Laurence Le Coq is full Professor in Environmental Engineering at IMT Atlantique (https://www.imt-atlantique.fr/en). She is Delegate director in charge of Research & Economic Development at Institut Mines Télécom (https://www.imt.fr/en/). Her research activitiy is conducted at GEPEA laboratory (https://www.gepea.fr/). It deals with mass transfer and particle transport through porous media. The research topics are : • AEROSOL : Transport, capture and resuspension at fluid/solid (porous) interface – application to air depollution, fumes treatment and gas separation for energy valorisation or environmental issues. • GAZEOUS POLLUTANTS : Transfer w/w.o reaction at fluid/solid (porous) interface – application to COV , PAH and inorganic compounds adsorption for air, fumes and syngas treatment. • POUROUS MEDIA : Structural and physico-chemical characterisation in relation with mass transfer / flow through porous media – application to filter clogging and adsorption. She has been in charge of several research responsabilities. From 2015 to 2019 she was consecutively Vice Dean for Research & Innovation at IMT Atlantique and Dean for Research at Mines Nantes. From 2008 to 2015, she was in charge of the Department Energy System & Environmental Engineering at Mines Nantes, as well as deputy director of the Doctoral School in Engineering Science. She was deputy director of GEPEA laboratory ( CNRS joint research unit) from 2012 to 2020. Regarding teaching responsabilities, she was in charge of the Research Pathway of the Engineering Diploma, Mines Nantes from 2015 to 2019. From 2006 to 2008 , she was in charge of the MSc Environnement specialty GPEA , Univ. Nantes ; as well as of the Environnement engineering pathway of the Engineer degree, Mines Nantes from 2002 to 2007. After a PhD thesis defended in 1996 at INP Grenoble (https://www.univ-grenoble-alpes.fr/english/), she was a research and teaching assistant at Nantes University – Process engineering Lab, Flow and Transfer team from 1996 to 1998. From 1998 to 2008, she was assistant professor at Mines Nantes in the Department Energy System & Environmental Engineering. She is full professor since 2008 at IMT Atlantique (former Mines Nantes before 2017) after obtaining her research habilitation ( HDR ) in 2006.
