atmospheric conditions into account. These two coupled models are the subject of an effort to quantify the propagation of uncertainty on atmospheric input variables to aircraft performance. A sensitivity study is used to rank the performance-determining parameters and the probabilities of disruption to operational conditions under different climatic scenarios.
This thesis is co-directed by Nicolas Gourdain (ISAE-SUPAERO) and Sophie Ricci (CERFACS).
In March 2023, Suzanne took part in the EUROPEAN ACADEMIA @EASA 2023 conference in Cologne, where she was selected with three other European PhD students to further a partnership with EASA on the impact of climate change on aviation safety.

Laetitia Bornes’ thesis, awarded the ISA label in 2023, delves into a systemic approach aimed at integrating rebound effects into interactive system design.
Zoom in on Vincent Jacquot, one of the 8 PhD students whose theses have been ISA-labelled in 2023.
This thesis project, led by Sindy PAEZ ORTIZ and labelled by the Institute for Sustainable Aviation follows on from an exploratory study carried out in
