I am a French physicist and Research Director at Mines Paris - PSL University, within the O.I.E. Laboratory. My research focuses on solar irradiance forecasting, time-series modelling, artificial intelligence for energy systems, and, historically, medical physics. I am also Visiting Professor at the Faculty of Engineering, University of Kragujevac, Serbia, and maintain scientific cooperation with the University of Corsica.
My multidisciplinary career bridges clinical technologies and renewable energy systems, with over two decades of experience across healthcare, academia, and applied research. I have authored more than 130 peer-reviewed articles, contributed to several national and EU-funded projects (e.g., SAPHIR, Fine4cast, TILOS), and developed tools such as LQL-Equiv, an open-source software for radiotherapy dose equivalence used in clinical and academic centres across more than 20 countries. Designed for oncology professionals, it enables transparent and reproducible BED/EQD2 calculations for treatment planning and education. I am also co-founder of TLS (Tunnel Load Simulator) and have contributed to the development of several other scientific tools in the fields of medicine and energy.
My current research focuses on advanced forecasting metrics, hybrid AI models, and energy-aware digital tools for microgrids and climate resilience. I am also the founder of Phy2A (SIREN 928 694 827), a scientific consultancy specialising in advanced solutions for healthcare, energy, and meteorology.
Beyond my research activities, I serve as Associate Editor for Scientific Reports (Nature Portfolio), as an Editorial Board Member of Sustainability (MDPI), and as a Working Group Expert within the European Technology and Innovation Platform for Photovoltaics (ETIP PV), Digital PV, Grid and Storage. I also act as an expert reviewer of research proposals for the Swiss National Science Foundation (SNSF), Swiss Cancer Research, and the Kuwait Foundation for the Advancement of Sciences (KFAS).
Background
Background
From 2003 to 2024, I worked as a certified medical physicist (DQPRM) in several French hospitals. I led the Medical Physics and Radiation Protection Unit (UF01795) at CHD Castelluccio (Ajaccio) from 2020 to 2024. During this period, I was involved in treatment planning, radiation safety, and quality assurance in radiotherapy, as well as supporting medical imaging techniques such as CT and SPECT. I contributed to the safety or planning of radiotherapy for more than 10,000 patients.
I co-developed LQL‑Equiv, a freeware tool to calculate biologically equivalent doses in radiotherapy, in collaboration with Daniel Julian [archive]. This software is now used by clinical and academic centers in over 20 countries. In parallel, I held academic positions at the University of Corsica from 2011 to 2023, where I taught physics, thermodynamics, stochastic processes, and biostatistics. I contributed to both undergraduate and graduate programs at the IUT and the engineering school Paoli Tech.
I also held:
A visiting researcher position at CNRS UMR 6134 (2013–2015)
An associate researcher role at the University of La Réunion (2018–2019)
In 2024, I left the hospital sector to focus entirely on scientific research.

Current Research
I am now a research director at the O.I.E. Laboratory (Observation, Impacts, Energy) at Mines Paris – PSL, based in Sophia Antipolis. His main research focuses on:
AI-based solar irradiance forecasting
Probabilistic modeling
Uncertainty quantification
Energy optimization in smart microgrids
Recent innovations include:
Clear-sky-free models using extreme learning machines trained directly on raw GHI data.
Transfer learning and clustering to adapt forecasting models to locations with little or no data.
Complex-valued time series encoding both amplitude and volatility for probabilistic forecasting.
The introduction of the Stochastic Coefficient of Variation (sCV) and a new Forecastability Index.
