I am a PhD candidate working on software environmental footprint in the Spirals team at Inria Lille and Orange Innovation in Rennes. I’m also an active member of Boavizta. I am particularly interested in these subjects:
- Green IT
- Sustainable ICT
- Life Cycle Assessment
- Input/Output analysis
- Software architecture
