Véronique Dias
Post-doctoral researcher
Dr. at UCL in 2003
Contact

Main project: BEST
Funding: Fonds de transition énergétique (SPF Economie)
Supervisor(s): Hervé Jeanmart

obtained her PhD at UCL in 2003, then worked as Postdoctoral Researcher at the Laboratoire de Physico-Chimie de la Combustion (Faculty of Science). In 2009, she moved to the Institute of Mechanics, Materials and Civil Engineering, and since 2012, she has a position of Research Associate. In 2015, she obtained her HDR (Habilitation à Diriger la Recherche) at the Université of Orléans (France).
Her research interests cover the combustion and kinetics of alternative fuels by the elaboration of kinetic models for hydrocarbons and oxygenated species. These projects in combustion include both experimental and numerical parts. They are contributions to the IEA (International Energy Agency) Implementing Agreement for Energy Conservation and Emission Reduction in Combustion.
In 2016-2018, Véronique Dias also worked on a project on energy storage, and more specifically, in chemical form.
In the BEST project, she holds the management and coordination that support all the activities to be developed during the project by providing the necessary tools, methods and governing structure.
