This year we have the honor to have with us at the Doctoral School Conference, two reputed guests.
Dr. Frédéric Thevenet is a Professor at IMT Nord Europe (Ecole des Mines de Douai). After a Master degree in Material Science in 2003 from Lyon University, he obtained in 2006 a PhD from Lyon University and Ecole Polytechnique in air treatment processes. He developped green process technologies during a two-year postdoc at CNRS and ARKEMA Co. In 2008 he was recuited as Assistant Professor at Institut Mines Telecom to developp a new research activity dealing with indoor air treatment. He defended his research habilitation in 2015 on heterogeneous oxidation of VOCs and was promoted Professor from Institut Mines Telecom in 2016. He coordinates the Indoor Air Quality research group at IMT Nord Europe. From a disciplinary point of view, his research activites are focused on heterogeneous physical chemistry. From an application point of view he works on various processes involving gas-solid interactions in indoor and outdoor environments. He is currently author and co-author of 65 research papers and supervised 12 PhD theses.
Dr. Tomasz C
holewa PhD, DSc works at the Lublin University of Technology as Associate Professor. He coordinates a research project about innovative, forecast control of the heating system, which is easily applicable in existing buildings.
He was a reviewer in many international journals and in EC in topics related to energy efficiency in buildings. He is a professional/licensed engineer (PE) for designing and supervising on building site in frame of heating, ventilation, air conditioning, water supply. He is Chair of the Polish Chamber of Sanitary Engineers, Region Lublin. His main research topics are related to energy-efficient renovation of existing buildings (especially in field of HVAC), radiant heating/cooling, heat cost allocation in buildings, renewable energy use/integration in buildings.
