Berangere Lartigue
Ph.D.
Visiting Researcher
Associate Professor, Paul Sabatier University
Berangere Lartigue, PhD teaches in the SoA's Doctor of Design (DDes) program.
She is an Associate Professor at Paul Sabatier University in Toulouse, France, where she teaches heat transfer, thermodynamics, and aerodynamics to undergraduate students. Lartigue has also developed a new course on initiation to research for graduate students in the Master’s program for sustainable buildings.
Among her research topics, Berangere investigates the thermal characterization of materials to analyze the relation between a material’s micro-structure and its macroscopic thermal properties. She also studies optimization techniques to improve the thermal performance of building envelopes across multiple criteria such as energy consumption, daylighting, and thermal comfort. She also develops models to simulate the behavior of buildings’ occupants using artificial intelligence techniques.
Berangere acts as an expert for reviews of European projects and as an associate editor for scientific journals.
