Marianne BOIX

I am working in the department Process and Systems Engineering on modelling and optimization of complex systems according to environmental and economic criteria. My research activities are focused on the modelling and multicriteria optimization of resource networks at different scales. A typical application is the optimal design of exchanges of energies and water in the field of industrial ecology (Boix et al., 2015). The main goal is to develop approaches, procedures and methodologies to build generic models that can help the decision makers at a tactical scale by giving them operational optimal solutions (Boix et al., 2022). The criteria are various: economic, environmental based on LCA approaches, societal or operational. I am also interested in the deployment of optimization approaches at a territorial scale through the study of water-energy- food nexus with multi-agent based approaches.

Keywords:

• Multiobjective optimization
• Industrial ecology, industrial symbioses
• Multicriteria decision –making tools
• Water-energy-food nexus
• Energies, water networks, heat integration
• Decarbonization

Teaching and collective responsibilities

My teaching experiences gather basics for engineers such as: numerical analysis, optimization, multiobjective optimization, project management, heat integration, process integration analysis. I have also developed several teaching courses for Master degrees students in Industrial Ecology, Operational research and multicriteria decision-making tools.

Responsibilities

• Head of Industrial systems engineering Master degree since 2020, at ENSIACET, INPT
• Active member of the transdisciplinary “Mastère Spécialisé Eco-Ingénierie” since 2016, INPT

Research projects

I have participated as work package leader to different national research projects: ANR SEARRCH, ANR WAENO, ENERNET project (CNRS)  and coordinated projects like ANR GREENSCOPE (ANR-16-CE10-0001, from 2016 to 2020): https://anr.fr/Projet-ANR-16-CE10-0001.

Responsible of project ACT-4-IE: development of a systemic tool for industrial ecology (https://www.pepr-spleen.fr/le-pepr/) (22-PESP-0004-ACT-4IE   from 2023 to 2029)

I am also member of the operational committee of PEPR SPLEEN for the decarbonization of industry. I am responsible with my colleague G. Batot (IFPEN) of Axis 1: New monitoring and control tools.
